Forspoken for really cheap in Black Friday is great, actually.
In my original Forspoken review, I spoke to how Frey’s inaugural – and now likely last – adventure in Athia shows off both the sparkling highs of the Luminous Engine’s impressive technology and its bizarre lows.
Forspoken was supposed to be a flagship for Square Enix. Tasked with launching a new IP to rival the likes of Assassin’s Creed, it aimed to marry a massive open-world, exciting combat and a deep and engaging story. For a slew of reasons it has massively failed on that front, eventually limping out as a strange and incohesive hodgepodge that was much less than the sum of its parts.
