Originally unveiled as Project Athia back in 2020, Forspoken tells the story of Frey, a New Yorker who sees themselves sucked into the fantasy world of Athia at the time of its greatest peril. How does Square Enix's latest AAA IP stack up though, and is Athia a world worth jumping down the rabbit hole to explore?

    As expected. Combat feels cool, but it's not all about gameplay, especially in a story-driven game. So if the story is shit, the game is probably shit.

    Not really surprised by the score or the performance issues on a PS5, and definitely wont be surprised to see it perform poorly on a PC. Several game raters predicted this would not do well out of the gate and be onsale for 50% off by March.

    Wow, this got a 6.5, but XV got a 9/10?

    Well at least Jo's got his 'ead on straight.

    Honestly I feel bad for Hennig going out of her way to create the Ethos only to be undermined by Gary Whitta's best attempt at emulating Joss Whedon.

    I'll wait for it to go on sale, maybe they will have patched it to run better on PC.

    From the insane PC requirements I assumed it was poorly optimized, and they expect you to brute force it with hardware. Sounds like that bled over to the console version as well.

    Hopefully it will run better on PC but judging by the required specs I'm not holding my breath. Guess it's time to watch some streams and see how it looks.

    Apparently on PC its poorly optimised, so could be an 'avoid' until they fix it kind of thing. This is probably a game that will 'mature' into being more playable, pick it up in 6 months to a year maybe, it will probably run better and be a lot cheaper.

    Remind me in 2 years when it's on Gamepass.

    Hopefully it'll be optimized by then.

    68 on metacritic. Not interested in Dead Space. Will more then likely pick it up. Plenty of games around that score that I generally enjoyed. Maybe not my favorite games but I am glad I played them

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...



    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    Is this game being marketed for 15 year olds? What's with all the trash talk and cursing from the main character, Frey?

    Also disappointed in some areas with the graphics of this game. Why the wonky expressions and dated character models? Why don't they match the environment?

    Did you say the same for Tomb Raider, Metroid? Probably not. The world in which you inhabit where you avoid anything that offends, scares or pisses you off must be really really tiny. How do you make it through a day? No need to use code words here, we see what you are.

    Nvidia and AMD wouldn't have anything to do with triple A games requiring $1000+ graphics cards to run at acceptable frame rates... (sarcasm)

    Watched a streamer play yesterday and yeah... I would never be able to play through with the dialogue that is in this game. Almost every voice line was really trash and not only that, they literally spammed you with it...

    My favourite one from yesterday: "Oh, looks like I/We levelled up!". In a god damn RPG.

    That sort of "humour" drives me mad, so this one is not for me.

    Yeah, at £70 this is a game that is over priced and under developed, maybe in a year's time when its on steam sale for £20, chances are they will have fixed a lot of the games problems by then, maybe. The game doesn't really look all that impressive either, probably be better off spending the money on Hogwarts Legacy instead.
