the forest is a game i'd call on the verge of greatness but not quite there

the forest is worth checking out and i'm sure that when it's finally finished and polished a little bit more it's going to be anything but a bumpy ride

overall the forest seems like it could be a really promising survival horror game the things that's impressed me the most are the detail of the environment the wildlife and the crafting it's still too early to tell if this game's really worth playing but if you're a fan of survival Horrors then this is definitely a game to keep your eye on
