What The HELL HAPPENED To Forspoken?

Reviews are finally available for Forspoken, and while we scored it a 7 – not the worst, but not the best – overall impressions have been mixed. On Metacritic, it has an average Metascore of 68 from 61 critical reviews. There are several 8 ratings, but the vast majority range from a 6 to a 7.3, with the lowest being a 4. If you enjoy Forspoken, absolutely nothing is wrong with that. Plenty of games haven’t received universal praise and are still incredibly fun. Luminous Productions will doubtless take the criticisms to heart and do everything possible to improve the game. I don’t see a rewrite for the script anytime soon, but maybe those who enjoyed Forspoken’s combat and running around in Athia will have it better later.
