The Forest is a survival horror game about enduring onslaughts of mutants and cannibals while trying to maintain your wavering sanity. Seems like a lot of the recent reviews involve sanity.

  • “What’s the point of [self-hurting fire rock]?” Easy: for nonverbally telling the natives that you are a level of crazy that they are absolutely unprepared to deal with.

    This game is scary until one gets 8 homies and starts a bone cult.

    10:57 The fact that cannibal actually looked at the bomb then back at you as if "What the hell?" before exploding is genuine comedy gold.
  • I played this game with a friend who played it in VR. They didn't have a microphone so they could only communicate in gestures. However, they could swing the axe as fast as they could swing their arms, so it was sort of like playing with a mute Hercules that would fell entire swathes of woodland in minutes and then come running back to camp with about ten of the locals chasing them.

    "what a trial over a minor thing. I need to stop thinking of smash Bros." Holy fuck it took a few watches to catch that

    A nice detail is all the sharks on the beaches - sharks have electroreceptive organs in their snouts that they use for navigation so if an EMP goes off it could cause them to beach themselves.

    6:42 clarifying what Mandalore means: booze doesn't actually warm your body; alcohol relaxes your capillaries so more blood flows to your skin, so you feel warmer. But what's happening is that you're losing heat faster.

  • I played this with a friend of mine, he went the good path, armor from animal skins, sticking with found weapons. I on the other hand immediately went into wearing monster hide, eating people and using a skull on a stick. My goal was to run the entire thing with 0% sanity, we eventually role played it as he was a figment of my imagination that manifested after my brain snapped. Good times.

    I remember my first time playing, I set up my base at the beach right in front of the plane crash site. A couple of days in, I look at one of the cliffs and I see a small group of cannibals just watching me from afar. That's when I realized how great/scary the AI was. I could have never looked up at that specific cliff and saw them, but they would have seen me. Makes me think how many times I haven't seen them.
  • @Accursed_Farms
    Thanks for voting for me to be stranded on an island hunted by cannibals.

    Days survived: 35 Currently feeling: GOOD Sanity: 2% Can't ask for a more accurate picture.

    "they know if the singing stops, the pulses do too" sseth got to the surface I see
  • @willowism
    Funnily enough this is one of those games that becomes a comedy in VR, ESPECIALLY in multiplayer. The main reason for this is that damage... Isn't based on momentum. Which means you can just wibble your way through cannibals having a big laugh.

    Was not expecting the Berserk 97 soundtrack, but it was a nice surprise.

    "The Forest": Pretty OK game, early access forever "Return 2 The Forest": Great game, Alpha version forever "Can't see the forest for the 3s": Fantastic game, pre-Alpha forever "The 4est": Best game of all times, basically just a storyboard
