Forspoken, despite being a free PS Plus offering nearly a year after its release, continues to spark heated debate among players. The game's inclusion in the December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium lineup generated surprisingly positive initial reactions, with many expressing interest in trying it alongside Sonic Frontiers.
However, this enthusiasm hasn't translated into universal praise. Many free-to-play users abandoned Forspoken after a short time, criticizing the "ridiculous dialogue" and weak storyline. While some appreciated the combat, parkour, and exploration, the overall sentiment suggests that the narrative and dialogue significantly detract from the experience.
It seems the PS Plus offering hasn't revived Forspoken's fortunes, highlighting the game's inherent inconsistencies. The action RPG follows Frey, a New Yorker transported to the breathtaking yet perilous land of Athia. Frey must master her newfound magical abilities to navigate Athia's vast landscapes, battle creatures, and defeat powerful matriarchs known as the Tantas, all in a desperate bid to return home.
