I sprinted, often literally, through the campaign in about 15 hours, and now I have a large world filled with nooks and crannies I’m eager to run through and explore.
“ Forspoken‘s story and combat fail to reach the heights of its movement and exploration, but thankfully those two latter elements make up most of the experience. At the very least, Forspoken proves its worth on its own terms, and demonstrates the potential to someday hang alongside Square Enix’s staple franchises.” Luminous Productions is definitely onto something with this concept, it just needs a bit more focus and refinement. It has its fair share of issues, but the longer you spend time in Athia, the more its world draws you in with its intriguing combat and the simple pleasure of freely crossing massive environments with spellbinding abilities. “After all is said and done, Forspoken emerges as a solid new IP. Those scores are going to change one way or the other as more reviews come out, but here’s a look at what some early reviewers are saying about the title. Other outlets were much more concerned with those shortcomings.Īt the time of this writing, Forspoken has a 68 Metacritic score and a 69 OpenCritic score. You won’t have to look hard to find praise for the game, though much of that praise is tempered by the reality of some of Forspoken‘s shortcomings. As we are one of those outlets, we’re instead bringing you a roundup of some of the notable Forspoken reviews so far.Īt the moment, it seems safe to say that reviews of Forspoken are mixed and trending towards slightly negative. Not only did many previews (including our own) point out some of the game’s notable early issues, but full reviews of the game have been embargoed until the day before its release, and many outlets have reported that they did not receive an early review code.
Square Enix’s Forspoken is certainly one of the biggest new releases of 2023 so far, but its road to release has been a bit rocky.
