    I went into this game a skeptic due to poor reviews. I quickly realized that i would love this experience for what it was. The game i always wanted since my childhood. With fantastic magical abilities and a beautiful world its a fun adventure and i only wish we could see more of this strange world.

    Don’t let the reviews fool you this is a game you have to experience yourself and not let ppl who haven’t real pit in the time tell you how this game is… it may have it flaws but it’s worth the time to see the world of Forspoken and the combat is amazing once you put the time in to unlock and see what’s really there…. So if you still on the fence after reading this you can wait to when it’s around $30 but you will most definitely miss out on an incredible Steelbook if yiu do so take a chance you will not regret it… I haven’t!!!

    Forspoken is a great open-world game that allows you to traverse across the world with special powers that you can upgrade, allowing the player to change their load-outs. The game may have had a few flaws when it released but the recent patches have removed the problems that were at the beginning of its launch. There's just so much to do while also fighting off creatures. Highly recommend it!

    This game had quite a lot of promise to its premise but the execution kinda fell on its face. But it isn’t a bad game, just not worth full price. I got it for $20, and for that price I was very much happy with it. Gameplay is solid, environments can be empty but locals quite beautiful. Voice acting is nothing to write home about and facial animations can be wonky.

    Ok this game is not as bad as people say. Some of the writing is not up to square enix. But if you look at this game like it's trying to be serious. The game is fun to play but it has some issues. Not bad for the price and my version came with a steel book. Just going to say in my opinion it's not that bad,coming from some one who loves Fallout games.

    I had seen some of the scenes from the trailer of this game and I wasn’t impressed but I decided to buy it when Best Buy had it on sale and I really jumped into the story. It unravels the entire story behind the game and the adventures you go on are really good and enjoyable. I’m not finished yet but I haven’t stopped playing it since it has become one of my favorites.

    Overall grat game despite the hate for its dialogue. Wide open world with much to do and collect as well as fast paced combat and awesome bosses. Story starts off slow at first but then ramps up fast after that, but felt a lack of development until the end

    Good game but very misleading on the box description of a fantasy other world adventure. While reading that I thought and had a misconception thinking it would be more like the witcher or maybe even something similar to a high fantasy game like lord of the rings or final fantasy. But it plays more like a theatrical play with a lot of bad punes that don't land and repetitive gameplay for the first 10 hours. The gameplay is smooth and fun but nothing like I imagined so yea it's good but I would make sure that you know what your getting first before buying. Id recommend waiting for it to be in the bargain bin in about a year then get it for 10 dollars instead of paying full price now. Just my opinion.

    The gameplay is fun. Story is not great. The bad language is constant and gets annoying. The worst part of the game is the lead character. She is sooo annoying. She doesn't grow as a character and frankly I didn't care about her at all. I like most of the secondary characters way more than the lead. That is a big fail for any game. It was also buggy and crashed a few times. It may be of interest to parents to know that the central theme of the game is witchcraft. I still give it 3 stars because the gameplay is fun. If the story was better and the lead was likable it would be 4 or even 5 stars. That said I hope they don't make a sequel!

    Despite what the reviewers say, this is a pretty good experience. The combat and traversal can get pretty addictive, especially if you always play as a witch/warlock in RPGs. The story is a decent length relatively, but you can rack up a lot of hours exploring the world. Character isn't as annoying as told by others. The only flaws I saw are of graphical design. Environmental design is a bit weird in places, but i still love the game.

    If you heard anything bad about this game, don't believe it. It has fun parkour and magic systems. Fly through the air like Spider-Man, while shooting magic like Harry Potter. Dialogue isn't as cringe as people made it out to be. A vast open world ready to be explored. Highly recommend going through the settings to customize your play style.

    Starts out slow and the game could use a little more polish, but once you get out into the open world the game shines. Magic parkouring my way through the world is addictive and the magic skill, gear, etc offer fun customization.
