The verdict seems to point at Square Enix’s underdog adventure game Forspoken as a potential freebie. Despite the visually stunning universe of the game and some remarkably innovative elements, Forspoken faltered in the commercial arena. However, gracing the PS Plus line-up may very well resurrect its gaming potential. Let’s just say, it’s the Cinderella story we all need for the start of the year.
