Forspoken is now available on PC and PlayStation 5 worldwide. You can learn more about the game by checking out Alessio’s review, where he highlighted how the game’s magic parkour and combat are two of its most remarkable features.
Forspoken is a fun action game that shines best when you’re taking advantage of the great magic parkour to soar through the fantasy world of Athia and blast enemies with overwhelmingly cool spells. However, its content is underwhelming, its RPG systems are weak, and its visuals are less advanced than advertised. As such, Forspoken’s potential is largely unrealized in its current state. It’s still a decent romp for genre fans to go through, though waiting until it gets a discount or is added to one of the many subscription services is recommended.
