Here Are The Cheapest Copies Of Forspoken In Australia

While January’s been a fairly quiet month for games, Forspoken has just hit physical (and digital) shelves, finally giving us all something new to play.

Forspoken is an isekai that’s been delayed twice now for some final polishing, so expectations have been high for this game. Forspoken has been the subject of major hype since it’s an epic open world RPG with a Doctor Strange-like protagonist named Frey.

Reviews of the game started popping up this morning and so far, the consensus seems to be pretty mixed. Or, as Kotaku Australia editor David likes to put it, “aggressively fine“. We’ll have our full review up sometime next week in case you’d like to check back then.

From what we’ve seen so far, Forspoken is about a young woman from New York City, who falls through a mysterious portal, leaving behind her old life (and her cat!?) to find herself in a stunning fantasy land called Athia. She’s disturbed when she realises that the winding, golden bracelet attached to her forearm is a sentient (and very chatty) being called Cuff, who allows her to cast all manners of spells. As Frey searches for a way home, we just pray that someone thinks about feeding her poor cat.

Forspoken has grabbed eyeballs thanks to its fast, acrobatic combat featuring Frey’s magically-enhanced parkour skills. This third-person game is heavy with spell-casting from what we’ve seen in the trailers.
