After a brief introduction where Frey sees her hopes for a new life outside of New York literally go up in flames, she finds a mysterious bracelet in an abandoned house that magically transports her to the world of Athia, where a mysterious force is threatening every living thing across the land.įrey soon realises that her bracelet is sentient and that it can communicate with her, so she promptly nicknames him Cuff. In Forspoken, you take control of Alfery “Frey” Holland, a troubled young woman from New York who is desperately trying to leave her current life of crime and being involved with one of the city’s gangs. Boasting some really promising gameplay elements such as a unique combat system that combines magic spells with the fluidity of parkour and a protagonist that is a young woman of colour, Forspoken could have been an outstanding game that also offers a refreshing take on the fantasy genre. Few games have shown so much potential but fallen so short, as Square Enix’s latest action RPG title, Forspoken.
