Forspoken, a year post-release, continues to spark heated discussions among players, even with its recent PS Plus free-to-play offering.
The game's free availability on PS Plus Extra and Premium in December 2024 generated surprisingly positive initial reactions, with many expressing anticipation. However, this enthusiasm wasn't 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 overall sentiment suggests that the narrative and dialogue significantly detract from the experience.
PS Plus's impact on Forspoken's popularity appears limited by the game's inherent inconsistencies. The action RPG follows Frey, a New Yorker transported to the breathtaking yet perilous land of Athia. Frey must master her newfound magical abilities to navigate Athia's vast landscapes, battle creatures, and defeat powerful matriarchs known as the Tants, all in a desperate attempt to return home.
