    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. "Red Forest" is a first-person horror-hunting game.

    Chernobyl. The Ukrainian territory of the red forest lies in the most contaminated zone after the devastating Super GAU of 04.26.1986. Even today large areas are restricted area and belong to the most irradiated areas of the world. In the forests biodiversity increased measurably after the nuclear disaster. No wonder that rumors about frightening mutations arose.

    In "Red Forest", we have the task of cutting the rake in a limited forest area, a humanoid mutation that can attack and kill humans. For this, we should equip ourselves with the right tools at the beginning of the game in the starting building, which unfortunately does not explain the game. Of particular importance, of course, is a firearm and ammunition. However, we should also buy a tablet to have a card and a thermal imaging tracker. Otherwise, the search could be very tiring. We can hike through the forest areas without getting anything in front of the shotgun. The rake is also quite shy. Before the car with which we can travel, he fled, for example.

    The atmosphere is very successful. The dark, foggy area often lets one imagine things in the distance, which are then only the shadow of a bush. If the tracker fails, it can only be a wandering fox. The soundscapes bear the feeling of loneliness.

    However, the game play itself is problematic. Apart from technical weaknesses apart from that the grass grows through the floor of the car or the same does not have a hand brake, so gladly times, when you get off. This could be overlooked. However, when things do not work, sensors are not placed. Or even if there is no shortcut to the items. We have our tracker in function, the rake is in front of us and we have to go first with the mouse wheel through flashlight, map, sensors ... until we finally hold a gun in hands. Meanwhile, the monster has long since killed us and the three-hour search was free.

    Too many weaknesses, too many technical problems prevent the good concept to be recommended.

    rating:

    3/10 graphic
    5/10 sound
    2/10 Playing mechanics

    Conclusion:
    Atmosphere alone is not enough.
