Forspoken, despite being a free PS Plus title nearly a year post-launch, continues to spark heated discussions among players.
The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium additions, including Forspoken and Sonic Frontiers, generated surprisingly positive initial feedback. However, this enthusiasm is far from universal.
Many free players abandoned Forspoken after a short time, criticizing the "ridiculous dialogue" and weak narrative. While some appreciated the combat, parkour, and exploration, the overall sentiment suggests that the game's story and dialogue significantly detract from the experience for many.
PS Plus's free offering hasn't revitalized Forspoken's reception; the game's inconsistent quality remains a major issue. The action RPG follows Frey, a New Yorker transported to the breathtaking yet perilous land of Athia. Armed with newfound magical abilities, Frey must navigate this vast region, battle monstrous creatures, and defeat powerful matriarchs known as the Tants to find her way back home.
