This is a genre defining game that is an absolute must have if you even remotely like survival games. Amazing presentation, solid gameplay, and enough content to keep you going for awhile, this is a game that I would recommend at its full price of 20 dollars.

A smart port of a PC cult favourite, The Forest on PS4 is simply one of the best survival experiences you will find on a console.

The Forest was an experience that took me some getting used to because I'm not used to non-linear games. However, once you realise that you can do whatever you want, you eventually grow to enjoy it. It did take me a few hours to appreciate what the game has to offer, but once I figured out what I was doing, I understood the hype behind the game a little bit more. Trophy hunters beware, this game will be a VERY difficult game to achieve the coveted Plat!

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 offers us an interesting experience of survival with dyes of terror, in which all its mechanics are balanced. Without too many ornaments or tediousness; direct, functional and effective. In addition, the PlayStation 4 adaptation has arrived with a great finish. If you like exploration and especially challenges, the Endnight Games title is made for you.

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.
