I have been looking for a good survival game for a while now. I started with ark but the surviving got too easy with the levels. The forest you don't level up you harden your defenses and hope for the best. Hunting and gathering is a must and it is not easy what so ever. You aim with your hand and learn from trial and error. I play on the PlayStation and it is by far one of my favorite games. If survival horror is your thing The Forest is a must! I can go on and on about this game so if you get the chance you have to check it out.
