The Forest focuses on classic survival elements and combines them with a dark horror setting. The game by Endnight Games was already released in 2014 as an Early Access version for PC and is now also available for PlayStation 4.
In The Forest you take on the role of a survivor who finds himself on a deserted island after a plane crash. Completely on his own, the first thing he has to do is explore the area and take useful supplies from the remains of the other passengers' luggage to be prepared for the first few hours. In The Forest you not only have to pay attention to enough food, but also keep your fluid balance in mind. There are numerous ways to quench your hunger and thirst in the game. While you can initially rely on the provisions from the plane and use canned drinks, bars and the like, later it is about setting up traps to catch wild animals or finding and growing edible berries. However, your own needs are not the only problem you have to face in The Forest. Even if it initially looks like it, you are not alone on the island. So it won't take long until you discover the first creepy figures that are getting closer and closer to your makeshift camp. You will also find numerous indications all over the island that something is not right here. Impaled heads on poles and primitive dwellings are just some of the clues that point to the hostile life forms. At the latest, when you first meet the cannibals, it should be clear to you that you are not invited here for a nice meal, but end up on the plate yourself if you don't defend yourself. With increasing game time, the cannibals become more and more brazen, numerous and intrusive, making it increasingly difficult to avoid them.
To protect yourself from the threat in the forest, there are numerous options in The Forest. So you should first build a base with your own cabin, fences and traps to make life difficult for the cannibals. For this you have to mine resources like wood, stones or plant parts in classic survival mode and search the environment for resources such as fabric scraps and the like. From the individual parts you not only build a shelter and useful tools. You also have the opportunity to make numerous weapons with which you can defend yourself.
Like most other survival titles such as ARK Survival Evolved or DayZ, The Forest also throws you more or less into the game world without explanation and thus offers you an intense, believable, but also demanding and challenging experience that will keep you facing new challenges. Thanks to the co-op function, you can also experience the innovative survival game together with a friend and get support in the fight against the man-eating jungle dwellers.
