![]() ![]() Athia's four former rulers the Tantas have, over the course of 20 years - why, that's just about how long it's been since Frey was discovered abandoned in New York at Christmas, but I'm sure that's a coincidence - gone off their respective rockers. Well, this is happeningĮxplaining Forspoken means I have to use a lot of fantasy words, which I imagine people come up with by using name generators or picking sounds at random from transcripts of Porky Pig (hence, for example, the review guide asked me to please not spoil anything about the dragon of Junoon. Forspoken is annoying, though, just not in the ways you might expect if all you've seen is people discussing out-of-context clips from cutscenes. Even the much-Tweeted about annoying dialogue doesn't happen much, and isn't contextually annoying. I actually enjoyed a lot of Forspoken, but it gets more fun the more you play, and then it's over I didn't pre-order this game for sixty odd quid, and if I had I'd be disappointed. There is an epic story of magic, other universes, and saving the world, but it only takes up a couple of days. ![]() There is a huge open world, but it is mostly empty. ![]() Not a single talking unicorn to be seen.įorspoken is somehow both full and devoid of content. It's all very well being able to zoom around doing magic parkour everywhere, but there isn't much to do or many places to go. Although if I were here I'd be a bit disappointed. Whomst among us hasn't dreamt of somehow being transported to a magical world, where there are talking unicorns, and you can throw lightning and control plants because you are this universe's very special hero? Such is the fate of Frey, who falls through a portal into Athia and finds that world in mortal peril. Squeenix's epic-ish isekai game has cool magical combat, but it's far too big for its own good, and that scale leaves it feeling empty and disappointing.
