Nearly a year after its release, Forspoken continues to cause angst, judging by user debates, even as a free-to-play game for PS Plus.

Those who tried Forspoken for free are arguing its worth just as much as those who paid full price.

When the PS Plus Extra and Premium lineup was announced for December 2024, PlayStation LifeStyle noticed a surprisingly positive reaction from players, many of whom said they were looking forward to playing Forspoken and Sonic Frontiers.

But some of the players who tried Forspoken quit after a few hours, citing ‘ridiculous dialogue’ and a poor story. Some stayed because they enjoyed the combat, parkour and walkthrough, but the general consensus is that Forspoken becomes unbearable if you follow the story and dialogue.

It looks like PS Plus won't breathe life into Forspoken as the game is too inconsistent. In the action role-playing game Forspoken, Frey, a girl from New York, finds herself in the dangerous and gorgeous Atia. Fray must utilize her newly discovered magical powers to traverse the wide region, battle monsters, and vanquish strong matriarchs known as the Tants in order to find a path home.
