Green Hell vs The Forest

[Kaine]

This for the people who own both games: What's the similarities/differences between Green Hell and The Forest? (excluding Multiplayer experience).

[Boogieman]

In my opinion
forest
- more focused on basebuilding
- more focused on fights with canibals
- players die there usualy in combat

green hell
- focused on survival part - food and water
- triball arent so deadly compared to nature - i die there mostly to sicknes - venom, vomiting, infection, parasites, insanity, lack of proper food
- tribals much easier to avoid

Well they are both set in a forest, but difficulty of survival in Green Hell is several times harder than in The Forest, Green Hell has no building system other than a few craftable that you cannot add to - They are 2 very different games, I think you can better compare Green Hell to The Long Dark :)

green hell is a total hell. everything can kill you anytime.In The forest you eat medicine and your health restore to max but green hell you need to patch yourself to make sure your health not decreasing. food divided into 4 so you need to balanced it. The forest you just cook a lizard and you full already.

Forest is more focused on building the base and fighting then survival. The survival mechanics in the Forest is very simple. Food and water, that's it.

Green hell is more focused on survival. There are 4 nutrients you have to be aware of + different afflications. Building, as of now, is not very deep/complex yet but that's what I like since to be honest, building a fortress like you can in Forest is killing the immersion.

Totally agree with this. Lack of proper story on release just enforces it.

to be honest they are both very different. green hell is hardcore survival but the forest survival is just basic and simple and also the forest is more focused on building where as green hell hardly has any building.

I agree. I should have been more specific with my reply. I meant it is very similar to The Long Dark.

I think these permanent comparisons from Press and Community only come through the fact that both games were developed with "Unity"... Except for the green of the trees they are totally different to each other!!

The two games are quite a bit different. Both games can be considered hardcore in the right setting.

In The Forest you can scramble around a lot more. You do have basic survival needs but the major threats are the cannibals and mutants. The Forest area also seems to be easier to traverse. Your inventory is astronomically huge. And the custom building is about the best I've ever seen in a game. You can build grand structures like an amusement park, utilizing cranes and zip lines. You can sled down hills on a turtle shell. The game is just so damn fun it shoots itself in the foot storyline wise, because nobody wants to rescue Timmy. They just want to build something big and awesome!

Green Hell is more like the show Naked and Afraid. You have more believable bag space and your structures have to be built like real ones, in a certain order and nothing is going to be grandoise. Your (in)sanity means a lot more here and is a measure often used to punish you for not tending to yourself. You have to inspect yourself often when leaches, worms, or the like get a hold of you. You also have to eat right. You have carbs, fats, and proteins to worry about, other than then usual hydration. The amazon can be hard to navigate. Not only do you want to restrain from sprinting everywhere because of rattlers, but you also have a lot of cliff faces that constrain you.

OH and Green Hell is meant to have an episodic storyline.

I would not say if you like The Forest, you should play Green Hell. They are very different. That said, I think Green Hell will attract many Forest fans just because of the setting and both having natives involved.

Both games are top notch in my opinion. Though Green Hell still has to prove itself.

the foorest much easier\лес слишком лёгкий

[MemesDidit]

The forest is a cakewalk compared to Green Hell.

I agree with the comparisons to the Long Dark

The Forest is much easier to get into and learn. Green Hell is a nightmare of google searches and save reloading until you can figure out what you're doing.

But now just Imagine what a nightmare it would be to place in a jungle without "google searches and save reloading".. you know what i mean ;)

[Kaine]

Thank you everyone for your insights. I have decided to go ahead and try Green Hell :)

Yeah, but nobody wants to experience the exact realism of surviving in the Amazon unless they're psychopaths. There's a line between fun and realism, and GH leans a bit too much on the realism.
