Sons Of The Forest

Sons of the Forest is the second installment of the popular survival horror series, launched in 2018. The production was developed by the authors of the original, the Endnight Games studio.

The plot

In Sons of the Forest we play the role of a castaway, whose journey aboard a helicopter ended in disaster in the middle of a boundless forest. Our task is to find our missing comrades and discover a way to escape from this place. However, this will not be easy, as the area is overrun by mutated creatures.

Mechanics

In Sons of the Forest we observe the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). The production puts at our disposal an open world, which we can freely roam. In addition to a dense forest, a river with picturesque waterfalls or a vast beach, there are caves bathed in darkness waiting to be plundered by the brave. As staying here is not an idyll, survival aspects and an extensive crafting system play an important role.

Wanting to get food, we must first collect wood, from which we will then make a makeshift weapon. Besides, the raw material, which we have in abundance around us, is used to build a real base camp (we are talking about a multi-story structure surrounded by a palisade; the tarp stretched on poles can only initially serve as a roof over our heads). As for weapons - a simple spear or even a knife will be enough to kill non-aggressive animals (such as turtles), but to defend ourselves against mutants, not to mention venturing deep into their territories, we need murderous tools of a much larger caliber. We're talking, first of all, about the firearms that come into our hands over time. Even with a stun gun or a powerful gifle, however, you need to be on guard, as mutants rarely attack alone. As if that weren't enough, in addition to serial individuals, more twisted and increasingly powerful creatures quickly begin to stand in our way, which are much more challenging to defeat.

Game modes

Sons of the Forest can be played solo or in cooperative mode.

Technical issues

Sons of the Forest boasts high-quality visuals. In particular, the richly detailed environment densely covered with vegetation can be liked, as well as the varied, realistically animated enemies.
