If you’ve scoured the survival horror genre in recent years, you probably won’t have missed the excellent The Forest. Good news, its sequel, Sons of the Forest, will be available in a few days.
Surprise release from Endnight Games studios in 2018, The Forest has far from gone unnoticed. This new entry in the survival horror genre has established itself in an extremely competitive category of games and has quickly become a reference in its field. The cause ? A big air of LOST hiding a much more disturbing plot, and an extremely well-crafted survival carried by ambitious graphics. This is why the release of its sequel, Sons of the Forest, is a small event in the coming weeks, this second episode loud and clear carrying the colors of its elder and enormously deepening certain elements of its gameplay. Add to that extremely impressive graphics and you will have the appointment not to be missed for the next few days.
Resuming without hesitation the graphic ambition of its elder, Sons of the Forest demonstrates an extremely impressive technique. From the myriad of new animations pushing crafting and combat to the maximum of realism, to the forest or troglodyte environments more real than life, the ambition of the new title from Endnight Games is palpable. The game plunges you once again on a desert island, this time in search of a missing billionaire. Of course, your stay will be very far from being heavenly since you will have to find the means to survive against the elements, but also against a myriad of cannibal natives hiding much more twisted secrets. The game gives you a sandbox-like adventure while maintaining a storyline that pulls you from one end of the island to the other, much like its predecessor.
The ambition of this project from the modest studio Endnight Games may have led to some production difficulties, the game having been postponed several times to finally be scheduled for February 2023. This is the February 23 next time you can dive back into the wooded depths of a not-so-welcoming place with this release exclusively for Steam and PC gamers. A novelty that is likely to do a lot of good for fans of survival games, since it seems to push all aspects of gameplay already well known to players to the maximum.
We told you just a little above, Sons of the Forest is unfortunately reserved only for PC players for the moment. The game will be available on the platform that saw the success of its elder, Steam, for the modest price of €29.99. Enough to give you good reasons to embark on this mysterious island and brave all the dangers.
