Here is Sons Of The Forest, a great new horror game with a big open world and great horror music for Caves and combat. Also, it has outside Forest background music and sound effects for birds makes you feel more part of the horror experience inside. The game has a new building system that allows you to build any structure in any shape or size, while the first game called The Forest didn’t allow doing so. Both games do have traps, but I do hope developers will add more traps to the sequel. Sons of the Forest also has a ton of tools and useful items that can be used to help the player beat the game also has a good amount of melee weapons and guns that will help you defeat bosses and enemies in your path. Game developers are passionate about the game and often add new content. Thanks for reading my review.
Well, as you probably already know (and there’s a hint in the game’s title), it’s a survival game smack in the middle of a vast forest where you need to stay alive. In the first installment, we were a plane crash survivor on a quest to find his lost son. This time, we’re military folks who’ve also survived a crash.
After a few hours of playing, you’ll discover that the survival mechanics are unexpectedly player-friendly. No need to turn into a lumberjack chopping trees or desperately searching for food and water. Instead, it encourages cleverness and ingenuity, letting you focus on the more enjoyable parts of the game. Imagine constructing wild treehouses, engaging in skirmishes with cannibals, and making heart-pounding escapes from eerie, cave-dwelling monsters.
The game map is bigger than the first, with far more distinct geographical zones.
This sequel also steps up its game compared to its predecessor. The improved AI, which can surprisingly catch you off guard (expect some good old jump scares), sticks with you throughout your horrifying adventure if you’re not playing in co-op. After all, exploring a mutant-filled cave is less frightening when you’ve got company.
I’d recommend this game to horror survival enthusiasts. You’re in for a spine-tingling good time, especially if you play with friends. The more, the merrier, right?
Sons of the Forest is a great sequel to a gem of a game. It is still very much in early access but the devs are actively working on rolling out new content every few weeks. So far the game has been what I expected with tons of room to grow. If the devs keep on track with their current pace, they will have a finished product in a years time. Alot of new cannibals and new challenges await the player in Sons of the Forest, as well as some new tech that wasn’t available in the first game, making for some unique base building and strategies. With seasons being added to the game, we see the tricks of using water to your advantage fade during the winter with the cannibals at a distinct advantage in the winter months. Food becomes scarce for the player and the cold weather makes it difficult to make any real headway. This is ideal IMO. Winter should be a time to hunker down and wait it out so to speak. So far all in all the game exceeded my expectations. It’s in a lot better shape than I thought it would be. In the coming months, I’d like to update my review and rate it again.
The first few hours of playing the game are fun. The graphics are amazing, the howling of the cannibals is creepy, exploring to find items is fun. I have never played The Forest so I am coming into this game with a fresh unbiased viewpoint. Personally I feel it is a bit overrated as I have played other survival games that have more to offer in the same development state.
Then after the newness wears off the game is just okay as of right now in it’s state. The novelty of the forementioned just becomes background noise. Exploring and following the GPS is more chore like and takes away from actually needing to explore the island. All important items, follow GPS. The AI is not very good. Cannibals stand around as you loot their camp. Run long enough and you don’t even have to worry about fighting. The island is relatively barren with few cannibal camps.
The “survival” aspect is pretty forgiving. Food and Water is extremely easy to get. Eat something poisonous or rotten without any worry. You can gather so many items that respawn, that you become a walking hardware store. Building a base is not even really something you “need” to do unless you just want to. Going Nomad mode works just as well. Base building aspect is pretty good with a variety of “wood” options.
I feel that this game can go either way right now depending on how future updates go. It can become a really fun and challenging survival horror game or it can fall into the shadows of other run of the mill survival games.
