Forspoken, despite its free PS Plus offering nearly a year post-release, continues to spark heated debate among players. The game's inclusion in the December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium lineup generated surprisingly positive initial reactions, with many expressing anticipation for both Forspoken and Sonic Frontiers.
However, this enthusiasm hasn't been universally shared. Many free players abandoned Forspoken after a short time, criticizing the "ridiculous dialogue" and weak storyline. While some appreciated the combat, parkour, and exploration, the general sentiment is that the narrative and dialogue significantly detract from the overall experience.
The inconsistent nature of Forspoken appears to be hindering its resurgence via PS Plus. The game follows Frey, a New Yorker transported to the breathtaking yet perilous land of Athia. Armed with newfound magical abilities, Frey must navigate this expansive world, battling monstrous creatures and powerful matriarchs known as the Tants, all in a desperate bid to return home.
