Forspoken Struggles to Find Audience on PS Plus

Forspoken, despite being a free PS Plus title nearly a year post-launch, continues to spark heated debate among players. The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium announcement revealed surprisingly positive anticipation for Forspoken (alongside Sonic Frontiers), yet opinions remain sharply divided.

While some players, even those who acquired it for free via PS Plus, champion its merits, others abandoned it within hours, criticizing its "ridiculous dialogue" and weak narrative. While many appreciated the combat, parkour mechanics, and exploration, the overall consensus points to the story and dialogue as major detractors, rendering the experience unbearable for those who focus on them.

Ultimately, PS Plus's free offering doesn't appear to have revitalized Forspoken's reception. The game's inherent inconsistencies remain a significant hurdle. The action RPG 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, battle formidable creatures, and defeat powerful matriarchs known as the Tants to secure her return home.
