That’s not so offensive on its own, but the real crime is how poorly the writing establishes any of its characters and the relationships between them – it’s like it constantly assumed I must already be invested in these people in a way it never actually made me. We had to revalidate the files, and then we had to patch them, and then we got a message about a corrupt patch, so we had to re-download some more, and apply a patch, and.Forspoken’s world and story are about as bland as they come, equal parts predictable and forgettable. We did have a crash about 10 minutes in, though. The PC we were playing on has a 1080P monitor and AMD RX6600 gfx, and it played flawlessly. can't tell if it's genuinely bad or worth-a-try yet, but that's my impressions of the first hour or so. It feels like there will be some potential for decent exploration and fun action (you can jump and climb and earn XP and can unlock powers etc), as long as the cringe aspects are diluted out.

Yeah, there's some annoyance with not being able to move while your intelligent vambrace thingy talks to you (why can't I mult-task!?), but this is the tutorial part - I doubt it's going to occur further on in the game.

Given we're now out of the 'set up the story' phase and into the proper game, I imagine there will be less of that. They're probably not that long (25 minutes?), but they feel long.ĭialogue is slightly cringey, but not Saints Row reboot cringey.

The biggest issue so far that the start is quite dull and doesn't sell the game very well. I've seen the first hour of the game (I didn't play it myself, my teenage kids alternated while I watched).
