Sure it's open world, and yes, it's an action RPG, surrounding one character, and supported by an array of characters, but I feel like the comparisons stop there. Everything here feels so different from what I do know of those games. Even if I did, I couldn't possibly compare Forspoken to those games. If you came here looking for comparisons to those games, this ain't the review for you. I did not play the new God of War(s), nor any of the Soulsborne games, nor did I play any of the Horizon games. Their very first foray is the highly anticipated " Project Athia", which is now known as Forspoken.Īllow me to preface this review with some insights from my own recent gaming experience. So the excitement was palpable when I found out that the people who created that game started a gaming studio under SquareEnix called Luminous Productions. I also want everyone to know that I am one of those rare outliers who genuinely loved Final Fantasy XIII, and my love for Final Fantasy XV knows no bounds. I just loved the fact that it was an open world RPG action adventure for all Final Fantasy fans. And then, they gave us all Final Fantasy Remake, and I lost my collective. They are responsible for my introduction into role playing games like Final Fantasy VI (III) VII, IX, and X, Chrono Trigger, and Secret of Mana. I knew SquareEnix back when it was just "Square", and even " Squaresoft".
