this game i think was a mess in a lot of ways, but it is good to play with a friend you don't talk to that often. the ending had us howling at how fucking stupid it was. who was that guy? who was the other guy? why is kelvin here, he looks so good in his pink pajamas. why are they fighting? who is this guy's dad?

it was pretty unfortunate too that after the first couple of hours, there was little tension on the game. base building was almost entirely unnecessary, with nothing in the world threating your movement, travel was little but a time suck. the emergent gameplay aspects of a game you'd want to see from a survival game with a lot of systems are almost nonexistent. at no point did it drive home the fantasy of "having to survive in a hostile world". but whatever, thats ok.

That guy's dad is the protagonist of Forest 1 and has written a book about it that you should have picked up in the game. And the son is also from the first game and has also written a book. This is how the story is partially told in this game. You need to look around. The story is hard to put together without knowing part 1 and looking into all details. There are some youtube videos you can watch, if you are really interested. Part 3 will come for sure I guess.
