Forspoken is not wanted even for free. The game divided the opinions of PS Plus users

Nearly a year after its release, Forspoken continues to stir up debate among gamers, even as it becomes available for free through PS Plus. The game has sparked discussions among both those who experienced it at no cost and those who purchased it at full price.

When PlayStation LifeStyle announced the PS Plus Extra and Premium lineup for December 2024, there was a surprisingly positive response from the gaming community. Many players expressed enthusiasm about trying Forspoken alongside Sonic Frontiers.

However, opinions on Forspoken remain divided. Some players who sampled the game for free decided to quit after just a few hours, criticizing the 'ridiculous dialogue' and the narrative. On the other hand, those who persevered found enjoyment in the game's combat mechanics, parkour, and exploration elements. Yet, the general sentiment suggests that Forspoken can become unbearable if one focuses too much on its story and dialogue.

It seems that the inclusion of Forspoken in the PS Plus lineup may not be enough to revitalize interest in the game, given its inconsistent quality. In Forspoken, players follow Frey, a New York girl who finds herself transported to the enchanting yet perilous world of Athia. To find her way back home, Frey must harness her newfound magical abilities to navigate the vast landscape, combat fearsome creatures, and defeat powerful matriarchs known as the Tantas.
