"Unfortunately, Sons of the Forest doesn’t quite manage to bring all of its elements together in a tidy package. While the building, crafting, and survival elements are neat, they’re not intertwined with the story, with both feeling like they’re completely separate ideas. Even the story seems unsure of what it wants to be, with odd pacing and poor audio design. I feel that fans of the original Forest game will relish the experience on offer here, but for everyone else, there are far better survival games out there."

About

Forest of Strays is a platformer where you navigate perilous levels as a lost girl searching for her missing cat. Each stage is packed with traps enemies and tight jump sequences that demand precision. Collect every leaf scattered throughout the environment while retrying failed attempts. Progression relies on mastering movement and memorizing hazards. Players report that the challenge is steep but satisfying with some levels requiring dozens of tries. Over 100 leaves are hidden across the forest adding replay value. The art style is distinct with colorful environments contrasting the games tough mechanics. Released late last year it has drawn praise for its brutal difficulty and heartfelt story beats.
