I borrowed a copy of the game for a bit (so my opinion might be different than if I had paid $70) but the game is alright. The combat is actually pretty cool and the game looks good but the world itself is kinda barren. I never really understood the complaints about the dialogue because while it's no The Last of Us/God of War or anything, it's not any worse than most games of its type.

Like another comment here said I think some of the hatred the main character gets is because of racism/sexism. I remember leading up to release, reading comments that were like "she is so off-putting" and when asked to explain, their answer was always something akin to "idk I just don't like her" which seemed to me like they didn't want to say it's because she's a young black girl. Like I said above she's not really any worse than most games' main characters.

It's weird that this game receives so much vitriol when there are much worse games which came out this year that are more deserving of such harsh criticism. Forspoken is like a 7 or 7.5 out of 10 game, I'd say. If you can get it for $20-$30 or so I think that's a decent price.
