    What a great game.... Forspoken has to be one of the most creative games I've played this year. I loved the story, characters, and the message. And the combat / parkouring system is A1. You just have to put the time in to learn it. Athia to me is a interesting land... especially when you read the archives and understand why it's in the state it's in. If I had to put a number on it. I"d give it a solid 8/10. Definitely not as bad as these influencers/reviewers are saying. I can tell that half of them didn't even play the game ..or just played the original demo. Guess now I will go after the platinum trophy and max out Freys Abilities. I finished the main quest at the 49hr mark If you're on the fence...give Forspoken a try. It's unfortunate that it didn't do that well at retail...cause I would love to see more of Frey's story unfold...still have more questions..looking forward to the upcoming DLC.

    The steelbook case for Forspoken is sleek and sexy! Good story,lots of combat and abilities to gain and upgrade as the game progresses. The protagonist is funny at certain parts of the game as well. Come explore the land of Athia!

    Forspoken has plenty of intense battles, magical skills with upgrades, and loads of visual aesthetic to explore. The combat is fun although dodging a bit clunky until you get use to it. The story is intense and definitely draws you in.

    Game is Way Overhated

    The topic that comes up with this game is the cheesy "Marvel" dialogue which yes im sick of Marvel doing it... but this isnt Marvel, soundtrack is great im about 7 hours in at this point and im really not seeing where all the other hate is from. But single player games are my department. Lots of different abilities and its nice to get something different. The steelbook that came with this is very nice. Overall all i enjoy it. There is plenty worse out there and this is a solid 7.5 out of 10 for me.

    Forspoken is absolutely fantastic. With all the spells you can unlock, the gear you can upgrade, the fights, the bosses, and a storyline that rivals the best video game stories, this isn't a return to form for SquareEnix, it's a testament that they still got it, and will have it for a very, very long time.

    Played the demo and I loved it, really anticipated the combat flow and style system mixed with the parkour, I haven’t finished it yet, but I love it, super fast paced combat that makes you feel really cool especially when you’re surrounded by enemies and not getting hit. I recommend this at full price because of my demo play through but if you’ve never been exposed to any of it, probably wait for a sale.

    I really enjoy this game it really felt like a final fantasy game with a very different story. I personally loved the final fantasy series, and after play 7's remake this game really felt like an obscure entry in the series, despite it being unrelated.

    It was a fun game but I think it would have done better with a $40 price tag. The world is huge but most of the different points of interest feel very copy paste and cookie cutter. The main story is where the game really shines and there's some neat looking scenery along the way.

    Absolutely fantastic game. Smooth combat that is easy, enjoyable and fun. Loads of side quests and a world full of puzzles and events to explore. Hidden bosses that on hard mode can feel almost like a souls level boss. Excellent traversal and movement. A fun story with some emotional moment. A excellent new Square Enix IP. Definitely play. 8.8-9/10. Sadly this experience was only tarnished by the fact that I still have gotten no Steelbook yet Best Buy promised it. I wish another company offered the Steelbooks. If you’re like me and enjoy editions like this don’t expect them to be safe shipping or even trust you’ll get one if you choose store pickup. Do better Best Buy please
