“There Are Things That We All Do That Might Be Eyebrow-Raising to Other People,”: Forspoken Actress Says She’s Isn’t Bothered by the Criticism

Everyone is gripping Forspoken by its throat. Ever since it was published a few weeks ago, it has drawn considerable criticism for practically all of its features, with the visuals being among the most popular ones among gamers. Additionally, the protagonist’s performance was largely ridiculed since it had conversations that even the most tolerant person may find embarrassing.

Ella Balinska, who plays Frey, is a witness to all the criticism on the internet, whether it be on YouTube or Twitter. To many people’s surprise, she is not bothered by the many interpretations of her character that others have of her, but rather accepts them.

Ella Balinska gives her response to the undying Forspoken criticisms

Forspoken might not be the greatest game, and it’s certainly not what was promised when it was first published.

But to claim that it appears to be the worst game released in years is a ridiculous stretch. Especially given that one cannot stop reading comments about “woke” games, bad dialogue, and ridiculous stories that only make you believe that 95% of the reviews are from people who haven’t even played it.

However, Forspoken’s lead actress claims she isn’t disturbed by the internet debate sparked by the game’s language.

Ella Balinska, who portrays the lead character Frey in Forspoken, expressed pride in her performance since she got to play a part that her eight-year-old self would have been thrilled to be a part of. “I always reference my eight-year-old self whenever I talk about something I’m proud of doing, I’m just speechless right now,” Balinska spoke with The Verge.

Even before it was released, Forspoken drew criticism from a variety of quarters, but the conversation between the protagonist Frey and her intelligent bracelet has garnered the most attention.

“I think people always have a positive or negative response to something they’re not used to seeing, and that’s completely okay because that’s the way we incite change,” Ballinska told The Verge. “This is such an extraordinary game that has come out with this amazing protagonist who’s so bold, so unapologetic, so reluctant in the best way possible. I think audiences might not be so used to seeing that,” she further added.
