2016’s Titanfall 2 was excellent, but it was quickly left to rot at the hands of hackers who repeatedly overload its servers – Electronic Arts shifted that development team’s priorities to the cash cow that is Apex Legends, a decent game stuffed full of loot boxes, battles passes and cosmetics. It’s difficult to recall the last big-budget title that genuinely impressed me with anything more than its graphics.
I struggle to think of a more generic AAA experience than Forspoken, which does a mediocre job treading the exact same path left by the likes of Assassin’s Creed, Middle-earth, Destiny, Far Cry and countless others. The time you don’t waste in cutscenes is spent running around in desolate open plains and fighting hordes of monsters. Of course, Cuff and Frey exchange plenty of sassy one-liners throughout the journey. Frey acquires a magical, sentient bracelet known as “Cuff” – very clever stuff – and must use her newfound powers to return home.
The story is set in the fantasy world of Athia, where protagonist Frey Holland is mysteriously transported to from modern-day New York City. After all, there’s only so many times big-budget studios can cobble together a cinematic third-person action-adventure game before the niche is completely devoid of originality. Thus, expect some first PC performance impressions once it launches.The highly anticipated Forspoken was released on Tuesday, and despite its lofty cinematic presentation, its reception was about what I expected: middling.
Although Square Enix has not provided us with a PC review code, we’ve already pre-ordered it. Now the good news is that PC gamers can at least try the free demo and see for themselves how the game performs on their systems.įorspoken releases later today on PC. Not only that, but Forspoken will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. These PC specs appear to be quite high, and the game will be most likely favouring AMD’s hardware. In the PC demo, players will face-off with a variety of enemies and test their fighting abilities with an extensive arsenal of attack and support magic that will prepare them for the high-octane action they can expect to encounter in the full game.Ī few days ago, Square Enix revealed the game’s official PC system requirements. According to the teams, this PC demo will be available on all available digital stores, meaning that it will appear on Steam, Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store.
Square Enix and Luminous Productions have announced that they will release a free playable PC demo later today.
