The Forest nails the mechanics for a survival game allowing us to explore and experience the main story at our own pace while we understand every mechanic each time we die. Unfortunately the story is quite forgettable and rather non sensical most of the time.

The Forest is a solid survival game with quite impressive graphics, great music that complements the experience, and two gameplay modes so that those that are looking for a more challenging game can go right into that, while those that want a more relaxed run that can allow them to explore every corner of the world without having to worry about dying from someone or something attacking you. The game is heavy on the crafting side, and with everything, there is to find and collect in the game, as well as the many objectives you can complete, you'll spend a while playing this one before you can add a new Platinum trophy to your collection.

The Forest is an innovative survival horror with a valid potential capable of frightening and entertaining for hours even if limited by excessive freedom of choice. If played in company it gives its best.
