Been playing Sons of the Forest. Visually stunning, this is good looking game. I like how it can be played as a shooter or an adventure or base building or combination of all three. The map is huge, backstory mysterious and the atmosphere is incredibly immersive, particularly in the caves which are creepy AF.
How does it compare with the original Forest? I liked that game, but after you explore all of the caves there's not much to do. Building is fun, but I think some stronger enemies were needed.
It's an improvement. The enemies continually increase in strength and number. More weapons and the map is bigger. I'm avoiding using the cheat maps for the most part and it feels like it would take a very long time to complete. I'm playing it on normal difficulty.
The game is still in beta for another month and building options are somewhat limited, which I assume will be expanded. If you liked the original, this one makes a lot of sense.
Great, thanks for the info. I'll give it a go at some point :)
