I was able to get my hands on the Alpha version on the new game “The Forest” via Steam. First of all the name itself is creepy unless you like camping and you’re used to all the mosquitoes and trees and owls in the middle of the night, and if you want to try going on a adventure in the forest soon then stop reading because this review will make you think twice.
The game starts off with you chilling in the Jet, with who appears to be your son, then suddenly this happens.

The plane classes for no good reason in the middle of the forest, i was starting to get that "Lost" vibe. As soon as I saw this I could all ready see the survivor part of the game.
So plane accident, everyone appears dead, your on the floor weak, what next you ask.... well this.

A dark figure comes out of nowhere, and as I said to myself "I cant see you homie come closer" I started to regret my words.
This humanoid creature drags me then think "nahhhh to heavy" and then decides to take my son instead.
So I gain full consciousness and wake up, now I start to look for food, drinks and anything I can use from rocks to an fire axe. As I wonder the forest I see many beautiful views that take away my breath and other than being stranded, having my son kidnapped and running low on food this is a pretty simple game. Look at this wonderful view.

Now i where you start dying, You get to fight one of those locals/zombies that took your son, and you will die the first few times and start from the beginning and by beginning i mean the very start, that means you will have to re watch the plane crash because it is unskippable and the plane crashes are at random so your next plane crash wont be on the same place on the map, but you get the hang of things and you will manage to survive and set up your first Camp fire. You will need a few materials to make a camp so head out to the forest get some sticks, cut some tree for wood and some stones.
Nice you have a camp... you cant live of that fire forever you know, you will need to get hunting to survive food is a must to survive in this game. Honestly hunting wouldn't be a peace of cake if these murderous tribes weren't all over the place, they will not let you go "I come in peace" is something they don't understand. The unique part is that you don't always die sometimes you find yourself in a cave and you need to crawl out. The natives your up against are hard unless they are going to add a multiplayer mode this game is hard. I hear they are going to add a new mode that lacks the natives and is just survivor mode.
This game in general is quite fun and i see the potentials it has with future modes. Its quite laggy and has a few bugs here and there but its still in its alpha mode so we will have to see what the final product brings us.
