Forspoken is genuinely a decent game and I'm really struggling to see what people as a whole are disliking about it.
At no point did I find the dialogue nor story 'cringe' as everyone else seems to, infact, it's just the same as most open-world RPG's - which is baffling to me.
I actually quite enjoyed the story, and my major criticism for the game is that it was a little bit too short.
Graphically, yes, it's been downgraded from the initial teasers and announcement - which, as a title built for the PS5 is disappointing, but it's still not the worst looking game I've ever played.
The open-world is pretty much the same as most modern open-world games, littered with locations to explore and 'complete' - and hundreds of chests to collect.
There's a surprising lack of side quests though, which is annoying given the story's length.
The combat, however, is the main draw for this game. It's something different and is incredibly engaging, once you've gotten the hang of how the spells work and using them combined with Forspoken's parkour system becomes just delightful to experience.
I will absolutely be spending the next 30 hours collecting everything in this game - and would not be mad at a sequel.

Well I did think that this game didn't look that bad from the outside and that people were less charitable to it than any other AAA release just because a black woman is the protag. So I guess I might've been right all along!
