Great game! I wonder if the cheats still work for PC, i played it a few years back and it was hours of fun.

I'll be getting this after I see how the Epic Giveaways play out. It seems like giveaway bait - a good albeit underappreciated game with a sequel.

Developer mode will give you total access to allin that regard. I recall it was a mod download, easy to install.
I only made it to where trees fell in two swings cause
Who's got 20 mins to waste chopping trees?!
great game though. had more fun building against the mutants and exploring and never finished the story

Can someone tell me what I did wrong? I really wanted to love this game. First attempt at playing I was collecting/building stuff at plane crash site when "inhabitants" found me and GG'd me. Then I was in a cave and spent an hour trying to get out and never could. Didn't return to the game after that.

This game is fun, I played it with my older teenage son. Haven't tried the new one yet, but for $2 this is an easy Yes!

Still need to finish this one. Think I had just finished fencing of the entrance to a cliff for my base. Still need to explore most of the island.

The Forest isn't on Epic games. So I doubt it will be given away but you do have the steam sale going until the 2nd of Jan.

This game got me through Covid. You can play this for months and not have to advance the game: just do survival stuff. You will need to consult youtube to finish the game because there are caves entrances you will walk right past and not see.

And, I was so psyched for the sequel....and so disappointed. I think they added way too many elements. For instance: there's basically a fast segway you can steal from the cannibals....that you need...because they made the island like 3x bigger than the first one. You ever drive a segway on paths through a forest? Yeah: really hard to control.

Regardless: for $2, this is a no-brainer.

I tried the 1.

Sank 10-20 hours into it, built a base and all. What completely kills the game is monster respawn. It literally renders all your actions useless and meaningless. You can't really "build up" your success. I found out 20 hours later I was exactly at square 1.

So I lost interest and abandoned it.

You can choose an option to keep bases from being destroyed by enemies

Great deal! I played both. Personally I think this one, "The Forest" is better than the sequel.
