The Forest

perhaps a bit too basic for it's own good and the gameplay still feels pretty clunky - but the sound design, environments, spelunking, and narrative are all pretty strong and keep me coming back. play with a partner for the intended experience imo.

For every cool feature in this game, there are like five annoying ones. Spelunking is the best part of the game, but the clunky controls and combat, the sleep timer resetting whenever you load a save, your map resetting upon death (even after getting your backpack back) just makes this a frustrating game.

I'm playing co-op with a friend and hate how you can't just drop items for your friend. Have to take the time to combine them with a damn tray. This game could really use some QOL improvements.

Yes, it's the middle of the night but the sleep timer reset so guess we have to just chop trees down in the pitch dark. Very realistic.

b-b-b-b-boring

It's more of a raw survival game than anything. Of which there are dozens of better alternatives nowadays.

Surprised how I've never seen anyone talk about how much of its story this game lifts from the TV show Lost (2004)
