Forest where the forest is poisonous.
The Forest is an open-world survival horror game not only impressed with the "poisonous forest" graphics but also the gameplay is also the attraction for players.
The Forest's story opens with a flight that the main character and son are passengers on. Unfortunately, an incident in the middle of the journey caused her to fall into a mysterious forest. In the hand of nothing but a small ax and survival guide book in the wild, the player must use the knowledge in it to survive.
What the protagonist does not know is that this forest is home to a cannibal tribe, and every player's actions are secretly overseen by this tribe, their purpose is just waiting for you " what a failure "to jump into tore you to make a meal for them only. Therefore, you need to urgently build a shelter, find food and water as well as other passengers, including the son of the protagonist.
The Forest is a pretty creepy game about the player's context and enemies. If you have been familiar with many other survival horror games, you may not avoid the initial shock when you experience the game, especially the idea of the cannibal tribe does not seem to have a title. any game ever exploited before.
Few survival games recently made me so much impressed with the graphics like The Forest. The game builds a fairly large and beautiful environment that you have no doubt about the challenges that will be faced. The lighting effects are beautiful, and the characters' role models are commendable. I am most impressed when in the afternoons the sun falls on the trees and you can see that the rays of sunlight shine through the gaps between the trees and onto the ground, very beautiful and overwhelming. Not to mention, the game's game engine is built very flexibly, allowing players to customize many different graphics settings quite flexibly depending on their machine configuration.
The Forest is actually not a new game and I have been following the game's development closely since the beginning. The game has been released Early Access for quite a long time about 4 years before entering the stage of completion and official release a few days ago. In terms of experience, the game is not completely different from other games of the same genre on the market, but is built quite well with an interesting combination of beautiful and impressive graphics, the context of "jungle "Holy Water" is also quite unique with the creepy cannibal tribe and the interesting crafting system and quite detailed instructions.
Right from the beginning of the game, you can clearly feel this thanks to the wild nature survival guidebook that players receive while on the plane. It plays a pretty important role in guiding you to know what to do, such as what items and materials you need to build a shelter, and what materials and quantity are needed. Therefore, it can be said that the game is quite friendly to new players and those who are not familiar with this genre before. A huge plus for the game!
Compared to other survival games I've experienced recently like Flame in the Flood or Rain World, the pace in The Forest is much slower. However, not so that the game offers an easier experience. The deciding factor for the horror of the game as you can also guess, is in the cannibal tribe whose mission is to hinder your ability to survive in the forest. Even their behavior sometimes surprised me because I didn't know which way to go. The feeling that they both resemble humans but also resemble wild animals, sometimes make you "bloody" because of that.
For example, there are times when you encounter you, they behave like "run away", making you surprised and do not understand the reason. But that was just one of the behavior of this cannibal tribe. In other cases, sometimes they just quietly follow you from a safe distance to find out where your accommodation is and to report to "accomplices". Many times even they rushed to attack you like a wild animal, and more and more aggressive if you refused to step back or fall.
This element of surprise has made me always in a state of tension, and sometimes even be confused about the reason for these attitudes. It differs not only between different tribes, but also between individuals within the same tribe or even depending on how the situation is faced at that time. It is this type of AI behavior that makes the player always beware of any strangers appearing around the area I often move to gather resources for survival, waiting for the rescue team to arrive. .
This factor has contributed to the difference between The Forest and the survival games of the same genre on the market. At the same time, it is also a factor that creates extreme tension in the player's experience, because you will never know when they will suddenly "turn around" into enemies in the blink of an eye. This is really the feeling of survival that a game needs to bring to players, and The Forest has done a great job. Not to mention, combined with the music melody makes you shiver and the graphics are great. Even the sound of the environment is also impressive, especially the changing pitch when you discover a group of tribal people living in the forest in front of you, making the player's survival truly immersive.
Besides, the crafting part is also too well designed thanks to the survival guide. Not only do you create the basic shelter, but you also have to gather resources in the game's unexpected environments to create more gear and complex traps, not to mention the needs. Basic protagonist's hunger and thirst. If you don't build these, there's a high chance you won't be able to fulfill the main goal of the game, which is to find other passengers and your son lost after this terrible plane crash.
At the end, The Forest is a perfect combination of audio-visual elements and engaging gameplay mechanics, creating an impressive horror survival experience. Even if you have gone through many games of this genre, the game still does very well with everything including extremely vivid environmental sound, making "adventure" really interesting and bold. survival experience. These are factors that are quite perfectly combined to create a stressful survival, with AI elements quite "multifaceted" and often causing many surprises for players. Not to mention that the game is very often "cared for" and updated by the developer, as well as having a multiplayer mode that is a huge plus point. If you love survival horror, this is a game that you cannot ignore!
