It seems like it’s been a very long time since we heard about The Forest launching, and it has. It was originally released into early access over 4 years ago. But in that time, the team at Endnight Games has polished the title into something that has become widely beloved. For console players, The Forest launches on November 6th on the PS4!
For those unfamiliar, the synopsis is as follows:
The Forest casts you as a father looking for his missing son after you both survive a passenger plane crash. You’ll have to find food and water, and as night approaches build a fire and shelter to keep warm. Although tranquil at first, you soon find there is something sinister lurking in the trees.

Our Take
We’re excited about this one, though we feel as though it’s coming at a very bad time of the year. We hope it doesn’t get buried by the AAA Fall releases, but hopefully with the title being rather unique, it will carve out its own niche among the crowd.
