Update: Scores have risen slightly to a 69 on Metacritic and a 70 on OpenCritic.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. I would absolutely wait for the Digital Foundry review before buying it there. And we should now brace ourselves to figure out how exactly this performs on PC with those crazy recommended specs, which we will apparently not know until the game is literally for sale in the wild tomorrow.
This is bad for both Square Enix, and for PlayStation, who touted this as one of its major console exclusives this year. Generally the spellcasting seems to be a highlight, as I figured it might be from the demo, but it’s not enough to offset the other issues. In general, the complaints are about the dialogue (where there’s actually a “less banter” setting in options to make it less annoying) and the blandness of the open world. Or to translate this to Whedonspeak, “Yep, she really did just do that!" “Forspoken doesn’t do anything new for the open-world genre of games, but it does offer just enough to distinguish itself, mostly thanks to Frey and her magic spells, and a story that’s able to stick the landing.
I’m a bit surprised one of the more positive mainstream reviews is from Gene Park at The Washington Post, who gave it an 8/10:
