Forspoken, despite being a free PS Plus offering nearly a year post-release, continues to spark heated debate among players.
Even those who accessed it for free are engaging in discussions about its value, mirroring the sentiments of those who purchased it at full price. The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium additions, including Forspoken and Sonic Frontiers, generated surprisingly positive initial reactions.
However, a significant portion of players abandoned Forspoken within hours, citing poor writing and unconvincing dialogue. While others appreciated the combat, parkour, and exploration aspects, a common thread emerged: the narrative and dialogue significantly detract from the overall experience for many.
Ultimately, Forspoken's inconsistent nature suggests that its PS Plus inclusion won't dramatically revive its popularity. The game follows Frey, a young woman transported from New York to the breathtaking yet perilous land of Athia. Armed with newfound magical abilities, she must navigate this vast world, battling creatures and powerful matriarchs known as the Tants, all in a desperate attempt to return home.
