Forspoken is looking like more of a time-filler than a killer PS5 exclusive
be a big deal. Yet so far, Forspoken has elicited more incredulous guffaws than gasps of awe. Inspiring a sea of mocking memes after an early trailer’s cringy dialogue, the internet’s opinion on the upcoming action RPG feels like it’s already been… well, forspoken. Now, with a lengthy hands-on for press – and a free, shorter demo out now on the PS Store – publisher Square Enix is hoping to turn the tumultuous tide of public opinion.
Like all fish out of water storylines, Frey finds herself paired with a knowledgeable guide – a magic-imbued talking bracelet. He’s a good fit, providing a refreshing antidote to Frey’s incredibly online vocabulary, rocking a particularly condescending-sounding English accent reminiscent ofWith this mysterious plague-like substance transforming humans into snarling zombie-like husks, it’s safe to say that you’ve visited Athia during the wrong season.
Darting around Athia’s expanse like a Red Bull-fuelled squirrel, this fluid exploration suddenly feels worthy of its current-gen console home. It’s hard to overstate just how good leaping and dashing around this sprawling world feels. From leaping across plains of grass to sprinting directly up walls, the fast-paced magic parkour traversal is endlessly satisfying.
Thankfully the core combat is the perfect antidote to each town’s beige banality. Spells and magic effects erupt in dazzling displays of color, allowing you to leap around your foes like a renegade rainbow. Casting chains of vibrant combo-starters, your magic is split into two main types: earth-based sorcery on the right trigger and plant-based magic on the left. Sadly, there are no Quorn-summoning pets to assist you.

In-hospital cardiac arrest: the state of the art - Critical CareIn-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is associated with a high risk of death, but mortality rates are decreasing. The latest epidemiological and outcome data from several cardiac arrest registries are helping to shape our understanding of IHCA. The introduction of rapid response teams has been associated with a downward trend in hospital mortality. Technology and access to defibrillators continues to progress. The optimal method of airway management during IHCA remains uncertain, but there is a trend for decreasing use of tracheal intubation and increased use of supraglottic airway devices. The first randomised clinical trial of airway management during IHCA is ongoing in the UK. Retrospective and observational studies have shown that several pre-arrest factors are strongly associated with outcome after IHCA, but the risk of bias in such studies makes prognostication of individual cases potentially unreliable. Shared decision making and advanced care planning will increase application of appropriate DNACPR decisions and decrease rates of resuscitation attempts following IHCA.
