Sons Of The Forest

uilt my first base and it’s fun, but with only the book we have, there aren’t enough base items or variety. They could add more detailed crafting options and decorations to make bases more unique.

I seldom leave reviews for games, let alone negative ones but I just had to for this game. The worst part is until I actually finished the game my thoughts on this game were only positive. My thoughts come from the run that I did with two friends that lasted 30+ hours & 5-6+ solo time. We finished the game last night and I've never seen the mood switch so fast for a game. Firstly the story made less and less sense the more we progressed through the game. Seeing weird little ghost dudes flying about in some alien world just shattered any immersion. The final nail in the coffin was being teleported to the surface and fighting the big toe man. The impression we got was that the ending was rushed. Looking back the lack of direction the game gives you is awful. I was reluctant to use the online map but in the end it was a necessity. None of us had the time to aimlessly wander the huge island to stumble across what we needed to progress. Unlike the first game, there weren't any times that...

I went into Sons of the Forest thinking it was a survival game. Turns out it’s also a horror game, a comedy, and an exercise in bad decision-making. The first hour? Chopping trees, building a little camp, befriending Kelvin (best AI buddy ever). The second hour? Realizing Kelvin cut down the tree holding up my house. The rest of my time? Wandering through creepy caves, screaming at every noise, and accidentally eating something poisonous. The game is gorgeous. The forest feels alive, the lighting is stunning, and every sound makes you paranoid. The crafting is deep, the survival mechanics are engaging, and the mutants… well, let’s just say they don’t respect personal space. After 6 hours, my conclusion is: It’s beautiful, it’s terrifying, and I will 100% die here again.

I rotted on Sons last night for 4 hours for the first time alone. I played a few hours with a friend last week with no prior knowledge and it was hilarious.. but let me say I AM OBSESSED. Kelvin and I be tearing it up!! Survival is one of my favorite genres of games and I can honestly say this really makes you feel like you just out there but you're given enough tools to start to get it all going. Im excited to play more tonight cause I wanna make more stuff and camp out fighting cannibals lmao

This game is honestly pretty bland compared to the original, and most of the cool new 'features' people talk about with the building are actually just more ways to make it needlessly grindy. It's not a bad game by any means, but I really find it hard to recommend, so I won't. Make no mistake, if you play with friends you'll probably have a decent time, but for fuck sake don't play it alone. Literally nothing about the game is made for it, and thanks to the combat somehow being even worse than the first game's, there's little you'll actually enjoy from the solo experience.

10/10 – Survived the forest… barely. Would get terrorized by mutant cannibals again. Sons of the Forest is like that one camping trip you never signed up for—except instead of marshmallows and s’mores, you get bloodthirsty mutants, creepy underground lairs, and a constant existential crisis about why you ever thought leaving civilization was a good idea. This game takes survival horror and cranks it up to eleven, then throws you into a nightmare where every rustle in the bushes makes you question your life choices. Pro tip: don’t trust anything that smiles. Seriously. Not even the trees. The crafting system is so deep, I spent more time building traps than running from freaky forest dwellers. The AI is so smart it’s basically a nature documentary directed by Stephen King. I’ve screamed more times here than at every horror movie combined—and I love it. If you like your horror with a side of “holy crap, run!”, some surprisingly heartfelt moments, and the thrill of...

Sons of The Forest improves on graphics, animations, story, and more, but fails with the core game mechanics compared to The Forest. Building is needlessly obtuse compared to the first game and lackluster UI/UX that permeates throughout all the game's mechanics, especially in the crafting menu, turning what should've been simple things, like in the first game, into figuring out how the UI works. My biggest gripe with Sons of The Forest is the cave system. In the first game, you would often want to explore caves and be amazed by where you ended up both within the cave system and the overworld map, but Sons of The Forest fails in this regard. Caves are all separate linear paths to objectives rather than the sprawling, connected cave systems seen in the first game. You as the player do not want to explore the caves in this game; you want to find objectives. If you played the first game and want to play more of a similar game with friends, it's a decent buy on discount, otherwise consid...

Gameplay is a 6/10 but the story and voice acting are 1/10 and average the game out to a 3/10. dont play this game felt like I wasted my time.

The first and second generations of Forest are both fun and innovative
