I pirated this game a little while ago, when it was still in early access.

Enjoyed it so much that I bought two copies, one for myself and one for a friend.

Really good if you're looking for around ten hours of entertainment.

This game just ticks all of the boxes for me.

Games like Outlast force you to experience all the jumpscares. This goes for most games that belong to the horror genre. The Forest, however, is different. You can go the whole game without encountering any of the mutants and cannibals if you play your cards right. It's only when you let your guard down that you get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over. Nothing makes you ♥♥♥♥ your pants quite like seeing the silhouette of a hunting party sprinting across a hill in the distance. I've woken up some mornings and really don't want to leave the safety of my tree house. No other game has given me that gut-wrenching feeling as to date. I feel as if i'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ playing Minecraft PvP all of again; holding down "sneak" for dear life and as not to get spotted. The AI in this game is fantastic. The cannibals will leave you alone for the first few days, watching your every move. As the game progresses they get more and more ballsy. The AI will test you to see how you respond. If you act fearful and run away they will see you as prey and you'll end up with more raiding parties visiting you. However, If you act aggresive then they will retreat only to return with an army that, no matter how powerful you are, you just wont be able to match. Staying neutral with the tribesmen requires maintaining eye contact, holding your ground and showing your strength. Gaining respect from the natives is crucial to your survival. I do have to poke some fun at the audio though. Whilst the atmospheric sounds are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on point, certain noises are just all over the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ place. For example, when fighting a single cannibal it can sound like there are 3 more behind you when in reality there's not. Beating a native to a pulp is incredibly disorientating when screams from the same cannibal move from your left ear to your right ear even though the tribesman hasn't moved. Certain water sounds are also unbearably loud when compared to other ambient effects. Obviously the game is still in alpha and these issues will surely be resolved, but the game already feels incredibly polished already; I've yet to experience any sort of game-breaking bug.

I've not played a game that made me giddy inside for quite a while. Therefor I highly reccomend "The Forest"

Great uninstall simulator. 10/10 Would uninstall again

The developers seriously need to address the insane learning curve that haunts this game. I understand that they are aware of this and are taking measures to combat the situation but more still needs to be done. The game seems like a complete cluster-f**k of huge buttons being thrown in your face right from the start. The UI is clunky and half of your screen is taken up by the GUI when in-game. Even with all of the "helpful" tutorials that come with the game it is still hard to grasp the basics. I appreciate that it is in early access but it is still not worthy of the £14.99 price tag. I do enjoy complex games that take a while to master but "From The Depths" takes a while just to navigate the menu and controls. The game has a huge potential and i love the concept. Hence the reason that i decided to pick it up. I just hope that the developers can continue to improve their game. Overall i do not recommend the game at the moment and this negative review will remain until the developers do more to address the situation.

Yea, it's ok.
