Sons of the Forest does pretty much everything better than its already very successful predecessor The Forest: The game world is bigger and more beautiful, the enemies are more varied and act more flexibly, the crafting options have been massively expanded - all of which makes this survival horror game one of the best in its genre.
After this analysis of Sons of The Forest, we cannot do anything other than completely recommend this title to you. The story, survival and the feeling of being in constant danger make Sons of The Forest a must-have for lovers of survival and horror games, as it surpasses and improves everything seen in the previous title.
Sons of the Forest offers one of the most exciting, mysterious adventures of the year, perhaps thanks to the many challenges of surviving in the beautiful forest, the fact that you are regularly frustrated by technical limitations, the minimal narrative and the high difficulty level . Since it is also a lot of fun to play with friends and the survival aspect apart from the story missions is also entertaining, Sons of the Forest really offers you tons of janky fun.

Se marco un Cyberpunk pero en su versión 1.0 esta re pulido. Las mecánicas están muy buenas, es muy disfrutable con amigos, la historia es medio porro y verga pero esta bueno encajar las piezas, la exploración también me pareció muy buena, y los caníbales son turbios así que cumplen. Pero lo mejor son los compañeros Kelvin y Virginia, en especial Kelvin. Es que te cagas de risa de lo mogólico que es, es bastante inútil y útil a la vez porque hay veces que posta te hace caso. Lo que me cague de risa con Kelvin no tiene sentido. Lastima los bugs pedorros y el final que es un **** de porro gigante pero el juego esta excelente la verdad (suma puntitos una casa que hice con mi primo que le dio bastante vida al mundo que hicimos).

The game is too hard. The Forest was scary and discover, curiosity. This one is, you meet someone, you die.

Sons of the Forest es un título que, lamentablemente, se queda a medio gas y termina siendo una decepción. Lo único que realmente se defiende y destaca son sus gráficos, que logran una atmósfera de bosque muy realista y potente. Sin embargo, detrás de esa fachada no hay mucho más. La historia es, sencillamente, un desastre; no se entiende nada de lo que está pasando y culmina en un final que te deja igual o peor de confundido que al principio. Es un juego que parece no saber qué quiere contar, y eso lastra toda la **** más frustrante es que uno de sus mejores apartados, el sistema de construcción, está muy bien diseñado pero no sirve para absolutamente nada; no hay una motivación real para levantar una base sólida más allá de la estética. El mundo abierto y la exploración tienen su punto, pero se sienten simples y muy poco aprovechados, con un sistema de cuevas que se vuelve repetitivo rápidamente. A esto se le suma una banda sonora casi inexistente y unos compañeros de IA que no funcionan bien y terminan estorbando más que ayudando. Aunque el sistema de crafteo es decente y está bien implementado, no es suficiente para salvar un juego que se siente hueco y sin dirección. Por todo esto, es un juego que no recomendaría y que se queda con una nota muy baja para lo que se esperaba de él. Un 5 (o incluso menos si no fuera por lo visual, aprobado de milagro.).

Sons of the Forest is an incredibly unique, immersive, and terrifying horror survival game that pits you against the mutated inhabitants of an island far away from civilization. The story is incredibly interesting and forces you out of your comfort zone as you delve deep underground and brave the horrors of the island while seeking answers.

Great survival game with beautiful graphics, excellent crafting, and a tense, mysterious atmosphere. Sons of the Forest is also an accessible game that is not unfriendly to newcomers in the genre. Highly recommended.

Sons of the Forest is a great horror game and survival craft em up that balances a strong atmosphere and terrifying moments with player freedom. Whether you want to build a better tree house, or survive the story, there's something here for you.

Immersive survival horror in a lively island idyll, whose half-baked story presentation doesn't keep up with its other qualities.

Sons of the Forest can fumble with its narrative, but its survival crafting fundamentals and sandbox still warrant a look.

Unfortunately, Sons of the Forest doesn’t quite manage to bring all of its elements together in a tidy package. While the building, crafting, and survival elements are neat, they’re not intertwined with the story, with both feeling like they’re completely separate ideas. Even the story seems unsure of what it wants to be, with odd pacing and poor audio design. I feel that fans of the original Forest game will relish the experience on offer here, but for everyone else, there are far better survival games out there.

A good survival game, the crafting is realistic, the textures are amazing, the nature in this game feels more real than real life, the only problem is the building, which has become a bit too realistic.

My first survival game, and I gotta tell you, I had one of the best experiences, all because I had my friends throughout the entirety of my playthroug, I can tell you for a fact that I cannot see myself playing this alone, nor do I find any replayibility for myself, I do understand why people make different runs of it, but is just not my type of game. I loved building 3 house though, build system on the game is pretty amazing

was fun at the start but got boring very fast. this game was not for me,it was a bit left 4 dead vs 7 days to die with some decent graphics. It was fun for a few hours but got boring after +- 4 hours, so if u can grab it for 10$ sure go for it.
