What The HELL HAPPENED To Forspoken?

Показать описание

Reviews are finally available for Forspoken, and while we scored it a 7 – not the worst, but not the best – overall impressions have been mixed. On Metacritic, it has an average Metascore of 68 from 61 critical reviews. There are several 8+ ratings, but the vast majority range from a 6 to a 7.3, with the lowest being a 4.

If you enjoy Forspoken, absolutely nothing is wrong with that. Plenty of games haven't received universal praise and are still incredibly fun. Luminous Productions will doubtless take the criticisms to heart and do everything possible to improve the game. I don't see a rewrite for the script anytime soon, but maybe those who enjoyed Forspoken's combat and running around in Athia will have it better later.

Honestly your review sounded more like a 5 or 6 out of 10, not a 7

Flawed game? Sure. Bad game? Definitely not.

You gave it a 7 out of 10. That's not a bad game.

Also Square has still put out pretty good games. They all might not be stellar goty contenders, but they all brought fun for many. The negative takes seem to be the loudest though and it sucks that it's going to sway some away from a good time. Next year we'll probably see all the "it's not as bad as they said" videos.

I completed the demo, I thought it was fine 🙂

For me, it's the edgy teenager and the dialogues that killed it.

After listening to the video, why did you guys at Gamingbolt give "Forspoken" an 7 out of 10? Everything you mentioned didn't deserve such a high score.

Lmao yesterday you praised this game calling it a "Visual Powerhouse" and now you upload a "What Happened" video. Hypocrites.

Yesterday you called it a "graphical powerhouse" now you changed your mind? Lmao

The fact Square Enix blacklists reviewers who don't praise their games is a major red flag for anything Square Enix releases. I knew this game was a disaster when every critical reviewer never got a review copy.

This is the definition of a "wait til it hits $20" type of game

And in top of that they had the audacity to add a premium $10 charge for the base version.

Anyone who spends 70$ on this is actually a fool.

Adding this to the list of games that just looked "to good to be true" in the trailers

Trying to wrap my head around this 7 out of 10 score is like trying to understand a food critic who says “this dish is overall & all around crap, but I give it a 7” 🤨

Maybe the most brilliant arc in GamingBolt history.

Forspoken embargo ends at 9 am yesterday — slew of videos out on it to get the algorithm stimulated.

The very next day is lambasting the game like you didn’t just give it a 7 yesterday.

Incredible.
