Is this just like 7 Days To Die?

[Trtlman]

Besides the building and surviving because all those games are pretty much the same game over and over.

No you cant compare the 2 really.
The Forest is better in my opinion.

Yes its a sandbox, one of which you will get tired of eventually/possibly.
People act like games last forever now for some reason.
As long as you get your moneys worth in hours then that is what makes games worth their price.
This one does that quite well, for most people double its price actually.

Game starts with a story but thats it. From that point on what you do is up to you, there is not much guidance (its best that way). Follow the story or just "survive". If you follow the story closely then you will get a lot of hours, that is if you take your time and let it all come in. If rushed you can beat the game in 1-3 hours, how is that fun?. Its best if you mix both in, start game, build some, learn the controls, timing etc. Slowly venture and explore land and caves until you beat it.

Most people do that then continue in multiplayer building/fighting.

Food/Water survival, hardest difficulty makes it more scarce but its not a problem similar to 7d2d and most other games. Survival is mostly dont get killed.

The enemy and AI in this game makes 7d2d look like total trash as well lol.
The forest's cannibals and mutants would decimate those zombies :P

When in peaceful mode do they two vary at all?

Well, I know that without the cannibals and creepy mutants, The Forest turns to a usual survival game without any enemies (except for sharks and crocodiles, and you still have to defeat the end-game boss). This is something that isn't like 7 days to Die since there are barely any enemies.

[Bączuś ^^]

if you care about lore/story/exploration then the forest is better than 7d2d
but if you don't care about it then the forest has way less content than 7d2d

I play both and love both. Im waiting for the new The Forest update to play again, but i have 400 hours between SP and Coop. Its hard to say one over other, because they each have their positives. But they feel completely separate in game play style to me. So they arent just clones of each other.

7DTD has completely different biomes / zones of areas from Forest, Burnt, Snow, Desert, etc and it has AI that is not currently that clever, BUT in the A17 update they will have much better AI, so im scared for that lol. You build in blocks mainly, but so much more complex building, from triangle blocks, curved blocks, electrics, stick traps to shotgun turrets lol.

Whereas The Forest only has only a separate Snow area / biome, but more intelligent AI when it works correctly, although like 7DTD the AI has occasional fits of running into walls and run around in circles lol. You can only do basic building from blueprints and some custom builds and only a few blueprint traps. For food and water, u can get it much easier than u can in 7DTD. It feels much more of a real life survival game, but not perfect.

I think im missing what ur trying to point out, but you dont get anything large blueprinted in 7DTD really. You do have large doors and drawbridge that i can think of, that are larger like 1x3 and 4x5 and some are 1x2 human / player height. Everything else is single blocks like Minecraft almost. Whereas The Forest has almost nothing in block form and certainly no where NEAR the same building abilities. In comparison The Forest is really lacking that element, but its not so important to this game either. Look at a few examples.

im saying that looks so boring cuz it's all blocks :P I much prefer The Forest's way of (I think I heard someone call it) 3D building ;D

[AimsKey]

God did u have to quote ALL that lol. Yeah ok i get u now. I mean The Forest looks cleaner builds with as u say "3D building". But 7DTD allows much more freedom to build, even if it is just blocks. I think i prefer that purely because of the content of how much u can build. We will have to see what The Forest next Content Patch has in the way of building improvements maybe?

Dont get me wrong i love both games either way.

sounds like you gave up early :D I'm at over 2000 hours with no end in sight

[Priest]

Would not name it "gave up"
Theres simply not really anymore to evolve.
And the Building System annoys me. (i mean really, you can turn buildings only in one direction ?!) (partially i was forced to build the same building 5 times until it was right)

But hey, arround 100 Hours is a fair gametime
