Forspoken, a year post-release, continues to spark heated debate among players, even with its free PS Plus offering. The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium additions surprised many with a positive reception for Forspoken and Sonic Frontiers.
However, this free accessibility hasn't universally translated to praise. Many players, after only a few hours, abandoned the game, criticizing the "ridiculous dialogue" and weak narrative. While some appreciated the combat, parkour, and exploration, the overall sentiment suggests that engaging with the story and dialogue renders the experience unpleasant.
PS Plus's impact on Forspoken's popularity appears limited due to the game's inherent inconsistencies. In this action RPG, New Yorker Frey is transported to the breathtaking yet perilous land of Athia. She must master newfound magical abilities to navigate this vast region, fight formidable creatures, and defeat powerful matriarchs known as the Tants, all in a desperate bid to return home.
