You may have already heard that several outlets haven’t had review code for Forspoken, Squeenix’s magical parkour isekai game that’s out today and that some people have already decided they hate because of the dialogue. I was actually pretty excited to review the game, and was hopeful that the dialogue would make sense and work in context. But unfortunately we, too, are one of the outlets who don’t have code, so no PC review from us for a while.
Like many others – and you too, if you’ve got a PS5 – I’ve been able to play the free Forspoken demo, which plops you into the game after the opening bumf, and presumably the cutscene where Frey establishes her modern girl “lemme get this straight?!” credentials. And you know what? I don’t hate it!
