Your spells and magic make up your arsenal rather than any physical weapon. It’s an action packed game for sure, where you’ll have a good variety of ways to approach each fight. That’s not to say nothing about Forspoken’s combat looked unique. The combat definitely looks like something I may have played before, and there’s a good kind of comfort in that. It’s great to me that these comparisons are easy to see, because they do instill a certain kind of confidence that what we get in the final product will be foundationally sound. Not to mention the way your weapon wheel works looking identical to how it does in Horizon. Then the idea of Frey risking her life for both those she meets in kindness and those who call her “demon” made me consider Aloy. Just watching some Forspoken’s larger spectacles and combat made me reminiscent of Returnal. It’s like how you could immediately feel the similarities and inspirations of Uncharted, Dark Souls and Sekiro when playing Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order. Just because you can see those similarities though, doesn’t make that a bad thing. Right away it’s easy to make comparisons of Forspoken to other action, open world games. We’ll talk a little more about the story later, but for now moving on to the gameplay I got to see. For all her demonic power though, Frey seems to be the once person incapable of being corrupted by The Break. Frey’s powers are frightening to many of the people she meets, they’ll even call her “demon”. There’s more to Athia than just Frey and Cuff, of course. It’s Cuff’s powers that help Frey to learn how to use magic, both as a means of defending herself and parkouring around Athia all the live long day. You’re accompanied by Cuff, a rather helpful magical bracelet. Another trait that helps her in Athia when she needs it, because by the looks of things there’s going to be a lot of combat. She’s tough, and her skin has thickened over the years out of necessity.
What is important to note though about Frey and the difficult life she’s led is the person it’s made her when we meet her. Now, we don’t know exactly what happened that led to her being on the run in the first place, but crossing a portal to another world is a good way to get away from it all for a while.
