Sons of The Forest. This was a highly anticipated game by me and a fried. We had spent hundreds of hours in the first game. While i think this sequel is worth a play, i do think it needs a few changes. The first change i think should be made is to the hang glider. Getting the hang glider is easy, but keeping it is hard. When walking with the hang glider, there is no way to store it in your backpack, so you must hold it if you want to take it with you. And with that, your hands are busy. This means you cannot pull out a weapon to defend yourself if you are trying to get the hang glider back to your base. If you mess up your launch with the hang glider, you will drop it and it will succumb to the physics of the world, rolling down any hill it can.

The next change i think should be made is, there is little to no reason to build a base. the map is so large, and there are so many different points of interest, that building a base would be a large hassle due to the player needing to walk all the way back from any cave or lore point. It is way easier to play the game as a nomad, since you can build a temp shelter with a tarp and stick, to sleep the night away, then pick it back up and take it with you to your next cave. with how easy it is to get a stick and a tarp, there is little to no motivation for a player to want to build a large base.

Third, I think there should be a fix to how balancing works. near the end of the game, there is a lore point that leads to a massive underground bunker. in this bunker, there are a few enemies, but there are also a ton of weapons and tools. in this bunker you find, the pistol (again), the katana, the gold armor, and the putter. All of these things being in the same section make this section a bit overpowered when it comes to getting stronger weapons. furthermore, in the final cave, you also find the shotgun. having all these weapons near the end of the game makes it pointless to go into the caves to get said weapons (the pistol and shotgun).

The fourth change I think should be made is, it should be harder to get food and resources. Going back to the first change regarding not needing to build a base, if it were harder to get food, it makes sense for a player to build a base so that they have somewhere safe to stay after being out hunting. it is far too easy to get food and resources in this game. it's just all over. by the middle of the game the player is full of most foods.

The final change I think should be implemented builds off the previous one. I think there needs to be a smaller variety of foods. there are so many different types of foods that are so easy to get, it makes it almost stupid of you to make traps or do anything to get food.

overall, I think this is a fun game and do recommend it to be played with a friend or two. the graphics are stunning, the characters are iconic, and its a good time.

I mean. Why not.

Great way to spend a few hours. And days. And weeks.

lost all my friends to this game.
