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

Forspoken, a year post-release, continues to spark heated discussions among players, even with its recent PS Plus free-to-play offering. Opinions remain sharply divided, mirroring the reactions from those who purchased it at full price.

The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium additions, including Forspoken and Sonic Frontiers, generated surprisingly positive initial buzz. However, this enthusiasm quickly waned for some. Many players abandoned Forspoken after a short time, criticizing the "ridiculous dialogue" and weak storyline. While others appreciated the combat, parkour, and exploration aspects, the general agreement points to the narrative and dialogue as major detractors, rendering the experience unpleasant for those who engage with them.

PS Plus's impact on Forspoken's popularity appears limited due to the game's inherent inconsistencies. The action RPG follows Frey, a New Yorker transported to the breathtaking yet perilous land of Athia. Armed with newfound magical abilities, she must navigate this vast realm, conquer monstrous creatures, and defeat powerful matriarchs known as the Tants to find her way back home.
