![]() ![]() I don’t have the greatest PC in the world, but it can usually run anything I throw at it and get a consistent 60 frames per second. What also sucks is, for the PC port of the game, the game has major technical issues. The pop-ups slow the game and force the player to skip it all to get back to having fun. ![]() It sucks to spend half of a video game not playing the game. It feels like something a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 open-world game would do. Every time you meet someone or encounter a new mechanic, the game stops your movement and decides to not let you play the game. It doesn’t sound that bad until you enter the game’s vast open world.

Frey, voiced by Ella Balinska, is the main character of “Forspoken.” Frey’s writing is the worst aspect of the game because her character is mean to everyone around her and has no meaningful character development.

Zipping around a monster while throwing magic attacks is where the game is at its best. This switch spell mechanic combined with the fluid parkour is a fun time. If you are fighting an enemy who is quick on their feet, you would want to use a melee spell. If you are fighting a flying enemy, you would want a ranged attack.

You play as Frey, a young New Yorker who is transported to Athia, a fantasy world being corrupted by an unknown force of magic. “Forspoken” is an open-world, role-playing game. When I finally delved into the game, it turned out to be one of the most frustrating and technically unstable games I have played in a long time. I saw the gameplay trailers and became pretty interested. There is a pretty good lineup of games I am excited for in 2023, and “Forspoken” was one of them. ![]()
