Frey Holland embarks on a journey filled with Awakening and Adventure in Forspoken

Frey Holland, the protagonist of the new IP from Luminous Productions, Forspoken, embarks on an unforgettable journey filled with magic, action, adventure and mystery. After suffering through a difficult childhood, the orphan is thrown into Athia, a mysterious parallel world filled with ancient ruins and undead monsters, courtesy of a magical portal.

The shock of immediately being targeted by an unknown group gives Frey the motivation to confront the looming evil; it is all up to her to save the last stronghold of humanity. Accompanying her on the adventure is an ally, a talking bracelet she has nicknamed “Traps”. Together, the two find themselves in a strange journey that alternates between hilarity and heart-wrenching moments, as they develop a peculiar relationship.

From a visual standpoint, the title has been fully realized with Luminous Productions’ next-gen engine. Frey and her environment are brought to life with spectacular graphics and mesmerizing animations. Players can join Frey in familiar combat and parkour action, powered with over 100 magical spells and dozens of upgrades and outfit sets. Additionally, they can also enjoy stealth and chasing mechanics that are reminiscent of classics titles.

The game presents a solid, yet controversial plot; the greater context of Athia and the Tear is far more interesting than the main plot, which has its moments of absurdness. Even the side missions, though filled with tasks such as chasing a cat and collecting items, provide an entertaining distraction from the overarching story.

In summary, Forspoken gives us an unforgettable ride through an action-filled universe with real-time magical combat and parkour. Although it falls back in some areas of design, the thrilling open-world and stunning visuals of next-gen graphics are sure to provide hours of fun.
