At times it feels like Frey has everything under control and there is nothing to worry about. The problem here is the lack of consistency in this part of the story which left me with a strange feeling. On the other hand, Frey is dealing with a lot from her past life, and it bleeds into her life in Athia. On the other hand, some main bosses like Tanta Prav and Tanta Sila have been written very well and really end up adding to the story. Most of the time the performances from the supporting characters were so flat and uninteresting that I forgotten about them right after the introduction. The in-game characters are not the strong point of the game. On top of that she is also granted the power to control rocks and use them for defensive and offensive measures. Right off the bat, the protagonist, Frey Holland, is granted powers to traverse and parkour through the world with magical abilities. Gameplay is where Forspoken really shines, and we get to see the potential of the game. Another thing that I noticed while going through the game is that it would only allow the players to explore at certain points and restart from the last location if the players did not stay within the destination. However, it also draws inspiration from fantasy worlds such as Harry Potter, Witcher and more. A portion of the game has been influenced by Indian mythology. The locations also hold references to Indian words, such as Junoon Castle or Svargana. But even using those powers doesn’t feel exciting for too long and you eventually find yourself fast travelling to every location. Most of the time, the players will feel that this huge open world only serves one purpose and that is to highlight the flashy traversal and parkour mechanics that have been created for the protagonist. One good thing about one type of enemy is that they come in hordes, which adds to the challenge. But, other than the few altered mutants, the players will find themselves fighting with the same 2-3 types of enemies in the world. The world is undoubtedly huge and is filled with different types of threats and monsters that players can go up against.
There is nothing they find in the world that might be worth looting or adding to the story. The only issue here is that with all the beauty in the world, there is no incentive for the player to explore. It was an overly ambitious undertaking as the developers created this massive open world with different biomes and exhilarating sites. There were different modes of difficulty available, but I went with the one the developers had recommended to the players. Even though the frame rate did drop a lot, the beauty of the world allowed me to stay in this mode for the rest of my play through.
I reviewed Forspoken on the PlayStation 5 and played with the Ray Tracing graphics mode. Also read: Valentine's Day 2023: From Games To PC Accessories To Console Hardware, Here's Everything You Can Gift Your Gamer Partner
