The Forest is a survival game and a mid one. The Forest is one, if not, the most famous survival game out there not counting minecraft. Then, why is it mid for me?

The gameplay as a whole is your typical survival game and it's alright, nothing innovative. It's fun if you have friends you can play with, since there are cannibals all over the island that scares you and your friends which is fun! Thought, playing this game in co-op can lessen the game's horror-ish vibe to it, so if you want to keep the survival horror feel of the game, play alone. Also, the combat in this game is shit. It feels slow and out of touch.

Furthermore, the graphics are pretty average, not ground breaking when it was released, but it was pretty average at most but the map/world itself is beautiful. In addition, the story for the whole game is kinda a miss, well it did had an impact right at the end but the execution of the story is very mid and I know some games are great without the storytelling and just putting it as pieces of lore, but the Forest's story and lore is not really that catchy for me.

Nonetheless, the game was pretty fun since I played this with my friends and we had a lot of fun together, we didn't enjoyed the combat but we did have fun. The Forest is an OKAY game.
