‣ Final notes: If I had to quickly sum up Among Trees, I would say that this game is a bland, generic, one-dimensional boring experience. Sure, the trailer makes it look interesting and many like me might get drawn in because of the art style and visuals, but that is the only decent thing about this mess. Nothing in this game is interesting or unique. At first, I thought building your cabin is going to be deep and fun, however you just find the required materials and with a click of a button instantly build additional rooms. There is just nothing here that is worth your time. Among Trees is just a simple generic survival game. The environment barely changes, resource gathering is very repetitive and there is zero tutorials or guidance given in the game. Also, the movement is very bad, lakes are somehow instantly very deep, and you can barely climb out of them before freezing to death. Speaking more about death I felt like it was too punishing, hell more punishing than Dark Souls. Once you die you cannot retrieve your equipment you simply have to lose all the progress and start over from where you saved. This is a big problem because bears one shot you and you cannot outrun them. Anyways the moment you start the game you are simply dropped in this lush world in front of your cabin and basically left to fend for yourself. There is no explanation where you can find useful loot, resources or what your objective is. Nothing! No story, no tutorials jack fucking shit. Alas for the time being Among Trees is a very bare bones experience with nothing unique to offer I would even dare say it is not worth 10 bucks. There are way better and worth every cent survival games out there ignore this dumpster fire.
