Forspoken

0 minute read

A game centered around some absolutely stellar parkour gameplay, with some really fun combat that genuinely does feel like you're controlling a cutscene. It's honestly incredible, and a real shame that it was overshadowed by performance issues. The story is passable (simple, but there seems to be a decent amount of surrounding lorebuilding). The 'In Tanta We Trust' DLC is very fun - combat continues being tight, fun, and flashy, and the pacing is alright (~4h total). Most performance issues have been resolved post-launch, though VRAM usage will climb unbounded during gameplay, eventually requiring a reload from the main menu to fix textures and recover performance. Very fast loading with DirectStorage *definitely* mitigates this. I honestly really like it, despite the shortcomings.
