Alpha reviews offer our preliminary verdicts on in-development games. We may follow up this unscored alpha review with a final, scored review in the future.
I've been playing The Forest today, and whenever anyone's come over to my desk to watch I've been savaging an animal. Spearing fish with a stick, murderising turtles with a rock, and at one point I'd battered so many seagulls with an axe that the resulting pile of feathery bodies slowed the game down to a crawl. As I type this, it's the second best-selling game on Steam. It would be the first, but a 75% sale on Injustice is getting in the way. Am I enjoying it? Yeah, but I think it's important I tell you from the off that it's incredibly janky and limited, even for an Early Access title. At this point in time it feels more like a proof of concept than a game, but what I've seen so far shows a lot of promise indeed.
It starts with a plane crash.
