Honestly, Forspoken is not that bad.

Looking forward to seeing them when you do them.
Forspoken is quite similar than FFXV in that the game is seemingly worse than the sum of its parts. The whole of the game just never seems to gel together design wise for what it's aiming to do. Seems to be baked in at the core of Luminous Studios and how the studio was run by the team leads/producers.
I will say that it's greatest sin is that is sorts of pull a "Days Gone". What do I mean by that?
It introduces a somewhat unlikable protagonist and doesn't really go fast enough in telling the player "See this is why, but don't worry, character development is coming". In fact that period is probably even longer in this game, this is without talking about the dialogue style that the game has, which is a whole other thing.
The game takes way too long to get to the main narrative theme of the game that is tied to the Isekai.
It also takes a while to unlock certain powers that makes the game much more fun than at the beginning. So anyone who might've diverged from the main story too early and got bored as they do the side content might just miss out on a gameplay experience that feels noticeably better to use as the game goes on and you unlock more things.
The Order has some incredible cutscenes but also great Art Direction all around. Since its a 2015 title, it's missing a bunch of the rendering techniques that would become more standard as the generation went by, same with object density, but it still punches quite above its weight graphically and artistically.

Legend says that if you go in front of your bathroom mirror and turn all the lights off, then say "forspoken" 3 times, when you turn around @rofif will be there
Adamsapple made tons of jokes about the game and still bring it up constantly to mock it but he played and finished it at release on PS5.
This is proof the game was killed by console war. Forspoken wasn't that bad in reality. 7/10.
