+ THE GOOD

  • Parkour and magic traversal is genuinely great
  • Combat has real depth once fully unlocked
  • PS5 visuals are solid

− THE BAD

  • Writing is some of the worst in AAA gaming history
  • Open world is empty and uninspired
  • Protagonist is written as insufferable
  • Padded with meaningless side content
★SKIP★NEXT SAVE POINT

Final word: Skip it.

Forspoken earns a 4.5/10 (D) and a SKIP. Best on PS5. Worth your time? NAH.

Verdicts are ours alone — never paid for, never previewed by publishers.
