Final thoughts: 4.2/5 (4 in backlogged) After playing this game for over 20 hours and achieving 100%, I can confidently say that this game is much better than I initially judged it to be. I compared it a lot to the first The Forest since I played The Forest and Sons of the Forest back to back, but this game shouldn't be compared to its predecessor. It clearly had major improvements, mainly in its graphics, combat, models, and building system. However, it didn't really feel like a survival game like the first one; it felt more like a horror game with some elements of survival. The story honestly is just bad. I was trying not to be so harsh on it in my first review, but honestly, I'm glad the story isn't its main focus.

ABOUT THE 100%: It has a lot of collectibles (16 Blueprints, 50 Notes, 4 video tapes, and a few clothes), but none of them were a pain to collect since by the end of the game, I already had most of them. The miscellaneous trophies were easy to get, just boring. The only multiplayer achievement is pretty easy, and you can get it in under a minute if you are lucky enough to find someone in the servers willing to help, or if you have a friend (which I know you don't). Overall, it's an easy platinum.
