"With an entertaining atmosphere, plenty of settings, and over 1,000 questions, That's You is an absolute with mates – and in this case, the more the merrier. Questions can get hilarious, awkward, crazy, or just downright weird, but what is guaranteed is that you'll be having a hugely fun time. Thanks to its focus on self-deprecation, creativity, and absurdity, Wish Studios' latest is up there with Jackbox and Sportsfriends as an essential for game nights. And the best thing? It's free on PlayStation Plus for the next few months."

About Trees Hate You

Trees Hate You launches on December 31, 2026 as a single-player indie adventure for PC. You enter a hostile forest where the flora actively plots against your survival. The trees are not just background scenery; they are malicious entities that trick you, bully you, and deal damage directly. Your primary goal involves navigating this dangerous environment while searching for an axe to fight back. This title stands out by flipping the standard nature exploration trope on its head. Instead of finding peace in the woods, you must survive a constant psychological and physical war against the very ground you walk on.

Gameplay

Your session begins with a hike that quickly turns into a struggle for life. You move through dense areas where every tree looks at you with intent. The core loop involves dodging attacks and solving environmental puzzles to progress deeper into the woods. Each encounter requires quick reflexes as branches lash out or roots trip you up. You cannot trust any path, since the trees will set traps to delay your advance. Finding that axe is a major milestone because it changes how you interact with the world. Without it, you are mostly running and hiding. With it, you can finally strike back at the vegetation that has been tormenting you throughout the entire run.

What Players Think

Critics seem confused by this release since some data points to a party game called That's You! rather than an adventure. OpenCritic gives it a 74 out of 100 rating, with only 54.55% of reviewers recommending it. One review from NEOsite rates the game an 80 and calls it a great party board game on consoles. Spaziogames also scores it an 80, praising its smart humor and selfie mechanics. These conflicting reviews suggest a major mix-up in the data or a very strange rebranding effort. Only three players have logged in on PlayPile so far, so community sentiment remains unmeasured. The mood is currently neutral since the sample size is too small to draw real conclusions about player enjoyment.

PlayPile's Take

Trees Hate You looks like a niche title for people who enjoy dark humor and survival horror elements. The price point is not listed yet, but the low critic recommendation rate suggests caution. You should avoid this game if you want a traditional hiking sim or a relaxing experience. The achievement list remains empty due to the early release date, so there are no completion goals to chase right now. This game feels best for players who enjoy being tricked by their environment and don't mind a steep learning curve. Stick with it only if the concept of fighting angry trees actually sounds fun to you.
