Speaking of Square Enix, I see Forspoken trending on Twitter and it's mainly people saying the demo is bad or mid, both critic previews and fan impressions. People who were excited about the game before, saying it has a graphics downgrade relative to the marketing materials, technical issues, cringe dialogue, an empty world, floaty or overly hectic combat. I have been saying much of this since it was announced, it never looked particularly good to me, world traversal mechanics aside. Would have skipped this one even if it wasn't 2 year timed hatted by Sony. Pretty funny that Sony spent 2 year timed hat money on a dud though, serves them right.  

I only know the announcement trailer and I remember the world looking very very empty. Wasn't impressed at all. Other than that the trailer didn't leave a lasting impression.

The game is fine, it reminds me of Sonic Frontier in that with a couple of tweeks it can hit a high mark.  Definitely tone down the constant prattle between the armband device and the main character.  The game combat takes a while to understand what its going for but once I got the mechanics down it was fun to play and there are a lot of big effects.  Its always hard to get a good feel of an open world game from a demo since it just drop you in a section and you just run around completing missions pretty much.
