It's a great game! One thing that gets frustrating is I get lost a lot of times. But that's just realistic. Story is good and the graphics are great. I played it last night and I couldn't stop playing it, it made me come to work late but it was worth it. I highly recommend this game.
This and the forest is games id like to complete in coop at some point
Speaking of it, are the natives as anoying in green hell as they are in Forest?
Curious about this as well, I'm more interested in the survival component than the "deflect the zombies" part
Might be fun in LAN, will report if I succeed in motivating the troops
I played the story on regular difficulty (Welcome to the Jungle), and natives attacked maybe 3-4 times, maximum 3 at a time and I have about 30 days survived under my belt. Plus they go down with a single arrow to the head and can be kept at bay and stunlocked with a spear.
But the best part is that you can just turn them off completely while keeping other things on. You can use custom difficulty with everything as hard as they can be, but still leaving the natives off.
It can be an incredibly good narrative if you take the time to read every note you find, piece together what's going on, what happened before, what's the real reason you're in the jungle, etc.
I spent 30 days in the first area, faffing about with my base, just general surviving. Then I decided to go for it, and ploughed through the rest of the story in about 4-5 hours. I guess if you turn down all the survival difficulty, know where things are on the map and rush through, it can be finished in about 6 hours total.
For the gamers who don't mind a bit of reading out there, it's good stuff.
Finally found some time to devour a collection of colorful fungi, catch all sorts of diseases, cook every single poor animal from the Amazonian rainforest whilst dodging them sneaky spiders and snakes, and eventually finish the single-player Story mode as well in ~25 virtual days.
As far as survival games based on pure exploration and crafting go, the game is indeed solid. It's more focused on micro-management than The Forest and on the regular difficulty, the first couple of hours offer a pretty steep learning curve, since as per tradition there is no handholding whatsoever (always a plus ) and it's up to the player to discover all the tricks to survive in the hostile environment. You'll die a lot, but if you persevere by paying attention to the uber-immersive sound effects and by treading lightly like a Tarzanator panther_edition, you'll find the gameplay mechanics both oddly predictable and satisfying.
The atmosphere is on the realistic side, which means that the nice oppressively creepy Mutant Cannibal Holocaust vibes aren't present (my favourite part in The Forest ), but the sense of tension is still there. The encounters with hostile natives and hungry big cats are actually quite sparse, giving them an unexpected and meaningful aura.
As for the writing, I definitely was not expecting it to shape up into:
Despite some usual Unityian shenanigans, the visuals are decent as well with lots of minutiae, very detailed vegetation and weather effects (rain, rain everywhere), and specific animations for all the assets. I would have liked the areas to offer more variety or secrets overall, though there's a thematic reason for that as the thick jungle is always the protagonist. I'd give it 7 coconuts and a half/10, definitely a good entry in the genre and rather surprising too in terms of polish and narrative.
