The Forest

Alt text

“The Forest is a first-person open world-survival horror video game in development by Endnight Games for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4. The game's pre-alpha version was released through Steam Early Access on May 30, 2014. The game takes place on a heavily forested island where the player character is a lone survivor of a plane crash. The game is an open world sandbox, with no set missions or quests, empowering the player to make their own decisions for survival. Early reviews for the pre-alpha version were highly positive. The alpha is currently in a playable state with additional gameplay features planned and in development.” — Wikipedia

I have the game on my PC, and played for a good 1 hour. It was okay, and it kept me on my toes since the enemies (referred to as "cannibals") in this game can jump you while you're doing something. Thoughts on the game?

  • I have it and I like it. Don't play it very much but still a fun game. But it lags like hell.

  • It's a very powerful game, I get up at most 15 fps (Even on the lowest settings). The game is still in alpha stages, so the final version will surely be optimized.

  • Darn sure it is a powerful game.

  • Ooo, I hope it's good.

  • Very creepy.

  • Is anything given about the character we play as? Or are they a blank state?

  • If I recall correctly, you play as a father trying to find his son who was taken by the mutants.

    I feel like that's it, but don't take my word for it.

  • Just think fathers searching for lost sons, or adventuring alone with them, has been done to death in the past couple decades.

    Recently its been replaced by older men having to look after younger girls they arent related to, but yeah, just a bit boring in my personal opinion.

  • Nah you're thinking of TWD season 2.

    ;p
