Stranded Deep is a great game but The forest is more to do

They are very different games. The forest takes place on a hand-crafted world that is always the same every time you play it. It takes place on a peninsula or island, so there is water and sea turtles. The game challenges you with cannibal mutant enemies, along with looking for food and water and other stuff. I feel my adrenaline pumping just thinking of the game (and that cave...).

Stranded Deep has a different map each time you play. The world is a grid (tilted so islands don't line up with the sun and compasses are harder to use)and most squares have a procedurally generated island. Some squares are empty or have special features. There is a "cartographer" that lets you create your own custom island and place it into the world. People can try each others islands, its a lot of fun! The Forest is more developed and has more to do. But Stranded Deep has unique features: Lounging around on a tropical beach, diving on numerous shipwrecks, crafting rafts and bases, shooting coconuts out of trees,lol. Stranded Deep is a chill game, you make it what you want it to be--no real plot--just simple survival. Optional rescue at the end (is coming).

*I almost forgot the sharks! Yes there are sharks that will eat you.

all the stuff described in upper post can be done within 3-4 hours...after that it's pretty much repetition.

the forest is more fleshed out, has a story, mechanics that make sense and are enjoyable. The forest is the better single player experience (the best right now would be subautica) at the moment.

Forest gets more updates...

Have you think on Subnautica? Is a really good one in terms of survival and new concepts. http://store.steampowered.com/app/264710/
Stranded Deep is a chill one, low develop time (they are a small group of devs) and have editor to make your own islands and share with others (no workshop) and other nice stuff. I cannot say nothing about The Forest since they go for the zombie way that is dead long ago.

I just completed Subnautica and was looking for another game in a similar vein, apparently this isnt it yet.

If you can deal with a few bugs, spend a little time with optimization (In development game) then I would recommend this game.

Subnautica is amazing, this is different. If you liked subnautica, or fallout, 7d2d ect youll like this game. I enjoyed it.

If you like subnautica, keep your eye on Bermuda-Lost Survival. It's way early in development--the only reason to buy it is to help with development since there isn't much game yet. In Bermuda, you are in the open ocean with no land in sight, and there will be a mystery down below to figure out (if you choose). Lots of diving to collect resources, spearing fish to eat. Similar to Subnautica--but very, very, early in development. And it takes place on earth with natural shark behavior.

Stranded deep has sharks......The Forest has cannibals.

Choose how you would like to die.

Not to forget – no crabs in the Forest!

Stranded Deep has more potential than the Forest, but unfortunately its development is very slow
