So far... interesting concept. The materials are immensly hard to control, and milling lumber is incredibly tedious, and often/usually results in lumber missing sides. Needs copious amounts of new tools and equipment to make it reach its full potential. The price point is on par with the amount of content, i really wish this was early access and had more hope for future upgrades. My overall consensus is: Its like minecraft where everything you love rockets out of your hands and no way to save what you build, and there is 1 kind of tree you can harvest. and no digging. Pros: New angle on gameplay Cons: Handling materials, falling trees have no sound, no crash. that should really wake you up when a 200 foot tree falls. really needs work on sound. Nice effort, needs work before recommending.

I was pretty sad to give this a thumbs down. It looked promising. As the previous reviewer said, the sound is kind of bland and the materials are extremely volatile. I like the concept but it could really use some work. Also, I don't know if it was supposed to end so abruptly, but the tutorial never had anything saying what to do next after it told me how to holster items. It simply stopped talking and I just went along and played around for about 30 minutes then got bored. tl/dr: Concept and design are cool, really boring in reality. Could use work but not completely shit game.
gets boring quickly
It's a small game, but it has a lot of charm, and it's fun to get lost in for a while. The interaction with the tools and the environment is well thought out and feels comfortable. The art style and music are really atmospheric. Basically, just a really nice setting for goofing off and having fun screwing with the physics engine.
Very enjoyable forest destruction simulator.
This was my first experience with VR gaming, and after about 2 minutes with the headet on, it all made sense. I'm not a gamer by most standards, and this experience captivated me. The creative, no-rules aspect of the game, the environment, the pace, it's almost meditative. It's a really cool space to explore, and I think I'm hooked. I didn't want to stop. It feels limitless. Awesome game, awesome experience.
Got a chance to play this game last night. The world was incredibly beautiful and really well made. Walking around you really get the full experience. I tried running through the woods by teleporting quickly and didnt experience any lag of any kind. The trees are tall and it actually looks like you are cutting them down. I can't wait to play again. The only criticism I have is the trees are hallow and not solid. Other everything was great and you should pick it up.
You can and will get get absorbed in the world of Forestry! Hack 'n Slash VR MODE!
Honestly - THIS is what VR is all about! Pure fun, I love being able to explore the environment and chop everything up to holy hell! I feel like Raiden from MGS, but not nearly as emo. Can't wait to see what the new update includes - I'm booking time off this weekend to explore some more!
This is one of my first virtual reality experiences. I liked wielding the golden axe and strolling through the woods.
