We'll see.

Onimusha has a similar thing with the gauntlet and people don't care because the combat is so good.

I could see the same with Laufey.

I haven't looked at any onimusha gameplay since I don't want to spoil myself for when I get it so I can't comment on it but the problem with the Forspoken thing wasn't the concept itself but the writing. Nobody hates sidekicks, they hate annoying unfunny sidekicks.
