VIDEOGAME
Forspoken is
brimming with spells and fantastical enemies corrupted by the encroaching Break, a mysterious malady that warps whatever it touches. Underneath that, however, is a rather mundane first offering from developer Luminous Productions (formed in 2018 out of the development team working on
Final
Fantasy
XV),
that mechanically and narratively never really reaches the lofty heights of its marketing.
