    This game is Insane, is just the 0.01 alpha version, and looks amazing. Yeah it IS buggy, but c'mon, the game is in ALPHA, when people will understand that Alpha = Bug/glitch. The game is being developed by 4 people, so, if you are looking for an AAA game, go somewhere else

    At the moment this game is only in Alpha, but what it has is absolutely incredible! This is definitely an 8/10, but it will be greatly improved in its upcoming updates, so Im gonna give this a 10/10. If it came out on XBLA, I would gladly pay $30 for it. PLAY THIS GAME!

    The Forest may seem tedious and boring at a first glance but the game itself has so many possibilities and open ended storytelling that it makes it one of the most original wilderness survival games ever made!!!

    The forest is one of the few games that I anticipated before the official release, and when I finally got my hands on it, I wasn't disappointed at all. I really enjoyed this game, and I appreciate the effort the small development team and artists put into it.

    Keep the good work guys (We just want more please!)

    This game blew my expectations completley!
    I thought it's just another survival game, that they couldn't have possibly improved it that much in 4 years. I was wrong. They've put so much love and thoughts into it, you can basically feel every bit of it.
    Some things are still clunky, sometimes i had fps problems in multiplayer although not in singleplayer (going from 60 to 20-30), but    This game blew my expectations completley!

    A great single player experience, with an atmosphere somehow reminescent of Half Life 2. There are several different ways to cope with the cannibals and great fun to find out what works and doesn't work.

    This is one of the best games I have ever played. It has action, story, horror (not the jump-scare horror), and an interesting moral decision that I will not spoil.

    You are a plane crash survivor that isn't an expert at surviving but you have a guide that you brought with you. As you explore the peninsula, you find cannibals, mutants, and other horrors that will keep you at the edge of    This is one of the best games I have ever played. It has action, story, horror (not the jump-scare horror), and an interesting moral decision that I will not spoil.

    You are a plane crash survivor that isn't an expert at surviving but you have a guide that you brought with you. As you explore the peninsula, you find cannibals, mutants, and other horrors that will keep you at the edge of your seat.

    Now lets talk survival. The mechanics are basic, but still cool and interesting. You only start with an ax and you can use it to chop down trees (and chop up bodies if you go that crazy) and you can use these logs that you got from the trees that you have chopped down. This can get grindy but I have made an elaborate zip line system to avoid this and you can youse bombs (and mutants if you are smart enough) to speed up this grind.

    Now let's talk A.I. and enemies. As you explore you will come across many horrors, these are mutants, cannibals, mutilated bodies, and cannibal camps. The cannibles have amazing A.I. to the point where they actually feel humans. Examples of this are when you kill a group of cannibals but one escapes, they will come back later with a lot more. You will also experience cannibal fights between different tribes of cannibals, you will want to get away if you see one. They are pretty basic when you are fighting them, you slash, shoot and light them on fire. But they have weapons too, they youse flaming golf balls, clubs, scull clubs, axes, sticks, and also there fists.

    Now let's get into the mutants. This is where the real meat on these bones are. there are three types of mutants. Virginias are women that are fused together which are fast and agile but easy to kill, armsys who are powerful in melee. They have tons of arms (obviously) and are strong and are the biggest threat to your base. And then there are cowmen. These are huge 400 mutants which are fast and dangerous, but not quiet. These will jump on top of you and knock you over. There is one other type of mutant that is kinda a spoiler so I won't talk about it.

    Now we are on the scariest part of the game. You are walking in the forest at night, hungry and scared. You can only see a small radius illuminated by your torch, you hear a scream in the distance. "I better get home." You think. You start to run, but you are not alone. Something is watching. This is a common scenario that you will find your self in. This is not a cheap jump-scare five nights at Freddy's game, this sparks something from your primal caveman mind. Being alone at night is horrifying. Especially because you are always being stalked even when you are at home.

    This game has caves. Lots of them. In fact, to finish the game, you have to explore them. You can find many effigies, mutilated bodies, gutted bodies, etc. You aren't safe down here either, there are still mutants and cannibals but these cannibals are different. They are 8-feet tall and pale. You will want to exercise caution well near them. The mutants are mostly the same, you will occasionally come across some of these but they are the same as the ones up above other than being a bit more powerful and pale. These caves also have loot. LOTS of loot. But most of the time it will be guarded by the mutants.

    Now let's talk craft. There are 26 different items to craft. That might not sound like a lot but it is a lot. You will have to hunt and forage for resources and hides to craft. You will even have to go to the snowy north to get some of these resources.

    This game has bugs, they aren't too bad but there is quite a bit. These often don't happen much but for most of these, you will have to be looking for them to find them. But for a small team, this has quite a bit of polish.

    Did I mention multiplayer? This is a fun experience, if you have friends THEY NEED TO GET THIS! i have spent many hours with my friends playing on hard survival. We have killed so many mutants and cannibals to the point where our house looks like something from Hellblade. There are still scary moments, they just arent as bad. There are still some pretty bad bugs but they often don't get in your way.

    Overall, this is an amazing game. If you have $20 and a decent computer this is a must buy.    … Expand

Сюжет хоть и запутанный но разгадывать его интересно. Боевка на 7/10 ведь тощий абориген выдерживает 7 ударов топором, а здоровый и взрослый мужик умирает от 4пощечин. Так же удтвили 2мя концовками. Обе вполне логичны (в первой гг сбивает самолет спасает сына и уплывает. Во второй он смиряется со смертью сына и остается на острове.) Рекомендю любителям выживания. Так же если имеется PS3 то советую брать именно на нее. 30FPS, 1080p, и ультра настройки если сравнитт с ПК.… Expand

    The Forest is an excellent game with a compelling story line and the gameplay to back the story up. The visuals are stunning, with the lighting being very well done.

The visuals are stunning, with the lighting being very well done. The attention to detail in this game is meticulous, such as the precise sound design, the animations, and some other completely random things that just enhance the experience such as the chance for a bird to fly onto your hand if you're standing outside. Most of the things and items found on the peninsula have some connection to the lore. The AI of the mutants in this game is where this game really shines, this isn't some AI pathfinding thing where it just constantly looks for you to kill you. You can remain friendly with the mutants, you can be hostile, the mutants respond to your actions accordingly. There are patrol lines of the mutants, there are multiple tribes and they clash. Now, the cave system is really the bread and butter of The Forest, and this is where it really gets interesting. By delving deep into the complex cave systems of The Forest, you will encounter new enemies, find new and better weapons and find items crucial to the lore. Without spoiling anything, I can say that this game exactly follows a linear circular narrative with the ending, the ending isn't cliche, and will probably surprise you (unless you've paid very good attention to the lore throughout the game). I personally find The Forest much more enjoyable with friends, however, the single-player experience is also excellent.

    All-in-all, if you're a fan of survival/horror games, there is no game I would recommend more than The Forest.    … Expand

    In many ways, the game is monotonous and buggy, and with prolonged gameplay it becomes simply boring. I am far from a hater of Forest, but it is necessary to understand that many games are not perfect, and especially this one. But it is worth noting the advantages of this fun and slightly (to put it mildly) scary game. First of all, I have not noticed such a fun gaming experience in games of this genre, how fun it is to build all kinds of American Roller Coasters and then cut them open on a turtle shell) And secondly, despite the bugs, there is a general good and unforgettable atmosphere...    … Expand

    Building is not always perfectly under control, but quite workable. Some minor bugs and no save point for the end (which was difficulty wise not needed and gave the final decision impact. But made for a very long final run).
    It has some useful mods you should look into.

I've also had them climb things and jump around. I made tons of Molotov cocktails to defend myself and ended up burning myself (and them) a lot. The crafting is balanced and not too difficult and I haven't found any real bugs except for falling through the floor in the room of death, lingering fires, enemies occasionally jumping up really high or sometimes teleporting near you (startled me so much I accidentally dropped a Molotov and hurt myself) and miscellaneous UI bugs, such as rocks being called "RAW FISH." The bugs are nothing (not only because they're not very severe, but also because the game is in very early alpha).

    After just 20 hours of gameplay, I think The Forest is one of my favorite games of all time. Absolutely beautiful for so many reasons. I hope this game will be constantly updated and developed even more. If you love survival games, true survival games, that's for you. On ultra it's stunning and really intense, great immersion.

    I'm playing the full and final release of the game. This is a very brutal and stressful survival-horror game. All the caves in this game are super-dark, and it makes "The Descent" movie look like daylight-mode. The very-subtle story is actually pretty good, but it doesn't shine until the very ending.

    Beautiful world with a vast sense of scale from the beginning. The inhabitants of the jungle are completely terrifying and will climb trees and hunt after you, leaving you in a cave surround by bodies. The crafting is interesting and well formed. Trees toppling is amazing to watch and I can't wait for more features, including CO-OP to be added to this alpha.

    You wake up and just try to survive in a forest infested with cannibals. It's challenging as you have to worry about your health/hunger/thirst, make a place to sleep in to save the game, also make sure you're safe from cannibals as they are hard to kill on your own and they can be in packs. Not sure if there is other objectives but it's extremely immersive. A unique experience, I highly recommend.

It's not minecraft but once you finish it you'll get that mode which is cool. Or the horde mode that's crazy. Because its not Ark it actually works and works well which means it's a scary horror story which has two endgames based on choices.

    The optimisation isn't great and there's a few glitches but nothing bad considering how much is going on.
    The music is none existent outside of musical tapes but the sound is terrifying ..truly scary.
    The gameplay is high mearning curve and finickity at times bur plenty of options.
    Lastability is months or years as every time you play its different with random starts and locations and new updates. No microtransactions at all.

    The combat isnt destiny but its brutal and fast with awesome weapons.
    Overall the attention to detail is spectacular with many stories told through the environment as much as the lore through collectibles.
    The multiplayer is a little buggy but amazing fun and an entirely different experience.
    So i'd say buy it as it's cheap and play it and dont give up.
    Use your second device as a game support tool as there are interactive map apps. And the wiki is cool though don't spoil many of the brilliant secrets and surprises.

    The Forest is a great game with a lot of polish for a survival game. The AI is phenomenal and it is extremely intense in single player. However, the multiplayer is far less intense, and there are some bugs still left in from early access. Overall though it is a fantastic game for the price and you should definitely give it a good shot. Not a game to pass up.

    • For an Indie Game, have a great and reallistic graphics (Have also options for optimization, if you have a bad computer you can still play it!). [Graphics: 9.3/10]

    • Artificial Intelligence (AI) are pretty good. [AI: 8.0]

    • Map with a good size, resources are well distributed on map, complex cave system with lots of thing to explore, abandoned campsites, etc. [Map and Resources: 9.8/10]

    • Good crafting and building system. [Crafting: 8.5/10]

    • Good gameplay. Hunger, health, thirst and stamida works well and are a little complex (like, you need to know which plants are edible or which plants are medicinal, soda makes the health of the character bad...) [Gameplay: 8.9/10]

    • Multiplayer // Co-op - Have a little problems, because still in beta, but still good. [MP/CO: 7.1/10]

    • Enemies - Have a good variation: Animals (sharks, crocodiles, boar...), cannibals (There are different tribes and different types) and mutants (Armsy, Virginia, Cowman, Babies and BOSS). [Enemies: 9.6/10]

    • "Chooses" - In the game you have several choices you can make. (Examples: You can play without enemies, you can survive without following the story, can select the difficulty...) [Variety: 9.9/10]

    • Good to spend hours playing! (Infinite gameplay time) [Gameplay time: 8.7/10]

    (There are more good things, but you can find them playing the game! Buy it, 100% recommended!)

    What can be seen as a difficult and buggy experience at first, quickly evolves into hours of game play and countless questions about the lore. The Forest is an immersive experience that slowly drags players into a sense of comfort only to take it away with new horrors unleashed. Easily one of the best survival/horror releases of this year with an intriguing story to boot.

The Canabals AI feels very fleshed out and the map is very good on the surface and inside the caves. The story is beond amazing and the final boss fight has so much backed to it to where you feel bad after killing her. Overall if you have not played this game PLAY IT NOW!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review was, at the time, using the Alpha build of the game. Much of what was written in this review is probably subject to change.

    -Concept and Atmosphere

    - The *concept* that this team of four developers has created is innovative and intriguing. The game really feels like an open world survival horror, something gamers have been missing for a long time. As I played the game, even its early stages, I felt like I was being hunted by the cannibals and hunting them at the same time. The game doesn't guide you, apart from the survival book presented to you, which I really liked; because that is partly what makes it a survival horror game.

    -Game-play
    While this game is still in Alpha build, the game-play is solid and, surprisingly fun. The crafting system and the survival mechanics are a welcome edition, and work well; fishing; cooking; and eating all feel and look realistic. The freedom that is given to you is overwhelming, yet, this didn't put me off; rather I liked it - The ability to build practically anything you could imagine using in a survival situation, coupled with the choice to build anywhere on the map is addictive. The AI is pretty solid for an Alpha build. Cannibals will observe you from a distance during the day, hunt in packs at night, communicate over long distances, and generally will scare the s**t out of you. Female cannibals will mourn dead husbands, and the males will become enraged when provoked.
    Exploration is key. While it is logical to try and hide for as long as possible, and build your camp well away from cannibal patrols, venturing out into the wild forest and discovering blood soaked campsites, underground caves, and cannibal villages is aesthetically and practically rewarding. For example, one might find some useful items that one wouldn't be able to find if they just hid in their beach encampment; like a flashlight or flare-gun.

    Graphics
    My gaming rig isn't the most powerful machine. I only have a GTX650, which is now out of date; but the game ran smoothly on a custom medium-high mix of settings. It looked breathtaking.

    -Negatives
    The game is full of them, which is to be expected.
    - No save game option, as of yet; which means if you die, you have to start all over again
    - missing textures
    - buggy AI
    - buggy animations
    - no established story (really) as of yet; so it's more like a sandbox playground at the moment. As the developers flesh out the story, add new features, I'm sure it will become more grounded in some sort of narrative (whatever form the developers are planning on utilizing).

    Overall, considering this is an Alpha build, and considering what the developers have so far achieved in terms of game-play, and what they plan to include in later versions, I give this game an 8/10    … Expand

My main gripe is the fact that there really isn't much of a back story to drive you through the game. Whether or not this will come once the game is officially launched; I suppose we all wait and see. That last phrase has seemed to be on repeat for me with this game..."we'll wait and see".. there are alot of elements to this game that could be added to..but...we'll wait and see.

    The Forest has been in "development" for a long time now. One thing that worries me is the fact that this game was picked up by consoles. Once that happened it seemed as though the devs stopped adding content to the PC version.

    Because of the solitude this game exudes; I would strongly recommend playing online with a friend! Connectivity has always been strong with minimal to no lag or frame rate issues.    … Expand

    The world is absolutely lush and beautiful, apart from the occasional low textures. The inhabitants of the island are not very friendly (and creepy as all hell) and that is made clear from the very beginning. The crafting system as well as the inventory system is top notch.
    Crafting shelters, traps and storage units takes a lot of work, as it should! You have to keep getting food or resources constantly at least in the beginning, they really captured the essence of survival.

Out of all the rational responses you would expect that potential blowjob to have, you know surviving a plane crash killing almost everyone only to be met by some random canniabls. He gets carried away in their arms, only to look back at me, smiling, and then gives me a little wink. That ungrateful **** left my ass stranded with nothing more than some sodas, snack bars, pieces of cloth and a random axe. Whoever got that pass TSA btw, kudos bro. It's been about a month and through the countless amounts of cannibals I've killed, still no sign of Timmy.

Sadly, the story line is quite short, leaving you to think and analyze beyond what The Forest has visually shown to you about the background of the characters and the vital importance of certain aspects to the plot, it wasn't enough which kept me and my friend pondering more -- yes, the same with any other story, there are plot holes.

    If you love survival games, you will obviously love this as well. The horrifying atmosphere added to your desperate need to survive before dark is a feeling worth playing for. Cannibals are scary, and not just that, from day 1 Cannibals become more aggressive with their appearance changing while the Cannibal patrols amount increases, adding that strong Cannibals or what we call "Mutants" start to spawn in the over-world and will come hunting you during the night and day. The Forest manages to keep you in your toes as Mutants and Cannibals are very silent during the day and night, before you know it, you check your back they ain't there, you check again, they are suddenly there.

I wish that there was an option where the map was randomly generated, and maybe a non story setting. Playing with friends was also a blast.

    Les points forts :
    + Un jeu de survie assez dense et complet. Construire son campement, chasser la faune locale, faire son feu de camps pour se protéger des indigènes la nuit, tout les ingrédients sont là pour se sentir Bear Grylls.
    + L'ambiance survival-horror du titre est vachement réussie, avec ses indigènes difformes et ultra agressifs, ses grottes lugubres, ses environnements parfois très glauque, le jeu réussir à présenter une ambiance finalement assez oppressante dans cette forêt sympathique aux premiers abords.
    + L'accessibilité et l'interface bien réussies, tout est facile à prendre en main, le système choisi pour l'inventaire est original et fonctionne, le livre de survie apporte une vraie facilité pour découvrir ce que le jeu propose, c'est bon à ce niveau là.
    + Les environnements sont assez variés, la carte bien que pas forcément la plus variée du monde propose suffisamment de points d'intérêts pour inciter constamment le joueur à l'exploration avec moult récompenses à la clé.
    + L'histoire, qui manquait à priori dans l'early access du jeu est aussi complète, avec sa progression, ses découvertes et même ses 2 fins !
    + Le jeu est entièrement jouable en coopération, et c'est super agréable pour un jeu de survie de cet acabit.

    Les points faibles :
    - Quelques bugs, plus ou moins gros, sont bien présents que ce soit dans la manière de poser ses constructions ou d'interagir avec l'environnement. On est passé 2 fois sous le sol de la carte durant notre aventure, nous forçant à redémarrer la partie sans avoir sauvegarder à chaque fois, et c'est assez frustrant parfois...
    - Les indigènes sont effectivement hyper teubés, leur IA peu réussie et les combats ne présentent que peu de challenge du début jusqu'à la toute fin.

    En conclusion, The Forest reste un jeu de survie hyper complet, à l'ambiance survival-horror qu'on ne voit vraiment pas tous les jours qui aura réussi à proposer une version complètement aboutie de ce qu'il voulait vendre en Early Access avec beaucoup de choses à explorer, construire et une histoire à compléter. C'est du bon, seul ou en coop !    … Expand

    There is also the exploration part which I found just super interesting, always wanting more loot made my mouth water, even visiting the caves with a dismal and heavy atmosphere was also a real pleasure .
    The enemies are also very creepy ... even if a little stupid sometimes.

    On the side of the history of the game I will say nothing, except that it is not this game that will shock your entire life as a gamer, be aware, but TheForest manages to stay. solid on its supports on that side (for independent play).

    Personally I will not be able to judge the solo part of the game because I finished it in co-op, it was a really interesting cooperative experience whether it was from the exploration of the caves to the housing nothing to say on that side even if some bugs still reside there at times even after the final game has been released (but nothing very worrying, don't worry), in short ...

    debo decirlo, the forest es un muy buen juego. mucho mas sabiendo que fue creado en un sistema como unity y por menos de una decena de personal.

    Primer apartado, jugabilidad : no hay mucho que decir, se juega como cualquier otro survival, te abasteces, creas objetos,consumes y repites el ciclo. con la diferencia que los enemigos lo cambian todo al hacerte sentir la presa o el cazador muchas veces. yo alguna vez me queje de la cantidad de canibales que solian llegar a mi base pero vas aprendiendo sus rutas diarias y ya sabes. en experiencia propia este juego es mucho mas entretenido con amigos.

    apartado ambiental: si bien durante los primeros anios el juego se veia mediocre graficamente con diversas actualizaciones lograron hacer que el juego se vean bastante bien logrados. realmente te hace sentir perdido

    apartado sonoro: debo decir que aqui es donde el juego brilla. en la noche al sentir los gritos de los enemigos te hacen sentir nervioso. ni hablar de los mutantes cuando los ves en medio del bosque. en cuestion de otros sonidos es decente.

    inteligencia artificial: aqui debo resaltar a los enemigos hostiles de nuevo, sinceramente no creia que sus comportamientos fueran tan avanzados mas alla de atacarte pero no, si haces ciertos gestos, atacas en cierto orden, llevas algo encima reaccionaran diferente.

    apartado argumental(spoilers): la historia esta buena, no es la mejor pero tiene toda la cosa sobre que en realidad los canibales son una tapadera para esconder los secretos de esta isla.

    en general solo tengo dos quejas con este juego.

    1) incluso despues de anios de desarrollo los bugs persisten, mi olla o troncos se multiplicaban aveces, no hay forma de sacar algunos objetos del agua etc. pero no encontre algun bug tan grande aun.

    2) las cuevas despues de ciertas veces no las visitas mas que para obtener los objetos unicos ya que estas totalmente reabastecido. eso me parece un desperdicio.

    en fin, despues de todo esto debo decir que el juego tiene este merecido 8 en puntaje. siguiente.    … Expand

    Pros:
    Decent graphics, especially for an indie game
    +Really good, customizable building mechanics +Just the right amount of survival mechanics, food is easy enough to stockpile but water can be harder to come by unless you keep finding soda. +No handholding or drawn out tutorials.

    +No handholding or drawn out tutorials. You can skip the intro cinematic on replays and get right into the action.
    +Pure gameplay, uninterrupted by cinematics, mandatory questlines, or forced gameplay.

    Cons:
    -Enemy AI is pretty great, but character combat is clunky. My character has frozen in combat despite having stamina and not getting hit.
    -Caves are cool, especially when using color filters like Texas or Modern for visibility. But other than finding clues and unique weapons, they all look the same and lack an artistic flair that would make them seem more lived in. It's basically the same dark craggy walls and mutilated corpses everywhere. The outside gameplay is vastly superior, but you find some neat gear in the caves.

    The forest took me around 30 hours to beat my first time, and I'm sure I didn't collect everything. Overall the game is very good, has some replayability and gives some great scares for the first 3 hours. It's got plenty to explore and doesn't overstay its welcome, but the option to continue playing after beating the game exists, and every tree can be cut down providing near infinite building possibilities. It's one of the best in the survival horror genre, here's to hoping Endnight can refine and improve the formula for Sons of the Forest.    … Expand

    Fun survival game best to do online since its a little unclear how to complete the game and being honest the ending is sort of like an easter egg its a fun game to play online to go explore and build massive fortresses.

    As mecânicas de sobrevivência são muito boas, o jogo é divertido, a história por mais que seja deixada de lado por um tempo é legal no final.

    One of my favourite game to play with my friends. I don't think I've ever beat the story but I sure do have a lot of fun running around with my buddies exploring caves and beating monsters with pipe bombs. It's a simple game. The story is a little convoluted, but I admit I'm not playing for the story.

    Estoy harto de los mundos abiertos pero la historia de este juego si me llamó la atención la verdad, aparte la intensidad que sientes cuando te encuentras a uno de estos fanáticos del Atlas es otro pedo.

    Forest is one of the most interesting survival games. At the time it came out, and even today, I still think it's the survival game with the best graphics! Good game, I would definitely recommend it! Just waiting for the second part of this game!

    First-off this game is buggy as hell. Don't buy this game if your looking for a nearly completed game. I got a LOT of bugs, including randomly dying, and no way to save my game. Items combine, duplicate, etc. Also, the game performs really badly atm. I'm running it on a GTX 760, and i get about 30 fps on the highest settings, while I get around 45 in Battlefield 4.

Items combine, duplicate, etc. Also, the game performs really badly atm. I'm running it on a GTX 760, and i get about 30 fps on the highest settings, while I get around 45 in Battlefield 4. If you have a low end PC, don't expect to run this game at high frame-rates. The combat is also pretty clunky. The flare gun shoots as fast as you can click with no reloading or cooldown, and infinite ammo.
    All of that being said, this game definitely has huge potential. The time the game wasn't completely bugging out, it was actually decently scary. And it looks like it probably has a good story behind it. The survival elements are pretty cool as well. It allows for custom buildings, which is always a plus side. The team seems like its very open to bug reports as well. Basically the point I'm trying to get across is, if you can get passed the incredibly low frame-rates, massive amount of bugs, and clunky combat, I can definitely recommend this game to you.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    There's a lot to think about when it comes to surviving in The Forest, but the balance between each of its interlocking parts keeps the game moving at a riveting pace.
