Sons of the Forest vs The Forest - Direct Comparison! Attention to Detail & Graphics! PC 4K
An entirely new experience from the makers of the ‘The Forest’
Sent to find a missing billionaire on a remote island, you find yourself in a cannibal-infested hellscape. Craft, build, and struggle to survive, alone or with friends, in this terrifying new open-world survival horror simulator.
A Survival Horror Simulator
Experience complete freedom to tackle the world how you want. You decide what you do, where to go and how best to survive. There are no NPC's barking orders at you or giving you missions you don't want to do. You give the orders, you choose what happens next.
Fight Demons
Enter a world where nowhere is safe and fight against a range of mutated creatures, some who are almost human like, and others who are like nothing you have ever seen before. Armed with pistols, axes, stun batons and more, protect yourself and those you care for.
Build and Craft
Feel every interaction; Break sticks to make fires. Use an axe to cut out windows and floors. Build a small cabin, or a sea-side compound, the choice is yours.
Changing Seasons
Pluck fresh salmon directly from streams in spring and summer. Collect and store meat for the cold winter months. You're not alone on this island, so as winter rolls in and food and resources become scarce you won't be the only one looking for a meal.
Co-op Gameplay
Survive alone, or with friends. Share items and work together to build defenses. Bring back-up to explore above and below ground.

No matter how good Sons of the Forest is, I can already bet you there will be people who think the game is dogshit because they are blinded by nostalgia from the old game. I personally love the game

[@MyLiverismyEnemy]

That'd be ridiculous. So far, to me at least, Sons is just The Forest, but more and prettier. Almost every single concept from the original is still there. Just better.

[@kingreivaj0665]

What doesn't quite convince me is the new way of building.

[@Sanquinity]

The game IS dogshit atm. But what people apparently forgot is how The Forest was in it's earliest days. It was just as bad, if not worse. After watching gameplay and reading some reviews I just decided to not get the game right away. I'll wait for a few months of updates and check again, as I'm sure the game will have improved by then. Also I really hope they'll add VR support again. The Forest in VR was/is awesome.

[@banquetdiet928]

This game was really good, had good mechanics and great graphics, but it felt super short. i beat this game in 14 hours. Since i booted it up and got up on the snow covered mountain i made my way down and built shelter, i never even spent more than one night in my shelter, as soon as i made it i left to explore, i entered a cave with a spear and left with a shit ton of creepy armor. The game felt really easy even on hard difficulty, the spear felt really busted because it would always stagger the mutants and cannibals. by a few hours i already had the pistol, the shovel, the shotgun and two access cards. i didn't 100% the game by any means but i did explore EVERY cave and point of interest. i really did enjoy this game and it is better than the first. someone said "This game does such a great job at thinking there is so much more than there really is" and i couldn't agree moer. I know this game is still in early access i went into this game completely knowing it was but i still found myself really liking it. i'm a little confused on it still tho but my experience was good

[@franciscocarmona1975]

I have being playing for tons of hours because I like crafting and building so it depends the user. Its a good game tho, not finished yet. It is not difficult at all but its very creepy and produces a fear in me that not all the games earn it!

[@scarumanga]

SotF is by far the definitive edition. The OG doesn't hold a candle to SotF. So far the 1.5 hours ive played have been great. The first caves i've been in looks exactly like the caves in BC here should. The coast looks like Vancouver islands rugged coastline. You can see how heavily influenced by their local area the devs are, and they really did a outstanding job this time. Running into the fingers mutant the the blind cave ones in that first cave was scary. The lighting this time is perfect! New crafting system is interesting, will take time to adjust but it is better.

[@vurri7290]

The one problem with this game is that they made the caves way too filled with mutants and way too large without any of the loot. Had to fight over 10 mutants to get the shovel.

You probably get this quite a lot about the way you cut down that tree in the second game so I wanna give advice when cutting down a tree in the second game. when you cut down a tree I recommend moving closer and trying different angles like aim higher or lower.

[@fellowtemplar5679]

Sons of the Forest has great potential, but is empty at the moment. The map is huge with 70% of it lacking content. I literally ran through the entire western part of the island and there was nothing of interest except for the green marker thingy.

They do a really cool trick the with bushes and foliage on sons of the forest, its all 2D but they have some sort of simulation so even though its 2d it can bend and twist which gives it more of the illusion of 3d but saving heaps on polygon counts

The only big reason why I prefer to play The Forest now is SotF optimization. I know my PC isnt that good, but I still can play Hitman 3 60fps on ultra, its a cap a game like Sons of the forest have soooo little Fps. I will wait for SotF to come out from early access, then I will enjoy it. Hope they will optimize game well.

[@prozac5314]

[@Marco_My_Words]

The graphics of Sons of the Forest appear to be significantly improved. However, the game's high demands do not seem to justify the improved visuals. Furthermore, given that the game is still in early access, it is evident that it is poorly optimized. Reports suggest that even with a high-end 4080 GPU, players struggle to maintain an average of 60 FPS, which is unacceptable for a game of this caliber. The level of demand should not be this excessive.
