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.

A truly successful sequel to The Forest. Graphically, the game has seen a massive improvement, and I definitely enjoyed the gameplay as well. It’s even more fun when playing with friends. With around 40 hours of playtime, there is plenty to do here.

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.

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 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.
