Forspoken, despite its free PS Plus offering nearly a year post-release, continues to spark heated debate among players. The game's inclusion in the December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium lineup generated surprisingly positive initial responses, with many expressing excitement.
However, this enthusiasm hasn't been universally shared. Many free-to-play users abandoned Forspoken after a short time, criticizing the "ridiculous dialogue" and weak storyline. While some appreciated the combat, parkour, and exploration, the general feeling is that the narrative significantly detracts from the overall experience.
The game's inconsistent nature appears to be hindering its revival through PS Plus. Forspoken follows Frey, a New Yorker transported to the breathtaking yet perilous land of Athia. Armed with newfound magical abilities, she must navigate this expansive realm, battling monstrous creatures and powerful matriarchs known as the Tants, all in a desperate bid to return home.
