Due to the vastness and unpredictable nature of Forspoken, players can benefit from changing a few settings in the Main Menu. Some players like to change the settings to make their journey easier, while some like to challenge themselves and set the settings to a higher difficulty.
To set the difficulty level of the world, players can select one of three options at the beginning of the game. Nonetheless, these options are not the only way to set the difficulty in Forspoken, as there are other settings to check in the Gameplay Balance and Accessibility Settings categories.
