March 2025

I normally don't really like stage based linear action platformers, instead prefering the open ended level design of the metroidvania genre. However Foregone's excellent combat, addictive looting, impressive pixel art & wonderfull soundtrack had me hooked throughout my playthrough. The levels flow very well and there's tons of visual/enemy variety to keep things fresh as you slice through hordes of enemies. Fighting in this game is just tons of fun, not only due to satisfyingly smooth animations and responsive controls but also because the difficulty is just right. Foregone is not easy but it's not hard either, you can cleave through enemies en masse but reckless play will have you meet your demise. This is especially true for the bosses which were among the most fun ones i've fought in 2D fashion. From their gorgeous designs to their varied attack patterns to keep you on your toes, these bosses were nothing short of excellent. Another facet that made combat so fun is the weapon looting system! As you progress through the game you'll gradually keep finding new weapons with higher rarities encouraging experimentation with the respectable weapon variety. Favorite among those being the gun nunchucks or gunchucks for short, which are as fun as they sound! But in general every weapon in this game is fun to use and due to how looting works very much worth it as well. Normally i stick with the familiar but the gameplay design here pushes you to vary it up, something that really helps keep the game fresh throughout it's runtime. What also helps ofcourse is seeing all the beautifully realized levels bursting with colourfull pixel perfection. I think Foregone is up there with the best looking pixel art games tbh, it even has some dead cells vibes at times both in combat smoothness and looks! The soundtrack also is just damn great, adding to the intensity of combat. I personally would say that it's worth picking up the OST along with the game as it's a really great listen. They also filled in all the details in the sound files so you can easily upload them to your phone to have them neatly organized in an album, something that is frustratingly uncommon in indie game OST's... Regardless the music is great and so are the SFX and voice acting! Yes, Foregone has VA, which is also quite rare for indies. It's not the best ever but i certainly found it good enough, really helping add more gravitas to the game's story. It's not the most fleshed out story ever but i found it engaging, right till the credits rolled. Finally on a technical level Foregone ran smoothly without any crashes or bugs so it's a well crafted game both in terms of game design and on a technical level. I would strongly recommend this one for any platformer fan, be that linear or open ended like an MV. It's worth the price of admission based on its lenght and fun factor.

Foregone is a great game. The animation of the enemies and the main character give me Flashback and Another world vibes. The game play and combat reminded me of Turrican and Turrican II. (Dinosaur references) The weapons are great and the special surge attacks are fantastic. These can be upgraded and some are very handy at getting at secret areas. The animation of the enemies is detailed and I appreciate the fact that whether I attacked them with melee or ranged the enemy would recoil with each hit. I also appreciate the fact that the corpse slumps to the ground and does not just vanish. This made me think of Nemesis the Warlock. (Super old dinosaur reference) The fact that I played this game through twice, and I was into it, is the ultimate praise I can give. For me personally, the best game of it's type on steam for me. I rate this higher than Dead Cells, Hades, Cup Head, and Ori. This video game is good value at full price and a steal when on special. 5-stars.

Picked this up because i thought it looked like "Dead Cells", to my surprise it wasnt a Rogue like bit and action platformer. You have upgradable gear and weapons, favorite was Gun-chucks, yes you heard right GUN-CHUCKS. Thats a mix of nunchucks and guns wasnt the most powerful weapon but the speed of attack, and the combos you can pull off was alot of fun. Ran GREAT on the Steamdeck, and played at a rock solid 60fps. Id give it a 7.5 score

Sept. 2024

I played over 20 hours and had a fun time going through all of the levels and collecting loot and levelling up. The controls are smooth and the variety in weapons and special attacks give the game a reason to play it over again. I replayed most of the levels 3 - 5 times and still found the game challenging despite having very strong loot. I found no glitches and found the game to be a fun distraction to play while watching tv. For the small price I paid it was well worth it.

Sept. 2024

It's short but fun. It would be nice if there were more enemy varieties and attack patterns.
