Description

An entirely new experience from the makers of the ‘The Forest’



Sent to find a missing billionaire on a remote island, you find yourself in a cannibal-infested hellscape. Craft, build, and struggle to survive, alone or with friends, in this terrifying new open-world survival horror simulator.

A Survival Horror Simulator


Experience complete freedom to tackle the world how you want. You decide what you do, where to go and how best to survive. There are no NPC's barking orders at you or giving you missions you don't want to do. You give the orders, you choose what happens next.

Fight Demons


Enter a world where nowhere is safe and fight against a range of mutated creatures, some who are almost human like, and others who are like nothing you have ever seen before. Armed with pistols, axes, stun batons and more, protect yourself and those you care for.

Build and Craft


Feel every interaction; Break sticks to make fires. Use an axe to cut out windows and floors. Build a small cabin, or a sea-side compound, the choice is yours.

Changing Seasons


Pluck fresh salmon directly from streams in spring and summer. Collect and store meat for the cold winter months. You're not alone on this island, so as winter rolls in and food and resources become scarce you won't be the only one looking for a meal.

Co-op Gameplay


Survive alone, or with friends. Share items and work together to build defenses. Bring back-up to explore above and below ground.

Great game to have fun with friends or by yourself, very massively Indepth with survival so you have to make sure that you're on top of your resources and got to make sure you have a shelter or else your doomed to fail, great visuals and something to keep your eyes peeled while you're waiting for other games to play, or just play the heck out of this one.

100% would recommend his game as the sequel from the The Forest, looking forward to going against more hostile cannibals and making the most outlandish bases.

For being just 1 and a half day old this Game is Dope. It is very good with the Graphics, gameplay and atmosphere. This game is wonderful for this Cheap price. Sadly there is some big fat guy with a Golden mask which is personally too OP. At least for me. I mean i shot him 3 or 4 times with the pistol and he just stood there UNFAZED. This bastard is unkillable without a Distance weapon like a Bow or something. These Monkey things are cool. I decapitated the first i saw with my first swing against an Enemy in this Game at the start. That was cool but i never saw blood pulsing in the forest. That was a shock moment after being happy of decapitated the first Enemy i saw xD

BUY IT

This game is what modern gamimg should be like and this is in early access.

I have over 2000h on the original the forest and as a veteran of the game I can say that this is an epic game worth buying. It has it all that the original had and more.

The building is more fun and better, the enemies are new and exciting, the AI is smart and knows of your presence. You can play the game like you want, the map is massive, every place on the map is detailed and worth exploring and so much more.

I can't tell you this enought this game is in early access and its amazing.

" Sons of the Forest" is a thrilling and immersive survival horror game that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. As the sequel to the popular game "The Forest," it takes everything that made the original great and amplifies it to new heights.

The game starts with a plane crash that leaves you stranded in a dense forest filled with dangers lurking around every corner. The graphics and sound design are outstanding, creating a truly immersive experience that will have you feeling like you're really there.

As you explore the forest, you'll encounter a wide range of enemies, from mutated creatures to mysterious cultists, each with its own unique strengths and weaknesses. The gameplay is challenging but fair, with a deep crafting system that lets you scavenge resources to build weapons and tools to help you survive.

One of the most impressive aspects of "Sons of the Forest" is its storytelling. The game slowly reveals the dark secrets of the forest and the cult that inhabits it, creating a sense of dread and intrigue that will keep you hooked until the very end. The characters are well-written, with believable motivations and realistic dialogue that adds to the game's overall immersion.
