The designers don't even trust you can do a sneak mission on your own: you have to follow a character (with a marker on top of her head!) as she does the sneaking for you! 5) generic enemies with braindead AI and genereic, empty world 6) it's $70 !!! Really!? It's not even worth $50! If you buy it (which you shouldn't) wait for a 75% discount. 4) expect pop-up triggers (press "E" to do this) and numbers (damage done) everywhere. The talking bracelet is annoying as hell, several other character you wish you could just kill off to silence them (which you can't. She's a terribly written, constantly cussing entitled, whiny POS. No, it's not because she's black, so stow the "racist!" outcry. Remember the "interactive" CD-ROM movies in the 1990s? First hour feels like that. The real problems why Forspoken is a below average game are: 1) technical issues (framerate drops, stuttering) graphically it's not impressive (will probably be fixed eventually) 2) gameplay: it feels like watching a movie. Just making the main character a black female New Yorker does not make a game woke. Expect a LOT Forspoken is NOT really woke.

I’m expecting that to be a little more divisive than Hi-Fi Rush, but I’m not expecting it to fall on its face like Forspoken clearly has here either. The next biggest exclusive to arrive from either PlayStation or Xbox is Arkane’s Redfall, the Xbox/PC release out May 2. Hi-Fi Rush, meanwhile, will almost certainly get a sequel greenlit after this kind of performance, a coup from Tango Gameworks and its veteran talent. So, what does this mean for both brands? Well, Square Enix isn’t done yet in 2023, given that they have Final Fantasy XVI to release this summer, and few are believing that’s going to be some sort of giant misstep from them.
Forspoken, meanwhile, is “Mixed,” only 57% positive on Steam.
In addition to these lofty Steam sales, Hi-Fi Rush boasts a 98% “Overwhelmingly Positive” user reviews, based on confirmed purchases. But it’s a far cry from the near-universal praise that Hi-Fi Rush is getting from both critics and fans. The highest praise I’ve heard for it is that “it’s better than people are saying,” and combat can actually be pretty fun if you play it right. It could have been a huge title, as it certainly had the resources behind that to make that happen, but instead it feels like a cautionary tale. At this point, I think it’s safe to declare not just a critical miss with rather low review scores, but a likely financial flop as well for Square Enix.
