Forspoken Free on PS Plus Yet Unwelcomed

Forspoken, despite its free PS Plus offering nearly a year post-launch, continues to spark heated player discussions. The game's reception remains sharply divided, even among those who experienced it at no cost.

The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium additions, including Forspoken and Sonic Frontiers, generated surprisingly positive initial reactions. However, this enthusiasm quickly waned for some Forspoken players. Many abandoned the game after a few hours, citing poor storytelling and "ridiculous dialogue" as major drawbacks. While others appreciated the combat, parkour mechanics, and exploration aspects, the overall consensus points to the narrative and dialogue as significant detractors, rendering the experience unpleasant for those who engage with them.

Ultimately, it seems the free PS Plus offering hasn't revitalized Forspoken's image. The game's inherent inconsistencies remain a significant hurdle. 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 expansive world, battle formidable creatures, and defeat powerful matriarchs known as the Tantas, all in a desperate attempt to return home.
