Forspoken: PS Plus Users Offer Lukewarm Reception to Freebie

Forspoken, despite its free PS Plus offering nearly a year post-release, continues to spark heated player discussions. The game's value remains a contentious point, even among those who experienced it for free versus those who paid full price.

PlayStation LifeStyle observed a surprisingly positive initial response when Forspoken was added to the December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium catalog, with many expressing anticipation. However, this enthusiasm wasn't universal. Many players abandoned Forspoken after just a few hours, citing poor storytelling and "ridiculous dialogue" as major drawbacks. While some appreciated the combat, parkour, and exploration, the prevailing sentiment suggests that engaging with the narrative significantly detracts from the overall experience.

Ultimately, a free PS Plus offering seems unlikely to revitalize Forspoken's reception. The game's inconsistent quality, a blend of enjoyable gameplay mechanics and a deeply flawed story, continues to divide players. In this action RPG, New Yorker Frey is transported to the breathtaking yet perilous land of Athia. Armed with newfound magical abilities, she must navigate this expansive world, battle formidable creatures, and defeat powerful matriarchs known as the Tantas to find her way back home.
