Forspoken’s new demo has fun parkour hiding under a generic action RPG

It might be time to stop ragging on Forspoken. Yes, it has an abysmal name (that, upon reflection, is no more ridiculous than, say, Triangle Strategy or Live A Live), but after finally getting my hands on the demo that launched yesterday, there’s actually a solid game hidden under the layers of poor promotion and cringey dialogue.

I’ll admit to not being particularly wowed by Forspoken during any part of its development cycle. It looked like a very generic action...
