The Forest Video Game Series

In games under the banner of The Forest we play the role of a survivor who managed to survive a plane crash. After waking up in the middle of the title forest, we quickly learn that the area is overrun by a tribe of cannibals and mutated creatures. From now on, our main goal is not only to fight for survival, but also to unravel the mystery of the place.

In the productions of the series The Forest We watch the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). The games put at our disposal open worlds, which we can freely roam. While playing, we have to take care of our character's needs, first of all, providing him with food. In addition, an important role is played by the crafting system; the collected raw materials (led by wood, which we have here in abundance), are used not only to erect (and expand) our base camp, but also to create various traps and more or less makeshift weapons (from a sharpened stick to a bow). Over time, more effective tools of murder, led by firearms, come into our hands. All this is important because the forest is teeming with threats - on our way there are aggressive animals, as well as the aforementioned cannibals or bloodthirsty mutated creatures, which not only attack us deep in the forest, but can also storm our hideout.

Admittedly, games under the banner of The Forest allow you to play alone, but they spread their wings in cooperative mode. In addition, the second part of the series introduced Kelvin - an AI-controlled character, which was intended to help us, supporting us in gathering resources and building structures or warning us of dangers. In practice, when the game Sons of the Forest went into Early Access, it turned out that Kelvin's behavior was rife with errors. Although his actions often hindered the game (Kelvin could, for example, cut down a tree on which a shelter was being built), he immediately gained the sympathy of players.
