We'll introduce you to some of the reviews in more detail and then tell you what the community thinks about them.
OpenCritic: Generally, the Reddit user uses the reviews from OpenCritic for Forspoken. Many reviews from different editors can be found there.
These are the basic facts from January 24, 2023, on OpenCritic:
The Outerhaven Productions: Kyle Simcox from Outerhaven Productions apparently couldn't be convinced by Forspoken and only gave it 2 out of 5 stars. He describes the game as a "bland experience," The game tries many things but doesn't really execute any of them well.
IGN: With 6 out of 10 points, IGN rates Forspoken more in the midfield. The editors do think that combat and parkour can be fun. However, that's not enough to make the clichéd story and an empty open world interesting.
GamingTrend: With 90 out of 100 possible points, Forspoken seems to convince the editors of GamingTrend. According to editor David Flynn, this is an incredible title. In his opinion, the story is a bit too generic. However, the gameplay is inventive, magical, and an "absolute blast." He claims Forspoken is an exciting leap forward for the action game genre.

The user mainly talks about how people who criticize the game and only talk about the bad things about it can't stop. He's looking forward to when the critics can just let go of their well-guarded criticism of the game and "move on."
He's not alone in that, either. After all, every player has his or her own individual experiences with the game, and those are important. Of course, players will encounter both the good and the bad in the process, and problems must be fixed and not the entire game put down because of it.
The important thing, he said, is that the experiences are reflected in such a way that the community, unsure whether to buy the game, can decide objectively based on the shared experiences by other players and the resulting reviews. However, highlighting and dwelling only on the ugly doesn't help anyone.
