Forspoken, despite its free PS Plus offering a year post-release, continues to spark heated debate among players. While some PS Plus subscribers express enthusiasm, mirroring the positive reactions seen when it was added to the December 2024 Extra and Premium lineup, others remain unconvinced.
Initial reactions on PS Plus were surprisingly positive, with many players citing anticipation for both Forspoken and Sonic Frontiers. However, a significant portion abandoned the game within hours, criticizing the "ridiculous dialogue" and weak narrative. While some appreciated the combat, parkour mechanics, and exploration, the general sentiment suggests that engaging with the story and dialogue renders the experience unbearable for many.
It seems unlikely that the PS Plus inclusion will significantly revitalize Forspoken's reception. The game's inherent inconsistencies remain a major point of contention. The action RPG follows Frey, a New Yorker transported to the breathtaking yet perilous land of Athia. Armed with newfound magical abilities, Frey must navigate this expansive world, conquer monstrous foes, and defeat powerful matriarchs known as the Tants to secure her return home.
