As Frey, you will embark on a thrilling, other-worldly adventure and face treacherous trials to unravel the mystery behind the unknown land of Athia and awaken something much more from within.įorspoken will harness the full power of the console and demonstrate Luminous Productions’ philosophy to provide a gaming experience like never before, fusing together the latest technology with creativity. Hopefully, the story they teased will include a bit more meat to make a possible sequel or second DLC a worthwhile purchase.Forspoken is an action RPG where you will take on the role of Frey Holland, an ordinary young woman who must harness her magical abilities to survive in a fantastical and dangerous land called Athia. There are a lot of thrills to be had but the balance of content and story just doesn’t live up to the potential I believe this DLC had. Along with that, when you finally get the chance to explore, the entire map can be seen within a few minutes. Near the start, they bring in Talismans only for there to be few to actually find. ![]() I would have loved for the DLC to have a bit larger map to explore. It is a bit of a shame that the entire DLC lasts only three or four hours. Zipping around the map and launching off buildings is a blast. I, for one, am someone who got enthralled with the magic parkour system and the combat. In a bit of a twist, my only complaint about the DLC is how small it actually is. It even got me with a surprise twist that I thought connected the DLC to the main game in a great way. Thanks to multiple notes and the introduction of new characters, the story turns out to be easy to follow without the need to down excess information that was present in the base game. The story, though small, packed a lot of information about the early stages of the Break before the events of the campaign. Completing these will give you more Healing Draughts - an important tool for survival, though you can easily complete the story without them. Along with this, there are only a few pieces of side content for you to complete which come in the form of enemy camps. One of my biggest complaints about the main campaign was the amount of unnecessary space that had you exploring for hours with nothing of interest or value to find.Įverything in the DLC feels like it has a purpose and there are no unnecessary areas to explore. Without the break shards being everywhere, the map was easier to explore and the color was more vibrant.

The introduction of a companion helped make the combat feel more interactive and gave an extra layer to it without going overboard. Cinta aids you in combat by casting spells of her own and will perform combos when you freeze one of your foes. This keeps everything focused and takes the needless complexity of the combat away.Īlong with your spells, you are now accompanied by Tanta Cinta. ![]() As you progress, you get more spells but they never pile up to the point of feeling overwhelming, and you’re never forced to switch spell trees. Outside of the standard attacks, you also have support spells that can freeze enemies for a short period of time. At the start of the DLC, Frey loses her magic and it is replaced by a new form of yellow magic which streamlines her moveset to a ranged and melee attack. The DLC kept what I enjoyed most from the base game, like the magic parkour system and high-speed combat, while smartly doing away with the overwhelming number of spells and a large map. The better side of magic Image via Square Enix Not only is the story smaller and more comprehensive but there are additional gameplay mechanics that expand on what the campaign introduced. ![]() The new story takes place 25 years before the events of the campaign and ends on a fantastic setup for future stories in this world. Forspoken has received its first DLC titled In Tanta We Trust and it takes some of the best parts of the game, crams them into a tight box, and gives you a few hours of fun. ![]()
