Forspoken, despite its free PS Plus release nearly a year after launch, continues to spark heated debate among players.
The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium offerings included Forspoken, generating surprisingly positive initial reactions from many anticipating its gameplay. However, this enthusiasm was short-lived for some. A significant number of players abandoned the game 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 engaging with the narrative significantly detracts from the experience.
Ultimately, it seems the inconsistent nature of Forspoken prevents a PS Plus resurgence. The game follows Frey, a young woman transported from New York City to the breathtaking yet perilous land of Athia. Armed with newfound magical abilities, Frey must navigate this vast region, battling monstrous creatures and powerful matriarchs known as Tantas, all in a desperate attempt to return home.
