Forspoken is a brand-new action RPG from Square Enix and Luminous Productions, and we’ve got plenty of tips and tricks for how to approach the early hours of your playthrough. The game brings a whole lot of magic-based mechanics to the table along with a huge open world to explore, so it can be a lot to take in all at once.
You’ll assume the role of Frey Holland, a struggling young New Yorker who gets transported to another world at a point when life gets tough for her. She’s just as confused as you are throughout the experience, but we’re going to clear a few things up for you ahead of time. The tutorials are timely yet frequent, but they can be easy to miss or skip over when exploration is your main focus.
Before you take control of Frey to venture out into the mythical world of Athia, there are a few details you should know about. The story starts off in a linear fashion, holding your hand a bit until you’re finally let loose into the four major regions that make up Athia. When that happens, you can choose to either follow the main story objectives or take some time to improve Frey’s stats and unlock more magical abilities by visiting a few optional points of interest.
We suggest doing a bit of both to give Frey as many powers as possible, but this list of advice will be useful whether or not you decide to speed through the main storyline.
