Other than the ax you are given from the plane, you can also craft spears for fast attacks, bows for enemies far away, and even set your foes ablaze with a combination of your lighter and a can of hairspray. They vary from intelligent survivalists to frantic savages, to abhorrent monstrosities. The enemies in The Forest are tribal warriors that will demolish you if you’re not careful. You’ll immediately find this is easier said than done, as you encounter your first batch of other humans. Once you come to, you and your friends have free reign to navigate the island and do everything it takes to survive.
I have to admit, for as brief a cinematic as it was, the plane crash is a thrill and reminiscent of how Bioshock kicked off. The Forest starts off like the first episode of Lost, where you crash-land on an airplane in an uncharted setting with no technology. I used to cynically write off games like these as bait for streamers with little substance or replayability, but I’ve grown and look forward to experiencing them for myself now. I had heard plenty about the game when it was in its janky Early Access stage a few years back, so I had faith in the title now that it had its official release and time to be enhanced with further patches. While I go on a tear of survival games with my friends, my last purchase from the Steam Winter Sale was The Forest.
