The Geekly Grind shone a spotlight on Foregone during PAX West, praising the demo’s fluid, balanced, and graceful combat. The article notes that Foregone‘s inspiration and love for Dead Cells is clear, but the game sets itself apart with its “grander” art and focus on a story-rich experience with permanent upgrades.
“Overall, if you liked the gameplay of Dead Cells but want a fuller story-rich experience where you can find and keep weapons and abilities you like while growing ever more powerful, Foregone is a great game to play.”
