I am not sure how many steps forward versus how many steps back Forspoken takes, but there are steps taken forward. There is a lot of diversity in the cast too, in a way we don’t usually get from big-budget RPGs. And I also can’t deny there are some eyebrow-raising moments as to how the writers chose to portray a black woman like Frey, despite personally liking her quite a bit when viewed through the lens of having finished the game.

But at the same time I can’t help but be disappointed with how safe Forspoken plays the open world, and I am unlikely to go back to clear out all of those rote points of interest. There is a lot of fun to be had exploring Athia and the main quest keeps things interesting even when you get bored with the open-world checklist. However, PC players will need to reserve almost double the storage capacity listed on the game's Steam page, revealing the PC game file size clocking at a staggering 150 GB.Forspoken is a far better and more compelling game than I had feared, but it also doesn’t reach the heights I dreamt of. While it's been reported that Forspoken's game file size is quite bigger than God of War: Ragnarok and smaller than Horizon Forbidden West, the latter depends on the regional version of the game.

On console, downloading size is reported to be around 87.3 GB, according to the Twitter account PlayStation Game Size. Regarding how much storage space to reserve, it raises some eyebrows as it varies between PS5 console and PC, but you should make some ample space regardless. Timing-wise, preloading should be available at 12 am local time for the available platforms mentioned earlier.
