Worth buying for Multiplayer?

[Mr Nightmare]

Is this Game worth buying for Multiplayer? I'm not really that interested in playing this Game alone (Singleplayer) i rather want to play with other people. How is the Multiplayer in this Game?

[AtoK]

yes! ;)

It's gorgeous!

if you have friends who will play with you then yes
if you have patience to visit coop subforum and get people to play then yes
if you want public multiplayer then huge no

Coop is a ton of fun, and I have been enjoying it with my friend this last week.

a lot of griefers and modders who cheat around
there are also troll hosters who make their game public just to ban anyone who join their game (There are also people who forgot to put private, but they are minority, trollers are majority in case of such banning)

It depends on what you look for in a multiplayer game normally. Forest was originally intended to be sp only, but multiplayer was a later addition and in some ways it very much shows. That said, the story aspect of single player is also available in mp and it is relatively short so in the long run most players come back because of the multiplayer feature. The game mechanics can be a lot of fun in a group, especially a good group but the people kind of do make or break that server's experience as a result. Server selection changes the experience quite a bit. If you play a private game with a group of friends you will very likely enjoy the experience. If you find a dedicated and active private group the experience can be equally entertaining.

If you hop into the first peer to peer server with an interesting name, it's a gamble. Some are very nice and helpful, have no issues showing you neat places to go or passing along tips about how to not die. Others...not so much. There is also a problem with modding/cheating. There are some very interesting mods that can enhance your game but there are also mods specifically designed to be a troll's toolkit and that can become a problem for the public peer to peer options. If you do choose these servers, I wouldn't advise getting incredibly invested in them as they tend to be short lived compared to the other server options.
