Forspoken is not wanted even for free. The game divided the opinions of PS Plus users

Forspoken, despite its free PS Plus offering, continues to spark heated debate among players nearly a year after launch.

The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium additions surprised many with a positive reception for Forspoken and Sonic Frontiers. However, this initial enthusiasm hasn't translated into universal praise.

While some players, both free and paid, champion its merits, others abandoned the game after a few hours, criticizing the "ridiculous dialogue" and weak storyline. Although many appreciated the combat, parkour, and exploration, the consensus points to the narrative as a significant point of contention, rendering the experience unpleasant for those focusing on the story.

Ultimately, a free PS Plus release seems unlikely to revitalize Forspoken's reception. The game's inherent inconsistencies remain a major obstacle. The action RPG follows Frey, a New Yorker transported to the breathtaking yet perilous land of Atia. Armed with newfound magical abilities, Frey must navigate this expansive world, battling formidable creatures and powerful matriarchs known as the Tants, all in a desperate bid to return home.
