The Forest: game review

Sandbox games have become fashionable for a relatively long time and have not bothered anyone yet. It all began with the "Meincraft", which offered gamers full freedom of action, a fully interactive game world, an abundance of opportunities and the complete absence of any specific goals, except one - to survive. This genre, called sandbox (or "sandbox" in Russian) has become incredibly popular, and until today, more and more new games are being released that give you the opportunity to be in a vast world where there are no restrictions and you do not set any goals , Do not give you quests and quests. You are free to do whatever you want. One of the last games of this kind was the project The Forest, the review of which you will now read. Unlike the same "Meincraft", this game is made in a bright, realistic three-dimensional style. Naturally, you have a lot of crafting, and even more - to fight for your own survival. This is the essence of the project The Forest. The review of the game may well interest you and arouse in you the desire to try this game, even if before you were not addicted to projects in the genre of sandbox.

Introduction

If we talk about the project The Forest, the review should start with the fact that the game was released just recently - it was launched in March 2014, but then it was in the status of early access, that is, people could buy the game and get the opportunity to test it and report it About bugs, to share their wishes and complain, while the developers are still in the final stages of development. But even then the project received incredibly high marks and positive feedback - since the launch of the test version, the game has gathered millions of fans around the world. And if you ask now which of the horror is the most original, unusual and impressive, then most people will answer - The Forest. The review will describe in more detail the advantages and features of this game.

The plot of the game

Overview of the game The Forest should start with the story, although it is difficult to call it. As you understand, sandbox games rarely have a pronounced storyline, so, most likely, it can be called a background, a description of what happened before the start of the game process. You are a passenger of an airplane that crashes and falls in an unknown forest, which is miles away from civilization for many kilometers. Only a few survive, among whom, naturally, you are present. It quickly becomes clear that there is no point in waiting for salvation, so you start collecting everything that will help you survive. After a while there is also a terrible discovery - you are not alone in the forest. It is inhabited by cannibal mutants, who have so far set about eating dead passengers, but soon the stock will be exhausted and hunting for the survivors will begin. It is at this moment that the most interesting begins - and also the most terrible. However, this is not all that you can tell about the review of the game The Forest.

Game process

Many gamers are beginning to ask questions about the game process of this project, some even manage to mix this game with another one, called Ori and the blind forest. The review concerns exclusively the project The Forest, where the gameplay is a survail-horror. You play as a survivor in a plane crash and get control over him immediately after he comes to himself on the crash site. You immediately need to start taking care of your future - to gather various supplies, to look for various useful objects, such as food and water, medicines and much more. You need to build a shelter where you can feel safe, look for ways to protect against cannibals (for example, dirt perfectly blocks your smell, which they look for you). But do not think that you will always be able to hide, so do not forget about the weapon that you can use against attackers in case of danger. And never confuse this horrendous nightmare with the calm and measured gameplay of the project Ori and the blind forest. The review, of course, does not end there - even more interesting details await you.

Opponents

In the forest you will meet various enemies who will threaten your life. Naturally, the main threat comes from cannibal-mutants, who are waiting for any unusual smell or sound, to immediately rush and pounce on you. They usually move in groups - in the same way they attack. By vitality, they are equal to you, in fact, as well as in strength, but they can not strengthen themselves with weapons, but you can. Therefore, use any advantages, and also remember that the most important thing is to eliminate the leader of the group, then all other cannibals will step back and leave you alone. However, apart from them there are also more terrible monsters - mutated octopuses and spiders. You can kill octopuses with different explosives, but you can not cope with the spider, so here you need to concentrate on getting away and hiding from it. It is not difficult to do this, but if you delay, you will be instantly eaten. Also on the island there are a lot of different animals that are a little threat to you, but if you are well armed, then everything turns in reverse, and you can hunt these animals to get meat for frying, although this possibility was not yet in one of the first versions The Forest 0.22. The review also deals with the final version, so meat is already available - like all other food products.

Food

The forest is rich in a variety of food products, the most useful and nutritious among which is meat. However, it must be fried, which attracts the attention of monsters. Therefore, you can focus on berries and mushrooms, which can also be found abundantly - they are good for restoring health and satisfying hunger, but among them there may be a poisonous berry or an inedible mushroom that will take away a lot of health from you. Also, do not forget to go to the plane, because there you can find a large number of different edible supplies, such as sodas or energy bars. This was also added only after one of the first versions of The Forest 0.21. The review on this comes to an end - it remains only to say a few words about the weapon.

Armament

There are not so many weapons in the game: explosives that you can make yourself, a pistol with signal flares, a Molotov cocktail, and several types of axes. Naturally, you can also use various improvised items, such as stones or body parts of the opponent, to fight off attacks if you do not have a serious weapon with you.
