Forspoken, originally known under the working title Project Athia, is an open-world action adventure game with RPG elements. It was developed by Luminous Productions, a subsidiary of Square Enix, also responsible for Final Fantasy XV.
Forspoken is set in the fantasy land of Athia. This once-beautiful place used to flourish under rulers known as Tantas. One day, however, it was pushed to the brink of ruin by a plague known as The Break, which turned animals into bloodthirsty beasts and humans into monsters. To make matters worse, the Tantas suddenly turned into oppressive, hostile and hateful dictators.
The main character of the game is Alfre "Frey" Holland - a young woman from modern New York thrown into this world under mysterious circumstances. She quickly discovers herself to be immune to the plague, while the sentient (and talkative) bracelet around her arm grants her magical powers. Just as quickly, she learns she is not welcome by Athia's rulers. Nonetheless, in order to find answers and a way home, she must deal with the plague and free Athia from the Tantas' oppression.
It is worth noting that the game's story was overseen by, among others, Gary Whitta (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) and Amy Hennig (formerly part of Naughty Dog). The main protagonist is played by actress Ella Balinska.
The gameplay in Forspoken is shown from a third-person perspective (TPP). The game features a vast open world, which we can freely explore. Among the locations available, there are deserts, canyons, picturesque meadows and the bustling city of Cipal. Frey can traverse Athia with a skillset described by the developers as "magic parkour". Using her bracelet's supernatural powers she can run at breakneck speed, jump to enormous heights, near-instantly climb walls and obstacles, as well as shrug off any fall damage.
Combat is just as dynamic, requiring dexterity and good reflexes. The player must skillfully switch between elemental magical attacks, including single-target and area spells, as well as spells which let Frey keep enemies far away or eliminate them in melee. Due to the wide range of available options, it's easy to customize the protagonist to one's individual playstyle. Throughout the game you'll encounter a variety of opponents, the bulk of which consists of monsters inhabiting Athia. There are also plenty of bosses to face, the most powerful of which being the Tantas. Each represents a (distorted) virtue; Tanta Sila is the Tanta of Strength, while Tanta Prav is the Tanta of Justice.
Progressing through the game lets us develop Frey in various ways. Acquired mana can be spent on new skills, equipping cloaks and necklaces increases her stats (health, stamina, defense), while acquiring new patterns for her nails unlocks special abilities and various buffs.
Forspoken takes full advantage of Luminous Engine's potential. The game's outdoor settings, as well as well-animated and detailed character models are all very impressive. Ella Balinska isn't the only star participating in the project. Tanta Prav is portrayed by Pollyanna McIntosh, known from The Walking Dead and other productions, while Tanta Sila is portrayed by Janina Gavankar.

Among the biggest January launches on Steam was the heavily criticized Forspoken. The remake of Dead Space and a online game about the adventures of apes also did well.

The moderate success of Forspoken apparently proved insufficient for Luminous Productions to continue operating in its current form. The team responsible for the game will soon be absorbed by Square Enix.

Destructoid: 7 / 10 by Chris Moyse
Solid and definitely have an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.
DualShockers: 6.5 / 10 by Jeffrey David Brooks
Forspoken is packed with flaws — be they outright missteps or simply middling executions — but there are definitely qualities to this game that can deliver an entertaining and sometimes thrilling experience. I did ultimately enjoy my time with it, all told and considered. There’s interesting lore here, and at times the story approaches compelling, but it was held back so much by odd design choices, an often bland world, and uneven pacing in both the story and moment-to-moment dialogue. On paper, it could and should be great, but nothing quite fits together to make a stronger whole. It’s crammed with so much, and beyond the combat and traversal, the whole experience just winds up feeling like something of a relatively enjoyable mess.
Eurogamer: by Henry Stockdale
Forspoken takes it time to get over a wobbly start, but there's something worthwhile here amongst the noise.
