The Forest

Playing with another person makes this game 10x funnier because something dumb is ALWAYS happening. We spent HOURS building our base just for one badly aimed tree to fall directly onto everything we made 💀 genuinely stared at the screen in silence after that. The survival part is actually super addicting too. After a while we genuinely forgot there was even a story in the game, the main objective just became building the biggest base possible and surviving another night. I also love how the enemies sometimes just stand there watching you from the trees like they’re judging your entire existence before sprinting at you full speed 💀 Some of the bugs honestly make the game even funnier too, sometimes physics just stop making sense completely and weird random stuff starts happening for no reason. And somehow every play session turns into: “okay one more thing and then we stop” Definitely one of the funniest and most enjoyable survival games I’ve played.

Endnight built an incredible and immersive open-world horror craft with The Forest. The game really shines at the three things it needs to in this genre...survival, crafting, and exploration. Your main objective (other than finding Timmy) is to build a well-defended shelter while surviving creepy ass cannibals and freaky mutants that are always creating this constant tension. Exploring the underground cave systems is fun (if you don't die), rewarding you and your friends with better gear while keeping the suspense at an all-time high. The crafting system is pretty great. Your handy dandy survival guide helps you plan and build shelters, towers, rafts, traps or defensive structures(you're not limited to the provided blueprints) which allows your creative genius to come out to play. The guide also serves as a reference about local fauna and flora and figuring out your next objectives on the "what to do list". The inventory/crafting system is unique for weapons and other gear. At first...maybe a little confusing and difficult (why are the watches hidden behind molotovs!!!). One of The Forest's greatest strengths is the mystery surrounding what is actually happening on this island. The story IS strange but the sense of discovery and intrigue keeps you invested. While the narrative can be a bit out there, I found it better than the one in Sons of the Forest. I’ll admit that I started the series with Sons of the Forest, which made The Forest feel somewhat clunky and outdated but it still remains an excellent survival craft that holds up well. Playing it gave me an even greater appreciation for Sons of the Forest though. "OLD" but GOLD.
