Forspoken, despite its free PS Plus offering nearly a year post-release, continues to spark heated player discussions. The game's value remains a point of contention, with opinions as divided among those who played it for free as those who paid full price.
Initial reactions to its December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium inclusion were surprisingly positive, with many expressing excitement for both Forspoken and Sonic Frontiers. However, this enthusiasm quickly waned for some. Several players abandoned Forspoken after just a few hours, criticizing the "ridiculous dialogue" and weak storyline. While others found enjoyment in the combat, parkour, and exploration, the overall sentiment suggests that the narrative and dialogue significantly detract from the experience.
It seems unlikely that PS Plus will significantly revive Forspoken's fortunes. The game's inherent inconsistencies are a major hurdle. In this action RPG, New Yorker Frey is transported to the breathtaking yet perilous land of Atia. She must master her newfound magical abilities to navigate this vast world, combat creatures, defeat powerful matriarchs known as the Tants, and ultimately find her way back home.
