    It's not the frightening, dark, and dour moments that make The Forest special - it's when you find something beautiful. A survival game where you gnaw on raw meat, build crude weapons to beat cannibalistic monsters to death, and get violently ill from drinking pond water, The For

    I always feel a little bad when I see developers watching speedruns. They spend years on these games, perfecting the environments, the pacing, the balance, and here we are sprinting through, trying to break everything, and beat all their work as quickly as possible. Developers fr

    The Forest sequel delayed until October

    nnounced back in 2019, Sons of the Forest is a sequel to the terrifying open world survival game The Forest, which is still my pick for the grossest and most discomforting tree punching sim out there. Studio Endnight Games still hasn't released many details on the sequel, though

    Sons of the Forest is a demon-hunting sequel to the 'terrifying' survival game The Forest

    The Forest is an open-world survival game released in 2018, after a whopping four years of Early Access. The wait was apparently worthwhile, because these days it's got an awful lot of positive reviews on Steam . And now it's getting a sequel too. It's hard to tell much from a si
