The Forest is an awkward open-world survival game. It's thrilling to play because of the intense atmosphere, but confusing maps and annoying enemies make it really hard for me to immerse into the game.
Jank and sometimes dumb mutant cannibals aside, what Endnight Games accomplished with The Forest with only a team of four people is simply extraordinary. It's one of the best survival games I've played in recent memory.

Probably the best open world survival game existing. Had a blast playing it with friends recently.

Absolutely incredible game. Without the updates this game wouldn't be as close to as good it is now. The unexpected story itself to this game was a 9.5/10. Not only the story was good, but building a base, defending the base from cannibals, killing them, and just having fun with friends made it 10x better!

For most of them, survival games shipped as « early access » are mediocre, at best. But The Forest isn’t one of them: it’s a deep, finely tuned game which is never afraid to brutalise the player.
In a crowded landscape littered with a few too many survival crafting games, The Forest makes a pretty strong case for itself. With an open-ended world balanced by a story that moves forward, The Forest contains both freedom and mounting tension and provides not just the means for the player to survive, but a compelling reason to do so.
If you were already tired of fighting horrendous mutants, the alternative ending is the only valid reason to return to the forest. If, on the contrary, you have lived under a rock until now and you missed it, we warmly invite you to pack and board ... but watch out for the turmoil!
The Forest is a great survival game, particularly recommended for those who enjoy crafting and would like to discover a story as they survive.
The Forest begins as a great survival game, but soon becomes mediocre due to its dull action. The poor gameplay mechanics and narrative are some of the elements that make it hard to recommend this game.
Summary As the lone survivor of a passenger jet crash, you find yourself in a mysterious forest battling to stay alive against a society of cannibalistic mutants. Build, explore, survive in this terrifying first person survival horror simulator.
