Although if I were here I’d be a bit disappointed.
Not a single talking unicorn to be seen.
Forspokenis somehow both full and devoid of content.

There is a huge open world, but it is mostly empty.
Even the much-Tweeted aboutannoying dialoguedoesn’t happen much, and isn’t contextually annoying.
I will not.).

The traversal, like the combat, is better the longer you play.
That’s a large chunk of game that isn’t as fun as it could be.
It’s an uneven balance that you’re able to see in most of Forspoken.

They just react how they need to move the plot along.
All this is without mentioning the performance on PC.
It doesn’t look bad, it just doesn’t lookanything.

At ground level it’s a very empty world.
There’s a lot of stuff to do in Forspokenin theory.
There are flashback shrines that throw you into a time trial taking place in the past (??)

I’m convinced everything in Forspoken would be 100% improved if it was about 60% smaller.
The world would be compact, but it would be dense, more interesting, and appropriately scoped.
Given the nature of these things, I expect we never will.
