The Forest 2018

Is it still worth playing?

After a plane crash in a forest, Eric LeBlanc has to stay alive and find his son Timmy, who was carried off, in a 2018 survival horror game for Windows. There are no set missions. You gather resources, build shelters, walls and traps, and craft weapons, then hunt by day and defend your camp at night, alone or in a group of up to eight. The forest is home to a tribe of cannibals who do not simply attack on sight. They watch from a distance, circle your camp, leave effigies and drag their wounded away. The harder you go after them, the harder they come for your camp, and left alone they may stay calmer for days. Caves beneath the forest hold stranger mutants and lead to an optional end to Eric's search, or you can keep surviving as long as you like. Enemies that react to how you treat them, on ground with no set path, still keep every night uncertain today.
