Review Forspoken (PS5) - Messy Action RPG Is Massively Hit and Miss
It's a kind of tragic
Forspoken is one of the most hit-and-miss games we've played in a long time. For everything it does well, it fumbles something else, resulting in a fantasy adventure that's full of ups and downs. It's a game that feels a bit confused in terms of what it actually wants to be, chasing a AAA-style 'cinematic' story one minute and...

Review Forspoken: In Tanta We Trust (PS5) - Better Than the Main Game
Square Enix just did that
In Tanta We Trust is a rare example of DLC better than the main game it's based on, but that doesn't mean you need to rush out and buy a PS5 copy of Forspoken in order to play it. This optional expansion trumps the original campaign purely because it doesn't need to bother with the baggage of an open world experience: vast...

As promised by Square Enix, Forspoken will be getting post-launch support in the form of an expansion in the relatively near future.

News Surprise! Forspoken and Other Square Enix Games Didn't Meet Sales Expectations
Hope you like blockchain gaming
In news that's certain to shock absolutely no one, Forspoken — along with the glut of 'smaller' games that Square Enix released last year — did not meet the publisher's sales expectations. The company's stance on the matter is revealed in its latest business briefing (as reported by RPG Site), with current...

Available now
A new game update for PS5 console exclusive Forspoken is now available to download. Taking the RPG to version 1.10, this does more than fix a few bugs — it's a pretty big patch that introduces some much requested improvements and enhanced performance. Many of the major bullet points are outlined in this blog post, but we'll go...
News Forspoken Dev Luminous Productions Will Soon Be No More as It's Folded into Square Enix
Forspoken support still coming
Luminous Productions, the development team behind Forspoken, will merge with publisher Square Enix on the 1st May. The Japanese outfit was already a subsidiary of Square Enix, so this essentially means that it'll no longer exist as its own studio. Instead, we assume that most of its employees will be moved to various...
News Forspoken Ended Up Being 'Nothing Like' Gary Whitta's Original Pitch
On the cutting room floor
Forspoken just kind of came and went, didn't it? After so much buildup pre-release, the magical action RPG dissipated almost immediately upon release into the wild. Part of the hype for the game was the writing talent attached, including Rogue One scribe Garry Whitta and Amy Hennig of Uncharted fame. But as these things so...
News Forspoken PS5 Patch Will Address Performance, Graphics, and More as Dev Remains 'Committed'
Promises spoken
Given how busy the February release schedule is, you'd be forgiven for forgetting about Forspoken, which released to a somewhat lukewarm reception a few weeks ago. At least from our perspective, the conversation that surrounded the game seemed to drop off a cliff just days after launch, and Square Enix gave no indication of what was...
News Actress Ella Balinska Has Seen Your PS5 Forspoken Memes, And She Ain't Fussed
Frey to go, girl
Forspoken isn’t the first game in video game history to have dodgy dialogue, and it certainly won’t be the last – but for some reason, it’s become the victim of a social media backlash, with no shortage of out-of-context clips shared online to ridicule lead character Frey. Actress Ella Balinska – who plays the character...

Preview Forspoken on PS5 Feels Like a Weird Tech Demo
But it does have potential
As you may have already read, we were not sent early review code for Forspoken. This means that we won't have a full review for you to read in time for the game's launch on the 24th January. However, having spent most of the day with the PS5 action RPG, we wanted to write up some first impressions, which will hopefully...
Preview Forspoken PS5 Feels Like a More Magical inFAMOUS
Our impressions after four hours of play
Please note: This preview is not based on the recently released Forspoken PS5 demo. It’s based on a much bigger build played at a recent event. Sucker Punch Productions might not be interested in making a newinFAMOUS game any time soon, but Square Enix has you covered: its upcoming PS5 title Forspoken...
About The Game
Forspoken follows the journey of Frey, a young New Yorker transported to the beautiful and cruel land of Athia. In search of a way home, Frey must use her newfound magical abilities to traverse sprawling landscapes and battle monstrous creatures.

When game review embargo’s end the day before the game officially releases I don’t think it’s a great sign that the critic reviews will be very positive at all. And since the embargo for this title ends at 2pm Monday 23rd just 10hrs before the UK release not sure it’ll get anything higher than a 7. Square Enix I think the many delays to this title has not done you well. Stick with Final Fantasy for now.
Forspoken is a good A-RPG !
