Thanks to Square-Enix for a review code of Forspoken!
Mysteriously transported from New York City, Frey Holland finds herself trapped in the breathtaking land of Athia. A magical, sentient bracelet is inexplicably wrapped around her arm, and Frey discovers the ability to cast powerful spells and use magic to traverse the sprawling landscapes of Athia. Frey nicknames her new golden companion “Cuff” and sets off to find a way home.
Frey soon learns this beautiful land once flourished under the reign of benevolent matriarchs, called Tantas, until a devastating blight relentlessly corrupted everything it touched. The Break transformed animals into beasts, men into monsters, and rich landscapes into four dangerous realms. At the center of their shattered domains, the Tantas now rule as maddened and evil sorceresses.
Unaffected by the Break and desperate for answers, Frey reluctantly agrees to help the last remaining citizens of Athia who see her as their only hope. Frey’s journey through this strange and treacherous land will take her deep into the heart of corruption where she must battle monstrous creatures, confront the powerful Tantas, and uncover secrets that awaken something much more from within.
Lead Frey on an unforgettable journey in her search for a way home after being mysteriously transported to a breathtaking, fantastical land. Unravel the mysteries of Athia as Frey travels through the calamitous Break and discovers how to wield an immense power.
Explore the sprawling realms of Athia, a striking land of remarkable vistas and otherworldly creatures brought to life through stunning graphics and cutting-edge technology. Venture deep into corrupted territories where a mysterious darkness defiles everything it touches.
Take on twisted monsters in magical combat with a wide range of powerful abilities catering to a variety of playstyles – from fast-paced and exhilarating to strategic and methodical.
Scale walls, vault across canyons, leap from dizzying heights, and dash through vast landscapes. Frey’s unique abilities allow her to fluidly traverse the open world with ease.

Hey Cowboy, you hype for Hogwarts Legacy?
Ok, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought the writers were making her unreasonably mean and unlikeable especially to cuff
Thomas the Tank Engine had better writting, what the hell is this?!
25:55 is this what you predicted and it turned out to be true? Lol
Thrown together hnd piggy back attempt gone wrong.
Watched PyroCynical stream this when it first came out and oh my God is the writing badd I feel like a bunch of avengers marvel/ Disney adults worked on this
Frey does really come off as a bitchy and narrow person in this episode.
Have to say, the game is pretty damn fun. Wait til post game. You are gonna lose your shit getting to another area. Writing sucks but I did enjoy cuff.
Die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
Thats the vibe I get from this game
Ha! wouldn't surprise me… THANKS FOR VID!
Not sure what the issue is – she doesn't hesitate to kill in self-defense, but after she killed the first Tanta, she realized going out there with the express goal of killing someone isn't her thing.
Goddamn it I fucking knew it! Abandoned baby, no parents to be found…the Harry Potter trope.
Trigun was actually well written and Vash saw war and death. I think the woman he knew as a kid was also part of the reason. idr how Trigun ends but that's what got me into anime and will always be my favorite. Frey is just poor writing. As you said, she killed the Tanta and then was like, no killing anymore. Her constantly wanting to go back to New York was dumb too. Cuff is a better character than Frey.
The magic looks super fun, but my god the writing is bad
Good Luck!
The followers and zombies are not people, they are creations by the Tantas, basically automatons, which is why she has no problem killing them.
She went after Tanta Sila and then that was the first time she’d ever done premeditated murder, then she talked to cuff, her friend about how uncomfortable that is, but despite that he keeps egging her on to be a murderer. That’s why she’s so tilted with him.
My theory is close to yours but I think cuff was sealed because Frey's Mom became a Tanta, Cuff is probably her Dad
It feels like the writers had some macro scale vision of some kind of mental health allegory where each of the Tantas' "breaking" was represented by a mental health condition but they full on flopped on the micro vision of making the main character and the lesser characters she interacts with likable or believable. The gameplay and magic system look like a ton of fun though
It's justified that she denies the initial invitation from the unjust enforcers, given how you're told that even before the break that tanta prav is fond of chopping limbs as justice even for minor crimes like theft, so it's reasonable for frey to believe that prav just plans on executing her the moment she comes over.
I can see what they're trying to do with Frey but it falls completely flat, I don't care about her and she's too unlikable to merit any sympathy.
