The Forest
In The Forest, you take on the roles of passengers who survived a plane crash. You crash-landed in a dark and mysterious forest that offers plenty of surprises. Among other things, there are mutated cannibals who have put you on their menu. Therefore, you should be particularly careful at night. During darkness, the forest inhabitants are on the hunt.
To defend yourself against opponents, you can build various camps. Initially, a small shelter serves as a survival aid. Later, you can build fortresses from what the island has to offer. You collect trees, stones, plants, or leaves in your surroundings. The crafting system is easy to understand and can be quickly implemented by players. The multiplayer aspect of this game refers to a co-op game mode where you work together as a team.
In a large world, you discover caves and underwater lakes where you can seek refuge. On the surface, you fell trees to have wood for building shelters. You can also warm yourself by a campfire with it. The mutant opponents provide variety compared to the usual zombies and can be fought off with primitive weapons that you craft. If you do not want to fight, you can hide from opponents. It is even possible to avoid mutants throughout the game. For this, you have to be especially careful and hide in bushes or throw objects to distract mutants.
You can also set traps to avoid direct combat in The Forest.
