The story is very impactful and emotional. It is definitely new to the RPG spectrum of genres, that's for sure. For what the game lacks in easy maneuvering, it makes up for with incredible story telling and unique urban science fiction/fantasy. It's quite clunky at first, but once you learn to manage it, it isn't as crippling as it seems. It seemed like they were "out of pace" with the rest of the controls. The most frustrating part is Faye's parkour abilities. However, there are some issues, which are mainly in the controls. I have been playing video games for about 31 years and this is nowhere near as low as a four. I can guarantee you that Forespoken rates higher than a four (4). There is A LOT to this game and it instantly will overburden the casual player. Whoever gave the green light to release the demo with all the spells and skills leveled, needs to reevaluate their decision making skills. That fantasy world certainly looks appealing, but I realized that's often because the RTX tech disguises art assets that are really cheap and bland.First off, I just want to make a straight statement to kick off this review: DO NOT JUDGE THIS GAME BASED ON THE DEMO. In fact, the game doesn't seem to feature any ray-tracing until Frey arrives in Athia. The opening chapter shows NYC with snow in December, but the ground remains dry, presumably to avoid ray-tracing. Doors inexplicably grow or shrink depending on how you look at them (reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland in all the wrong ways). If the sloppy opening - presenting Frey's entire backstory through documents on a table, with a judge handing down a community service sentence - doesn't turn you off immediately, the lack of consideration only gets worse from there. With publisher Square Enix already catching heat for producer Naoki Yoshida's defense of upcoming Final Fantasy XVI's scant diversity, Forspoken makes the nightmarish choice to start with its Black protagonist in court for her third felony. Put simply, Square Enix faces too many open-world competitors to get away with a poor showing like this.
