This game is so realistic that even the girls are running from me just like in real life :D

Fun survival horror game. The crafting system is simple but unique from other games, The exploration is great, wandering around the map finding new structures, items and caves is very fun and even tense because you never know when the weird, creepy cannibals are going to show up. Another point that i loved about it is the fact that new cannibals start spawning the more nights you survive, making the game harder and less repetitive. The npc's in this game are what really make it scary and immersive. They’re smart, they’ll sneak up on you out of nowhere, Nighttime is very eerie and makes you feel on edge the whole time. The story’s not super easy to figure out, But the real fun is in the survival and building. I 100% recommend this game if you're into horror survival games.

For me, this is the best survival-horror game. There`s the playground when you can do whatever you want. Poison yourself with random plants and berries? Go on. Build the goddamn Big Ben? You surely can. Hunt cannibals and mutants to become the Doom Slayer on this island? As you wish. Set up traps for your dear friends? You got this, but i got no friends to play the Forest with, so i terrorize cannibals families. Horror aspect in this game is really impressive. I`d never forget my pure fear when you have to run through the whole forest filled with half-naked wild dudes in the middle of the night. But there`s something more scarier - caves. This game made me realize that i have speluncaphobia. It`s dark, wet, there`s bunch of creatures, human remains and unsolved mystery about this island. By the way, i recommend to find the rebreather at first, because some of places in the caves are submerged and if you jump into the water without the rebreather - you will die, suffocating in the darkness. The rebreather gives you air with air tanks and also gives you the internal flashlight. But despite all horror stuff, if you play the Forest with friends - it will be the pure comedy. I haven`t experience in the multiplayer, but i`ve watched Markiplier`s video of playing this game. In other words, you will suffer, but with joy and most often not your joy. So, about my experience - i played more than 100 hours. What i was doing? Spent days sitting in the base becuase i was so scared of exploring the caves. After fight with my own demons, i start to explore them. After that, i never was the same, i went wild. I`ve decided that i need all achievements, all side tasks, ALL in this game. And i still didn`t complete all of this. After finishing the game, after 150 days in the game (not real days, like "day" in the game`s time) i got interested in the lore of game and this is awesome, didn`t expect so much details. I highly recommend the Forest to play it just once and feel the beautiful and terrifying atmosphere of this game. Don`t forget to invite friends and set up the trap in front of the plane. This is the important ritual.

chugged some booze, smacked a turtle with an axe, carried around some logs I found in a nearby forest then I came home and figured I'd finally try the forest after all these years
