I see we found the Doom 3 spiritual successor
I know a lot of you zoomers weren't around for Doom 3 but when it launched back in the day, it got absolute notorious hate for the shooting in the dark gimmick and iD had to patch in light attachments for every gun. 2 decades later, we have forgotten the teachings of the past and it's back to shooting in the dark for the sake of realism. Realism does NOT make a game fun especially when headlamps exist. Now I have played the original Forest and for some reason, I can't remember it being THIS bad. I feel like the darkness in caves have been dialed up to 11. Also, the cannibals are playing Unreal Tournament while I'm playing Ghost Recon. There's no reason why they should be moving THIS fast and my running speed is THIS slow. I know flares exist, but they barely last 2 mins when IRL flares feel like they burn longer. And their speed wouldn't even be that bad if it wasn't for the fact that they can 2 hit kill you while it takes 5-6 hits for you to kill them with the spear. COME ON. This is more frustrating than fun. Oh and btw, this is literally in one of the first caves where you get the rope gun, an absolute bare bones requirement to progress in every other cave.

Devs please
* Add a headlamp
* Add a bow and arrow shooting arc just like the spear
* Double movement and sprinting speed or alternatively, turn down the cheetah cannibal speed
* Turn down tanky cannibals

Thank you.

ye and in the forest one you could attach a flashlight to your bow
I dont bother much about cave fights, i pick a few for armor but sometimes its better to just run until you're safe

Nothing better than stretching your new 4090's legs by running through a pitch black background

so that means than fights become a huuuuge joke. Even now fighting isnt that hard.

You say this as if you have no source of light when you can make torches, use your lighter, find a handheld flashlight and flashlight attachment for your weapons.

Beating a broken down tank with a stick isn't that hard either but it's not fun..

It's not challenging when the enemy takes 10 hits to go down while you only take 2....

Get armour, level up, find better weapons, tweak the difficulty.

every single enemy will eat through your armor in one or two hits. Then once you get the gun, or get good with the bow, the game becomes way too easy

Creepy armor is definitely worth using. After clearing a cave or two I have enough for a full equipped set + 10 spare. Pretty much never use any healing after getting armour
