Forspoken Is Flawed But Better Than You Think - REVIEW (PS5)

Forspoken launches on PS5 and PC on the 24th of January. We played 20 hours of Forspoken and in this in-depth review, we discuss the story and characters, focusing a lot on the writing slandered in the pre-release coverage. We also cover the gameplay, discussing the combat and traversal and how the open-world mechanics fit into Forspoken.

Every time that Adzi draws a valid criticism about something he didn't like or enjoyed, or something that annoyed him, Jake changes subject or tries so hard to make it look like less of a problem and more like a "good alternative" to what other games do.

After you praise Spider-Mans damn near auto pilot traversal then say Forspokens isn't as good when it actively asks you to engage with it and reward you more for doing so i just gotta take a minute to think 🤦🏾‍♂️😅.

Finally someone actually saying something positive about this game, I've been playing this for hours and I'm having a blast.

[sakutaromusik]

Ich feels like every new game doesn't take itself serious and it has become really annoying like the 20th marvel movie

[StraightcheD]

It seems almost like people have already decided that it's a bad game and bash anybody who says anything remotely positive about it. Talk about approaching a game with preconceived ideas.

[cartel]

Lol everyone is complaining about the dialogue like this is first game with terrible dialogue lol I care about the gameplay

[ShanGamer]

it's a big old pass, bring on dead space remake

[marvin]

I'll cop on a sale tbh for like 30-40 bucks. I think there is some cringe but this is a young girl from NEW YORK transported to another world and given powers lol. I would say a couple cringe things too. It's an Isekai, people should view it that way.

[StrawHatGamingg]

The dialogue means nothing. The character is from New York, slang is expected. If the combat is fun, I’m down.

[SynfulosophyGaming]

Yea this video does a poor job at hiding it’s agenda of “it’s not good” with a shallow essay. 😔

[trillrifaxegrindor]

the dialogue in "foreskinsmokin "makes anyone in a 50 foot radius of "audio from this thing" want to stab out their own eardrums with an icepick

[bill]

I’ll give this game a shot one day, when I commit to getting another console. I just want to understand the creator’s brain on this world.

[moisessantana]

It's so weird that they Liked this game but had a mixed opinion for God of War Ragnarok. Is this a joke? 😂

[travistoastlord]

Odd you guys put out a video on Forspoken but nothing on Hi-Fi Rush...

[JEMustang]

I’m shocked it was marked as a “Liked”

[EnchantedSmellyWolf]

No deal for this game. The Dialogue burns...

[luridnova]

So, like, this is the channel that bashed God of War Ragnorak (not a perfect epic ending to be fair) while praising the newest Sonic. While, to be fair, Sonic is heading in a better direction. Forspoken’s demo was not good, it’s reviews are bombing and the first thing I see is better than you think? Y’all’s reviews seem slightly out of touch, this game is an avoid.

[hitlorani]

that title + the price? naaah, I don't think so.

[eclipsicalbluestocking]

Maybe it's not the next Elden Ring but people are roasting it way too hard

[arsenelupin]

Nahhh, I'm playing this on PS plus
