The Forest is one of those games that perfectly blends survival, exploration, and horror.Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys survival games with a touch of horror.I built a log cabin just to keep my marshmallows safe from mutants, with friends it’s survival of the tickliest!On my first solo playthrough, I hid in my base for like 20 days because I was too scared to leave until…Why it fits
