Early Access Review
SOTF looks gorgeous, feels great and has a lot of people excited considering the first game was amazing.

This game feels empty.

Kilometres of Forest, and no activities to fill it apart from a handful of empty caves that get your hopes up, and some pointless graves you can dig up for the same loot you can find in the barren caves and underground bunkers with next to no danger.
But you can build cool tree bases!

Unlike the first game, finding documents and pages don't give any feel or importance to the story. In the first game, if you found a document, there would be music to signify the importance, and it would get everyone excited because it genuinely meant a lot and left you to piece together the puzzle.
In SOTF, if you find a brochure or document, it genuinely doesn't feel like anything. There is no feeling of building up to a grand story climax. We spent 2 hours last night exploring in hopes to get somewhere, where we explored 2 locations and we walked for 90% of it. The underground systems we explored were underwhelming, lacking any significance apart from the endgame door we randomly found, which again had no lead up to it.

Caves are bland and are just dumped full of the same loot over and over again. after a couple of hours of playing, you literally have everything you need to finish the game resource wise.


I haven't played a game in a while where dying has no consequence. If you're exploring and happen to die, you just respawn back at a cannibal camp where you literally pick up your backpack with your items and walk straight out. NO consequence.

This game is so underwhelming and unfinished. I hope to come back when the devs finish it.
