Green Hell Review -The Forest 2.0?

[@GideonsGaming]

Well, at this point nearly 6.500 people have heard me mispronounce Jaguar as Jag-Wire. That's a thing I'll think about at random times for the next year.

[@hannaherickson160]

LOL everytime i heard it i was screaming in my head ....like the car!!! LOL

[@XTSonic]

Just be glad there were no penguins in the game

[@sentientcardboarddumpster7900]

@@hannaherickson160 it was really that big of a deal? Lol

[@shredjward]

something i read once was to not poke fun at people who mispronounce a word because the fact that they said it wrong means they taught it to themselves. Maybe that's applicable here?

[@GideonsGaming]

@@shredjward Funny enough that may be true. It's too long a story for a KZbin comment but I'm unfortunately self taught on most things. I have trouble with quite a few words, but I never really thought about why. Maybe that's it.

[@mohicanoEightyFour]

Absolutely spot on review, i played the story mode about a year ago, and was challenging at the beginning, once you're hooked up you're done for. I can't say anything console wise, pc controls are actually pretty intuitive and very good, I played The Forest on console and i feel like you can't really get the best out of a controller with this kind of games. Has been constantly updated since and new expansion spirit of amazonia works pretty well. It's one of those games where you always feel like a beginner and now you have to be careful while picking up stuff too... They added a damned surprise... Took me about three bites to understand what was going on... I think is one of the most underrated survival games out here.

[@terryjones2467]

That creepy bastard scared the hell out of me. I lived in Hawaii for a time and actually found one of those things in my bedroom once. Then again in my garage.. I hate them

[@Zero_Tester]

Any survival games real fishing added?

[@MisterJ355]

200+ hours on ps4/ps5. Your delusional. How bout not posting bs opnions with 0 facts behind them. Literally PLENTY of people play this game with a controller

[@RidoDrago]

​​@@MisterJ355 How about actually reading the comment before bs on it? He said he cant speak about controls for Green Hell on console since he didnt try it yet. He only used a controller with The Forest which is quite old compared to its predecessor and Green Hell and he FELT like it wasnt for him, which is an opinion. So which game are you talking about while giving him some bs so we can get those important facts of yours straight. Cant believe i had to write the exact same thing as the one you bs'd on and i hope you will actually read mine and try to comprehend youre just a salty boy who talks bs on ppl who have an opinion on their own. Noone cares if the whole world is playing on a controller, this guy FEELS its nothing for him. Now please stop being salty to ppl you dont know and go be actually useful and not waste the commenters time to read your totally useless comment and not waste my time educating you on how to behave among strangers and how not to make a fool out of yourself

[@gymnodinium9]

Thank you for this review, you explained all the features of the game greatly, just what I was looking for

[@KatimaGaming]

Subbed and respect. I can't believe you are under 1k subs for the quality content you make. Thank you so much for this review. Steam Summer Sale is still on and I've been on the fence with this game for a while now. Will grab it as soon as payday arrives. More power to you and your channel! PS: I thought the Jag-Wire was charming

[@Leviticus_24]

great review, had this game for over a year on steam, me and my friend shelved it for a while. Because of the new updates, we're gonna get back into it. Playing on PC completely fixes the control issues, the controls are super easy on PC

[@GideonsGaming]

I haven't played the PC version but I figured it was just a poor job porting the controls to a gamepad. I really like the game though, just waiting on a few updates on the console side before diving back in.

[@aBadWizard]

Fair points all around. Excellent review. No lying or embellishing facts. 5/5 stars.

[@jaradshaw4723]

I actually prefer turning sanity off as the mechanic does really reflect the real world as eating some things bother some people but wouldn't even phase another. If they would of had a more toxic effect from eating poison found in plants and animals affecting sanity world of been better. For example the pine needles of a pine can be a great source of vitamin C but the roots of one are poisonous

[@federalcorvettelover3874]

Thank you very much for this detailed no nonsense review. Thanks to You I will now purchase Green Hell for my Xbox One S. Trust me, I have searched to find the right review & U gave it to me, thank you very much.

[@GideonsGaming]

I'm really happy that I could help!

[@stanettiels7367]

Pretty much my experience. The console version is janky as hell, no pun intended. I still love the game but it needs a few patches and I’ve been waiting since I bought it the day after it was released on console. Great review, you’ve earned a new sub 👍🏻.

[@jennifercanuelas2775]

Thank you for the in-depth review!

[@GideonsGaming]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@fboest]

Is there going to be GreenHell 2? If there is I hope they make it with UnrealEngine 5 and also add more realism in base building (nicer look walls as those mud walls) and combat- maybe attacking cannibals so we have more horror and tension in the game instead of animals

[@stellavanhout5134]

Oh ye.. let's craft some beautiful looking walls while trying to keep your sanity and try to survive.. very realistic!

[@najsakillzone]

I guess... the only way to make funny videos with Green Hell is to show how many times you die before you learn to survive.... I died on day 3 for two weeks before I realized that the little icon "you are dirty x4" ment that I should wash off (three times or four) before eating or tending to my wounds. Its a nice change of scenery to die out in the jungle and not killed in the streets and buildings in Tarkov.

[@PythonPlusPlus]

I just got the VR version of the game recently. Man does going insane in the game make you feel insane. Especially when hallucinations pop out of nowhere and try to kill you.

[@jakiekuzuguk6966]

I've been a fan of green hell stranded deep and the long dark think I'll order a xbox or ps 5 this year for the forest and the sons of the forest

[@marekondrcka5707]

a properly done review..rare experience

[@sentientcardboarddumpster7900]

I played Green Hell first. I'm current on The Forest. Green Hell sucked me in like very few games have done to me. I lost a month to that game lol. However, I think The Forest is a bit better. Both amazing games.

[@Reservist]

Well written and concise review, thanks!

[@djlu3011]

From the sound of it...this game seems harder than real life survival. In real life I think anyone can make it to next day.

[@elchucabagra]

Excellent review, love your writing

[@GideonsGaming]

Thank so much!

[@elchucabagra]

Have you checked out project zomboid? Unsure if there's a console release but it's similarly aimed at the "survival" elements of the genre.

[@GideonsGaming]

@@elchucabagra I have, it's really good too, just kind of stuck in dev hell. Major features have been teased for a decade. If you are interested in a realistic hardcore survival game. Check out Unreal World. I also Like 7 Days to Die.

[@saulsilver87]

The forest is an arcade version of Green hell

[@GideonsGaming]

That's...a really accurate comparison, lol.

[@KFGGaming2024]

@@GideonsGaming Do you consider the game as too easy after you got the drill?

[@GideonsGaming]

@@KFGGaming2024 To an extent. Your lack of knowledge early on makes the game far harder when you don't know how to deal with a snake bite, for example. That said, Green Hell's survival systems are harsh enough to keep you on your toes. If you get too comfortable or sloppy, you will die.

[@nsggaming2100]

This game is cool but it don't support low end pc unlike the forest i can run it smoothly on the med settings

[@angelmcfarland1189]

In short PC version good but console version not so great due to patch needed issues both controls and programing. Regardless of the issues it still looks like a good game as i hope they fix the console versions so they live up better to people's expectations.

[@user-nx1qo1qb4u]

Looks cool n all, sounds frustrating tho. Think ill wait for son of the forest to come out

[@ChrisFowlerNH]

I spent years of my youth as a Wilderness EMT /Backcountry Ranger.... Let's see how I fare 😂😎

[@GideonsGaming]

With you're background, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the game. I thought the game was relatively realistic, but I'm just a nerd 😄

[@ChrisFowlerNH]

​@@GideonsGamingI've watched a bunch of reviews. The one component I love is the psychological component. And it's true in a real-life situation as well. Keeping a positive spirit, oftentimes mean the difference between life and death. Staying busy, staying focused, keep moving... plus the medical problems, the way that these problems integrate with each other. Seems quite realistic. I can't wait to start playing it!

[@palbaselim]

I swear i thought i imagined it the.first time i heard you say "jaguire"🤣🤣 until i heard u say it again.

[@GideonsGaming]

I definitely struggle with certain words. My friends have given me crap for how I say "Steel" "Wash" and a few other words lol.

[@Ericstone00]

Yeah only 18hrs and last played Apr 25th, 2021. I don't hate it...

[@Zer0Morph]

Amazing review. Well written.

[@GideonsGaming]

Thank you kindly!

[@troskintastarakonas8207]

to me is not because for me is too realistic. halusionations can become after some time annoying but this game is pretty good nontheless when you learn how to survive. the only thing i like the most is veriety of injuries

[@GideonsGaming]

That's a fair criticism

[@dreadroberts5627]

Anyone know if the console version issues have been patched by now or not?

[@GideonsGaming]

Still buggy. They are working on bringing the Spirits of Amazonia part 3 to consoles and I'm hoping everything gets smoothed out with it. No ETA though.

[@dreadroberts5627]

@@GideonsGaming okay, thank you for the response. I saw it was on sale on PSN, and was trying to decide if I should pick it up or not. Great, informative video btw!

[@kwleeds]

Sorry If I missed it in your review, but does the game run at 60fps on ps5?

[@GideonsGaming]

I believe it's 30 FPS unlocked, however, the performance drops enough that I'd never say it's anywhere near 60 at any time.

[@TBrettzky13]

I love this game. Still playing on console right now. If anyone wants to join my public lobby, they can! 😀

[@OmegaRejectz]

Great game, shame it’s soooo janky and the performance is awful. Creepy Jar should’ve kept it as a PC exclusive and only done console ports if they were going to actually make them play properly. Runs worse on my PS4 Pro than The Forest did on my base PS4.

[@zilchnilton]

Nice review. I think I'll pass & wait for the Forest 2 instead

[@formidablejp558]

You could’ve still picked up the pot though. If you open your back pack and use the cursor to click on it, you’ll pick it up and can carry the water in the pot to a fire. Also, tribals spawn in certain places when you are sane and when they are real. I don’t know how much you explored the map so I don’t want to say you didn’t explore enough. Also when you are going insane, fake tribals spawn only when your sanity is below 25%. You start going insane when below 50% but only hear voices. So if you wanted them to show up more than once, you have to be more insane. Also, with spirits of Amazonia, the map is expanded upon much much much more. Although I don’t really agree that the map being small is a con or if it is even small. It didn’t really feel small with the multiple locations you can find. Multiple caves. Multiple man made structures. There’s even an illegal gold digging portion of the map that’s only accessible thru the story. So…. It felt big to me. Finally, I never understood people not liking controls for games. Like, I get it, if the controls are hard to remember, then yeah, that sucks. But if I’m playing a game I find interesting and want to see more of, I’m going to try my best to remember the controls. Like isn’t that the point of picking up the game for the first time? Learn the controls so you can play it? All that aside, I really did like your review and it’s a lot more in depth than others. I agree that bugs suck. I’ve played the pc version of Green Hell and I’ve already beat the story in the console version. I haven’t come across any bugs yet. But I am expecting them. All in all. I love the game and disagree with some of your cons. But love the amount of work you put into the review. Keep it up.

[@formidablejp558]

Oh! Also, the chance of natives showing up at your base “supposedly” increases if you have a fire going. Because they’re supposed to “see” the smoke. So there’s supposed to be some sort of tribal spawning near you when you have a base camp. And a fire. I’ve even seen videos of people having parts of their camps destroyed by natives. Which is a thing. That’s why spike traps and bow traps are set up for defenses.

[@OmegaRejectz]

… there’s a difference between learning controls and the game having a beyond jank mouse cursor on a thumb stick You must be one in a trillion because not experiencing bugs in this game on console seems like an impossibility

[@extrie3650]

Keep it up👍

[@darkmarv8045]

To me this is way better than The Forest.

[@KFGGaming2024]

Ist das Spiel schwer? Oder sogar zu einfach?

[@blueSkies777]

I refunded Forest, survival is non existent

[@swoopstudios1104]

@@blueSkies777 lol wdym survival is non-existant in the forest?

[@minihalkoja590]

​@@swoopstudios1104The hardest part of survival in The Forest comes from the cannibals and mutants, and they can be easily cut down by traps and bow & arrow headshots. You would have to be dumber than stupid to die from dehydration or starvation. The one and only disease/infection you can get, is a slight debuff on stamina, and it's instantly cured by eating one common plant. Low sanity is more of a buff because it unlocks new buildings. The only aggressive animals around are the sharks and alligators. You can even survive by eating only rabbits, which is a good way to end up dead in real life. The Forest gets easy early on, and it gets even easier from there.

[@1div2agent74]

Game is better than forest. 2 reasons. 1. The devs brought it to console immediately. 2. It's just better in every way and forest was my favorite game for a while
