Anybody else been trying The Forest?

For those who don't know what it is, it is an alpha release. You just crashed on an island and you have to survive the environment and cannibals. Basically it is a survival game where you build your camp, make sure you eat, drink buil weapons etc. I have tried Rust too but to be honest, Forest seemed way better (I will give Rust another go soon enough). Latest update added thirst to the game, which made it a bit more complicated but still fun if you like survival games.

And here is a great wiki for this game:

It seems that survival is the new theme for games, there is another early access on Steam based on survival that I just saw :)

I bought The Long Dark over the winter sale and have played a decent amount of that.

Rust was good in Legacy but sucks right now. I've basically just sworn it off until it gets fixed. It has a lot of problems.

Agreed! Kind of turning into the WW2 repetitive disaster that was gaming years ago.

Ready for something fresh, I am so sick of zombies/survival in TV/Movies and games already.

With that said, I would love a WW1 or WW2 game on the more modern engines. The sooner we get away from this futuristic FPS setting the better.
