Sons of The Forest improves on graphics, animations, story, and more, but fails with the core game mechanics compared to The Forest. Building is needlessly obtuse compared to the first game and lackluster UI/UX that permeates throughout all the game's mechanics, especially in the crafting menu. All this turns what should've been simple things, like in the first game, into figuring out how the UI works.

My biggest gripe with Sons of The Forest is the cave system. In the first game, you would often want to explore caves and be amazed by where you ended up both within the cave system and the overworld map, but Sons of The Forest fails in this regard. Caves are all separate linear paths to objectives rather than the sprawling, connected cave systems seen in the first game. You as the player do not want to explore the caves in this game; you want to find objectives.

If you played the first game and want to play more of a similar game with friends, it's a decent buy on discount, otherwise consider whether you want to spend your limited time on a better game instead.

the anti-cheat supports linux, but rockstar refuse to allow the support.
Well done!

good game, but please add native ultra widescreen support

If you value your rights do not play.

The game is a privacy risk and restricts free speech by banning mentions of LGBT, Taiwan, Tiananmen square, etc.

only a handful of devs, 45 million in profits, yet no real plans to scale up development and practically no QA. Resulting in a million bugs, including game breaking bugs such as massive memory leaks.

update:
As of 29.10.25, Wargaming have collaborated with Brandon Herrera, a US arms manufacturer and politician, who has expressed views sympathetic to white nationionalism and the US Confederacy.

The game itself is already dying and Wargaming are proving themselves to foster an unsafe environment, which I cannot support. It is quite impressive how badly Wargaming keep failing.
