is it just me or the game looks washed out or lack of color depth?

after the update, i kinda feel like graphic overall has changed, the lighting feels way bright at some area and shadows are too dark..and kinda lack of color?idk its me or the game has changed it on purpose

Its probably the color filter. Go to your graphics options and change it. After the update it likely defaulted to a specific color filter.

Check it then and cycle through each one until you find the color filter you like.

Yes it looks dull and lifeless

I went to the options and changed the color grading to Warm. Seemed to fix it for me, I noticed it too and hoping for a fix.

I've posted about this before. The game is bright as hell and everything is completely washed out. Not using silly artificial filters to change white into beige.
I provided proof a couple of years ago but here's a new lot from today:

And for the most retarded one taken just before night:

As you can see, the landscape around darkens but not the sky. There is no sky. Even when it storms the 'sky' remains the same. A dead blank which for years, the devs seem totally happy with. Does blue exist in the game? Looks like God is shining a huge lamp from above and the sun itself is just another white moon. I can walk outside my house right now and see a BLUE sky. It's not white. The tops of the trees are NOT white. Clouds are white, grey whatever so wake up. This has to be the most unrealistic game I've played. Despite enjoying it, it totally failed to achieve any sense of realism and natural atmosphere.

Learn how shaders work... And its a video game. Everything is artificial! Are you retarded?

If you dont like the colors. The color filters are there to suit your taste. Things can render however you want. Other games should have color filters. Forests in RL look very different. No game should be confined to a single range. They should all have the ability to change the colors.

No game looks real. Sorry to burst your bubble.

If you want to point out issues, be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ educated with the options menu. Try each filter then whine like a ♥♥♥♥♥. Ignorance is always your fault. What you are complaining about isnt the game, its user error.

[Wylie28]

Then how come you refuse to select the color filter you like? You are worse than ignorant. You are stupidly stubborn.

Clearly you have no idea at all, what John is talking about. You are blinded by facts, and only accept whatever you believe in.
You are not capable of absorbing what John is trying to say.
He is not ignorant, that is all on you.

We all have different opinions and different tastes but who are we to try to change anothers?
Just from glancing at your post history of derogatory comments, it looks like you will never agree with anyone other than yourself. Grow up already.
I think the game could look much better than it does at the moment. This is just my opinion. Am I somehow wrong because you may disagree with me? The colour filters are just there to play with because there's no decent shading or atmospheric optics. It's a game, so I would have liked it to be a little more colourful and have a better looking atmosphere without the unrealistically white sky and overpowering fog (if that's what it is)
The leaves on the tree's still look like a ps1 game when the graphical settings are maxed.
The bottom line is that the game trailer for this in alpha looks so much better than the game looks now and it's out of EA. I remember reading comments about this and people would criticise them for pointing it out. The typical response was "it's in alpha. stop judging"
We're in the stages of final release. What's the excuse now? It's still butt ugly.

Here's just one example: https://steamcommunity.com/app/242760/discussions/0/34096318794239118/
The response was "The trailers are for the FINISHED game. This is early access."
The game is pretty much finished now. The significant problem as stated in this thread remains 4 years later
I'm not even whingeing about this. I'm just stating the obvious as many other people have done so already.

You're talking about forests as if the subject were about chameleons. Other games do not have colour filters because they do not need them to achieve the effect of what a lush forest may look like in a game. A game is all it is. Comparing The Forest to the other games out there (which have achieved a better look) is the whole point that it could look so much better than it does at the moment.
