Foregone

You play as Calagan's super-soldier, sent to investigate the Harrow, a corrupting force threatening the city after a devastating war. The story unfolds as you push through its affected territories and uncover fragments of the conflict and the Harrow's origins.

Move through side-scrolling stages by jumping, dodging, and fighting enemies with melee weapons and firearms. Explore pixel-art environments for secrets, face challenging foes, and take on boss encounters.

Collect gear with different attributes and rarity levels, then choose weapons and abilities to suit your approach. A skill tree and upgrades at the hub support your progression, while optional missions and New Game+ offer reasons to return.

Players who enjoy Foregone often point to its detailed pixel art and smooth animations, along with fast movement and satisfying platforming and combat. Some also appreciate experimenting with weapons and upgrades, exploring stages, and tackling bosses. Other reviews find the combat repetitive or simplistic, and often criticize the loot progression and the game's short, linear campaign.
