Forspoken’s parkour is the best part of the game - Polygon

Even when she’s given a golden ticket to escape, and magically teleports from the streets of Manhattan to the sprawling plains of a fantasy world called Athia, her luck continues to deteriorate.

Within minutes of being scooped up in the claws of a dragon, the menacing creature happens to drop her in a town where local officials immediately lock her up after a sham court trial.

The magic parkour, which the game calls the “Flow” ability, unlocks early in Frey’s adventure, while she’s fleeing from several monstrous bears.

All you have to do is hold a button as you run, and the DualSense controller pulsates with each leap and bound as Frey effortlessly scales up and around walls and other barriers.

It’s practical, and allows you explore the open world quickly and easily from the start — no mounts or special upgrades needed.

At one point in the intro, you play through a section where Frey runs away from gang members, scaling several fences and walls in the process.
