Forspoken has one of the best battle and movement gameplay systems in gaming, or at the very least in the “power fantasy sandbox” genre. Its story and dialogue are also a very cute, earnest take on Isekai that didn’t deserve the backlash they got. It has its flaws but it’s absolutely nowhere close to being the utter cringe-fest and terrible game that people like Asmongold successfully convinced the rest of the internet it was (because it has a female POC protagonist, basically). Personally, as someone who wanted to live the ultimate elemental wizard power-fantasy in a game since I was a child, Forspoken gave me everything I wanted and more (like cats! Lots of adorable cats).

If you like Prototype and JRPGs you should check out Forspoken, which would be my pick for this thread. The bad reviews and memes were just gamergate bullshit. Despite its flaws, it’s the ultimate wizard power fantasy, with movement and combat that to me felt like a refined and even more fun/complete version of what we got from games like Prototype, Crackdown and Saints Row 4. Once you begin unlocking multiple magic types and get into the flow of switching them around on the fly it really provides some of the best and most satisfying gameplay I remember in my 30+ years of gaming.

In terms of freedom, Apple is the most user-hostile company in the business and has been forever. People are screaming in justified outrage at Google taking out sideloading in 2025, but when was the last time you could sideload something on an iPhone? Oh, never? Right.
The passes Apple constantly gets, even here, are absolutely fucking insane to me. “Oh well, at least they’ve always been authoritarian!” What??
