Which one would you buy? The Forest vs The Long Dark
I would like to play a survival game and i looked some up.
There are 2 games that look very interesting to me.
The Long Dark and The Forest. I have watched some gameplay of both and i still can't decide which i like more. The crafting mechanics and the gameplay look very nice in The Forest but i really liek the art style and the winter theme of The Long Dark. Also im not too much into horror games but i really like the survival aspekts of both games.

My question now is, if someone of you have played both games and which you would recomment.
I just want to buy 1 game. Maybe i ll buy the second one later, but atm i just want to spend money on 1 game.
Thanks for every help.

From the videos I've watched of The Long Dark it seems to be a completely different game with very little simularity to The Forest. Yes they are both survival games, but that's pretty much it.

In The Long Dark it seems as though survival is your one and only goal and is very difficult to achieve. They plan on adding NPCs and some degree of questing or interaction with them that will force you into decision making. It also seems like there is not much in the way of crafting in TLD, besides starting a fire and cooking food. I'm very interested in that game but I'll probably wait until full release to buy it, even though it seems much more polished and stable than The Forest currently.

In The Forest you must not only survive against the elements, which isn't nearly as hard compared to TLD, but you must also struggle against the cannibals and mutants on the island. Crafting and building will be a huge focus of the game while trying to stay alive against the cannibal threat. It does not appear there will be any NPC's or quests of any sort besides possibly saving Timmy. However The Forest is still very buggy with huge performance problems for some users, and new bugs introduced each patch, some of which can be game breaking.

All I can suggest is watch some videos of both titles and figure out which you would enjoy investing in more. But remember they are both Early Access titles, you are not buying a fully completed game.

Thanks for the answer. I think i ll go for TLD. Maybe i ll buy the forest later. Will the price be the same at release or will it be more?

Prices always increase after release in Early Access.

I backed The Long Dark on kickstarter, and have some time playing it. There are some general similarities to The Forest, but the game mechanics are entirely different.

In TLD, there is much more management of your condition, your calories, your body temp, your fatigue. You are constantly losing calories, which will eventually lower your condition if you don't replace them. The more you move, and the colder you get, the faster you lose them.

You don't gather wood like in The Forest, it is an automated process that you use through a menu and time progresses, and depending on your condition, what tools you have, and where you are in the map, as well as the weather all decides how much wood you will gather.

You can find supplies in containers and buildings, but you can't really use the tools in real time, like in The Forest. Everything is done through menu screens using those variables I mentioned earlier.

There are wolves that will attack you, but there really isn't combat, it's a quick time event where you have to click LMB repeatedly until you build up the bar, then hit RMB, which is disappointing.

It is more of a simulator than a first person action game. To me, you are much more aware that you are going to die in TLD. It's harsher, the environment more deadly, the atmosphere more hopeless. You realy feel that dread of a lone survivor fighting to live.

But as of right now, you can't build things. You can repair items, but that's it. I'm not sure if they plan on adding crafting or not, I haven't followed the game much since I backed it.

Be aware though that there are some bugs in the game, it's by no means finished, and a lot of things are buggy.

I own both, I just wouldn't compare them as they both play very differently. If you don't want to play a complicated survival game then I wouldn't recommend The Long Dark, simple choices have harsh consequences in that game.

both of the games are survival but they are like diffrent in 90% of the stuff. I would buy the forest (alrady did) becuase its really fun and you need to defend yourself and you have action when defending aginst the cannibles and the co-op in the forest should be great.

Both of them are in beta btw. :o The Long Dark also has some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ bugs.

Btw. The Forest is no real survival game. It has a full story with a end.

I have them both and I much prefer The Forest; The Long Dark does have a lot of potential and I'm sure it'll get there but for me it just doesn't have the content or the performance and is in need of a lot of fine tuning as of now, the game is also soooo slow that I can't consider it anything other than dull. Literally in The Long Dark, how long you can hold the W key without getting stupidly bored or resisting the temptation to hold shift whilst holding W is the most important survival mechanic.

You do realize that The Long Dark has a story right? It's episodic.... And just like in The Forest, it's optional, you could just play sandbox mode and ignore the story.

i would recommend the long dark i haven't played it yet but the forest is a very poor game with few things to do and poorly optimized.

Ive seen a few long dark videos and it looks like a much better and more entertaining game with a real sense of survival.

Go for the long dark forget the forest

To be honest, The Long Dark isn't any better in either of those regards.

It does all come down to what you want though. If you want a real sense of survival, then the survival simulation is obviously the way to go. Which game is more entertaining is completely subjective; personally for me, The Long Dark is as boring as watching paint dry.

I buy them all(in Alpha, because they are cheaper). In hope, that one of these sandbox-"survival"-games will really be a survival game, not a surviving any kind of monsters game. The Forest has the vegan mode for it, thats nice. But it has to grow. Like all these sandbox-"survival"-alphas.
So now i have to buy three alphas again. The Long Dark(thx for the tip), and i found Life Is Feudal and Out Of Reach.
Damn, i own a lot of these sandbox games, but they are all alpha, not just one of them is nearly finished. So for the time waiting, maybe 1-2 years till some of them are released, i bought Minecraft before three weeks. No joke, have to deal with it´s graphics, but it´s fun, because you can mod it like you want and play it like you want. But even the modded graphics... xD

I have both games, but I enjoy The Forest more. In The Long Dark I have died a lot in the first 24 to 48 hours, wolves, cold, falling off a cliff while trying to find ways to survive. As for The Forest I have survived 15 days and have built a fort along with many other items. I like to think of the of both games as this: The Long Dark = Bear Grylls The Forest = Les Stroud In the end it is what you makes you happy.

I have both but just played LD for the first time yesterday. I like The Forest a lot but cant say that it's a fair comparison, both games play differently.
