![]() While some support skills are set-and-forget, like a flower ‘turret’, others require a bit more strategy. Once that’s full, you can unleash a devastating attack that can hit (and hopefully kill) multiple enemies. When you’re facing a particularly tough foe, effective use of your spells will build up a special surge magic meter. Some of the earth spells can deal consistent damage, like magical machine guns, while others will deal charged-up burst damage, or even create an earthen shield that will counter some physical attacks. There’s a skill tree to unlock upgraded spells, as well as more attack options. Attack spells are the showstoppers: cinematic elemental attacks that are usually ranged.

The world of Forspoken is a mixture of natural beauty, paranormal detritus and towns, buildings and structures from when the world hadn’t been turned upside down by what Frey calls the Break. Hopefully, this angst tempers as the game progresses. ![]() I’m not a prude, it just feels excessive and immature. ![]() She’s just as new to this world as you, but she still loves dropping the f-bomb and assorted swear words at every opportunity. The protagonist Frey comes with emotional baggage, some misdemeanors and a mysterious origin story of being abandoned at a train station – something that I’m sure will be revisited later in the game. Yes, be prepared for a barrage of lore and encyclopedic entries on the history, flora and fauna of Athia – but at least I could look up everything in the menu if I ever got lost. ![]() What are the Tantas?
