Yu-No was amazing, I think you'd have fun with it. It's a bit clunky and has a lot of that backwards moon logic (in gameplay) sadly, but was still quite good. A VN with a bunch of point-and-click adventure stuff.
“What’s the point of [self-hurting fire rock]?” Easy: for nonverbally telling the natives that you are a level of crazy that they are _absolutely_ _unprepared_ to deal with.
Y-know, that's not a bad idea. Reminds me of the Lewis Black bit where he suggests we elect the corpse of Ronald Reagan as president, because absolutely NOBODY will fuck with us after that.
I played this game with a friend who played it in VR. They didn't have a microphone so they could only communicate in gestures. However, they could swing the axe as fast as they could swing their arms, so it was sort of like playing with a mute Hercules that would fell entire swathes of woodland in minutes and then come running back to camp with about ten of the locals chasing them.
A nice detail is all the sharks on the beaches - sharks have electroreceptive organs in their snouts that they use for navigation so if an EMP goes off it could cause them to beach themselves.
@@TooMuchSascha That's because they didn't. The lab plot was a late addition and they had a different plot planned but scrapped it, so you had beached sharks and stuff when the EMP didn't exist in the setting. We call those happy accidents, not effort.
6:42 clarifying what Mandalore means: booze doesn't actually warm your body; alcohol relaxes your capillaries so more blood flows to your skin, so you feel warmer. But what's happening is that you're losing heat faster.
@@calebprouty288 there is one specific situation where booze is good for cold. Some places used sambernars as rescue dogs and those dogs carried booze with them. Drinking it and then laying with the dog will help you warm faster from your big puppy friend. The same can be applied if you have stable campfire. Tl:DR Booze bad for cold except if you got dog or fire.
@@Oscar-j6b BTW, St. Bernards carrying booze with them is a common misconception created by one artist in his painting. Later it was revitalized in many other public media resources(films, cartoons, stories, etc.), so the myth became so much widespread that it is now considered truth. However it is not.
Berserk 97 is the best thing to come out of the franchise. It being incomplete turned out to be a blessing in disguise because of how far down hill the manga went after the prequel arc.
I remember my first time playing, I set up my base at the beach right in front of the plane crash site. A couple of days in, I look at one of the cliffs and I see a small group of cannibals just watching me from afar. That's when I realized how great/scary the AI was. I could have never looked up at that specific cliff and saw them, but they would have seen me. Makes me think how many times I haven't seen them.
Some of the worst (best) interactions I’ve had were at night after building a pretty big base with a watch tower I look down and see one of the spotlight guys walking around from afar, can’t even see his body just the light he casts He stops, facing my general direction, I’m not lit up at all so I’m not sure if he actually sees me, and then he frantically runs away into the night. Maybe him running away at that moment was just a coincidence, maybe he was going to tell his friends
@@joeschmoe3665 Same thing happened to me bro. I got jumped like in the first 10 minutes of playing (my plane crash site was right next to the abandoned village where the cave is when you die). That's a rough spot for the plane crash to be.
@@MandaloreGaming See, that's already not how I would approach this. I recommend the movie "The Man Who Would Be King" for further learning material about 2 guys in a undiscovered hostile land worshiped as gods by the indigenous people.
My homie has a base that took over a year to build, has a water park, gaming room, torture chamber, thousands on bone walls and so much more....pretty cool game.
Balding seems to be easier for people who never cared much about their hair or put any effort in. Balding as someone with great looking, long 'metal' hair is a nightmare.
I got my phone's brightness at max, causing irreversible damage to my corneas as I type and I still can't see a thing. Bro needs his eyes studied for science, he's at the very least part feline.
Me and my friends made 2 sea platforms with housing and stuff on them and we acted like pirates, terrorizing the shores and murdering all in our path and raiding the caves

@@NoNameAtAll2 Peoples found out many professional smash players are pedophiles, which is not cool on it's own. It is however worst when you realise that Nintendo will likely stop supporting the smash competitive scene because of this.
@@Sir_Bucket It was one guy, and the joke is getting really old. Its especially annoying because melee is the real smash scene, and it doesn't need a layer of bullshit making competition with ultimate harder. Stop associating video game you don't like with pedophiles, or it's going to eventually be you under the knife.
Mandalore: It's getting dark. We better prepare, those cannibals might be coming back. Ross: I wonder if we should present ourselves as creator gods or just elemental gods.
Me and my wife did a playthough about a year ago. We made it through 70 in game days before completing the story. In those 70 days we built an absolute fortress on the beach and had several pitched battles against armies of mutants. Catapults, seige towers, enough snare traps to stop the Normandy invasion. Good times.
Having just stopped playing this game after completing my intricate peninsula-wide mass transit system via a network of ziplines and glider towers (form the deck of the yacht to the cliffs at the base of the mountain in just under 3 minutes, or your money back!), I am so happy to see this showing up today.
@@MickSwanson Honestly? I just might. A friend and I literally spent months on it (it's a Survival game - no Creative help), and we're pretty proud of our ridiculous over-engineered project. Might start by recording individual "routes" rather than one giant walk through, because there's a lot to show.
I'll never forget my fear when I saw the war party coming up the hill with what I thought were torches or flamming tennis balls. Only to realize I threw so many molotovs at them they learned to make them. Also, FISH TRAPS?!
@Gabriel Patrick yes and no. If you raise hostility high enough, new mutants start to appear. One of them are fire mutants, which are the only type of mutants that use projectiles, which are fire bombs
The Molatov Cannibals suck at aiming tho half the time you can make them hit their own tribe members, the issue is when you aren't safe at a base and they gang up on you while the other fucker pelts you with fire.
The Forest Dad: Can easily lift 200+ pounds of freshly cut logs while still being able to sprint and/or jump. Also The Forest Dad: *gets knocked by a malnourished cannibal*
@@quitkid8727 Not sure how much leverage you're getting out of lifting several logs that are each twice your length onto your shoulder like bags of rice, or how it lets you then run around like you're not carrying body crushing amounts of mass. Sprinting and jumping are completely out of the question for actual loggers with the physical conditioning to carry logs for a living, let alone when carrying several or by a guy with a complete dadbod who shouldn't even be able to lift or carry a single log in the first place. If your character is that strong you should be built like a Norse god and going around cleaving cannibals and mutants like they're nothing instead of struggling to make clean cuts and needing repeated heavy swings to dismember them, let alone getting thrown off-balance because the 90-pound cannibal with kuru smacked you with the force of your average bulimic teenager.
@@KaleidosXXI Yeah. Any dude physically capable of hauling that amount of weight for prolonged periods even with the omission of sprinting/jumping should be able slap an emaciated hobo to the shadow realm.
@@KaleidosXXI there’s a technique to getting heavy cylindrical loads on your shoulder. Once it’s on, it’s a lot easier to carry since it’s supported by your core and legs instead of just your arms. Still fucking heavy but a lot easier to manage. Source: I move a lot of dense handmade rugs at work
@@bedsidekiller8782 tbf i played it with a friend some days ago for the first time since 2015/2016, was really disappointed, still feels like back then with marginally more content
They're even both a kind of axe. I hadn't seen anything about this game since v0.01 in like 2012 or whatever when it was in alpha, but that howl at the beginning of Mandalore's video immediately made me think of Bone Tomahawk. There has to be some inspiration there. The cannibals even look kinda similar to the ones in Bone Tomahawk.
Ace so couple of months some smash players got exposed for grooming children and a lot of people came out and everyone was shocked and the community went crazy from it and a player zer0 got dropped from his org and is looked in disgust by the entire community
"You can also play this in VR." I'm a The Forest veteran, and nothing in the game scares me anymore. But when I played it in VR... I screamed with genuine terror, before chopping cannibals up while screaming "DIE, DIE, CRUCIFY!"
The Forest is such an important game to me. I'll never forget the time me and my friend spent on the island. Two dads searching for their son, living on a raft in the lake, dressed in white robes and wielding katanas. We weren't afraid of the mutants, they were afraid of us. Spinning with flaming air refresher bottles and chopping up cannibals with our axes to the tune of the 80s soundtrack.
Hear me out, maybe the cannibals were the researchers children? After the outbreak in the lab, the inhabitants were chased off to the caves. Not being able to find out the exit in maze like cave (or it being blocked off, idk) they resorted into cannibalism. Some didn't want to, so they starved to death resulting in the mass of dead bodies. After years passed, they found the exit but by than they went coocoo after too much human meat so uga buga monkey see monkey do time. Some monsters escaped from the lab, reproduced in the caves, so that might explain the monsters in the caves and how the cannibals can live with some of them. Or idk, fucking alien made everyone go wheeee. Its 5am here.
I thought of that being a possibility too, but it would be too soon timeline wise since the lab has HDMI cameras and a lot of modern equipment, plus Megan Cross was still fresh enough to be revived properly. Even if the device completely restored your flesh too there are a lot of dead scientists in the lab that aren't too long dead and you can even eat their cafeteria food they left in a rush. I can only hope the sequel clears some things up unless I missed something major, but I scoured everywhere.
There's proof that some crhistian people were in the island, and they were hunted by the canibals, we know that because of some draws about the mutants and stories So probably the canibals are the natives The mutants idk
I thought the natives were either an original population used for previous experiments...or they were the failed experimental subjects (from previous plane 'crashes') that developed into a 'society' on it's own.
Fun fact: It's only cetain part of human meat that induce psychological damage/illness (as long as you are morally fine with eating someone) such as the brain. The brain induces an rare illness called Kuru (which is either Mad Cow disease or at least linked to, I can't remember), a prion disease.
@@crispypeepohole69 I don't know...I seem to recall that human meat can cause 'The Hunger' which in insatiable...at least according to that documentary 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia'.
The sound really is top notch. The paranoia you feel when listening to the violently rustling trees on windy dark nights and the tranquility of sunny early mornings in this game is absolutely fascinating. A good pair of headphones is an absolute must!
I remember my best moment playing this game. My friend and I finally set up camp right before the first night. We were building some walls around but we both tabbed out of the game to look up some stuff in the games wiki. We tab back in around 5 minutes later, and as we look up, there are about 6 or so cannibals just STARING at us. They don't move, they don't make a sound. They just stared at us for a good minute and then ran off into the woods. That still scares me to this day, I love it. Btw, I caught that Scooby Doo music at 22:04 LOL
Yeah they stare from a distance. I remember noticing them while hoarding luggage near the plane after like 3 minutes of thinking they were trees. There was like 8 of them. Super creepy. Once too I had my bow cranked at them, keeping them at a distance since they tend to back off when you aim at them. Finger slipped off mouse, headshotted a mom by mistake, instant kill. They cried over her body and kept me away while some of them dragged it off into the shrubs. I knew I was fucked by then. And I was. Night after night the aggro increased tenfold and they clawed at my shit until they got me. All I could do was scramble to rebuild during the day and fend off disgusting abominations throughout the night. The AI might be a little glitchy but god damn do they bring life to the game.
@@SoilentGr33n Always loved the AI in this game, the fact that you can effectively teach the enemies that you aren't a threat (at least the non-mutated enemies) is brilliant cause most people just attack on sight since they want to keep themselves safe, unknowingly making the journey much harder down the line since they pissed off everyone long ago
@@aaronoconnor4803 Yes. I played the awesome coop quite a bit with friends and at first we would literally go on hunting missions to bring back bones and whatnot. Eventually we realized we were going nowhere with the actual game because all we were doing was fending off pissed of savages and effectively losing the armors we built by killing their husbands and wives. It was a doomed cycle but it was kinda late to figure this out as the game became so fucking hard we decided to let it go and start over. The second time we knocked off the aggression to the point where we left meat dryers outside the base to give them food and dead animals. Not sure it did anything but we liked the role play and they were a lot more manageable. We tried to kill only as a last resort. It felt like SWAT 4 instead of Rainbow 6 if that makes sense, and it was also ten times more fun because the tension during encounters was insane. I really think the Forest is the definition of a hidden gem and it's extremely impressive that it was made by such a small team.
I think being red scares them because the doctor who stole Timmy was red, and if he was willing to take a small, defenseless child, who knows what he did to the cannibals. They probably think you ARE the doctor when you paint yourself red, and are afraid of what unspeakable horrors this man, bathed in blood, did to them.
@@bigmikey5575 Not sure how you interpreted that as you being correct when you have it completely backwards and your assumption is wrong. They're not afraid of the doctor nor do they mistake you for him when you're painted. They fear the color red itself, not some red man who did "unspeakable horrors" to them. Also, willingness to sacrifice a child to save their own child doesn't translate into any kind of rampant sadistic behavior or willingness to inflict mass horror to an entire population, it's not even a particularly immoral decision all things considered and plenty of people would make the same choice if they could.
@Just a normal nazgul the 90s one is okay and actually brought most people to the fantastic manga. Also the music in the anime is pretty well fitting in my opinion.
12:04 Pro Tip : The Burning Rock is for you to throw or slingshot at The Cannibals. Molotovs and more efficient and deadly so these are more risk for less reward.
"When I cover another early access title that got released." Mandy you already reviewed Factorio. You just don't remember because you weren't on your meds
"HE'S DESTROYING THE PEOPLE-JERKY!" Jesus man, he's probably trying to grab some part of one or several of his family members so he can arrange some kind of funeral. Show some sort of civility, won't you?
The juxtaposition from "haha funny jokes about music and animals" to "there are cannibals on this island and you will think they are breaking into your house right this fucking second" back to taking out your feelings about quarantine while the Berserk OST plays in the background... is honestly pretty genius. Incredibly effective, thank you for another entertaining and really insightful video!
The reason you are so good at survival is because Eric Lebanc is a survival show TV star in the story You play as Eric Also you can "be friends" with the tribals by leaving them and the trees alone
Hello, i'm not a native english speaker and i dont get the joke nor reference if there is any. I love playing smash and i know what grooming is, but what is meant with "the wrong kind of grooming"?
@@personontheinternet629 grooming can refer to personal hygiene or methods predators use to abuse children. Been some gross people in the smash community. As in they ain't washing but they are being creepos.
I've actually never had those issues with the animals. They never have stuck around for me. My main source of food were turtles because if you built a base on the right spot, they were a constant and slow source that crawled in a straight line
10:39 you can actually be peaceful with them, but its very hard to pull off. you have to never hit them or ran away from them, and dont turn your back on them, but you can block their attacks. After several encounters like this they'll become 'peaceful'..sort of. They'll still run up to you but never hit you.
@@buildings_and_food If they're still charging at you, that's not peace. It just makes it sound like some values got messed up somewhere. Considering the bugs with the animal AI, it's not much of a stretch.
@@thomaswood8405 fair. doesn't seem any more likely to me to be one than the other, though. even the idea that mutant AI defaults to an aggression level of what sounds like 1 or 0, which = never initiates attacks, is interesting and possibly intentional
@@thomaswood8405 Okay so the tribals don't attack you but the starving ferals will; but the tribals respect your restraint from the feral's attacks because the tribals themselves only kill the ferals when they have to, that's *why* there are roaming ferals in the first place
I remember in the early build blocking any block any type of damage, including fall damage. So you jump into the hole and just block and then you are safe
The forest was the source of many a tale within my friend group. It's a pretty simple game, but things can get off the rails real fast. Good for bonding with the boys.
Exactly! We had a blast of a time playing this game with a few friends. The story was eh, but the cannibal AI really spooked us at times. The first time we slaughtered one and saw another tribesman drag him away, how tribes react differently to which member you killed.. Encountering those mutants for the first time, pretty unexpectedly. The truly creepy cave crawls. All pretty amazing. But the best part, one we still regularly reference in other games, was our custom effigy called 'Plz don't look at my PP.' It was a two legs sideways, two arms inwards and a head on top. Top tier stuff.
I loved this game for many reasons but my favorite was: You can become the stalker and you can become the "thing" that comes out of the darkness and kills and drags them off. In this game, if you've got the skill and nerve to be a hunter, you can flip the "who's the big, bad monster" factor on the AIs and you get this "Wolverine" mentality because the game starts off where, if at all possible, you 'avoid' the mutated life. To a small degree, they will fear you because they don't really react well to 'you' coming out of the darkness and killing one (while the other doesn't originally notice) and they freak out. Man-traps, in this game, are really fun as well because (again) it's you hunting them and their reactions are great. To set one on fire and watch them slam into each other, and the other catch fire, i laughed hard on that one. Yeah, this game allows you to go from the hunted to the hunter. And yes, the sound on this game is KING because you can sit and listen and hear things happening, especially them running by or screaming If you want a "good" VR experience, forego the VR controls and only use the headset and use classic controls (like in Battle Zone Gold). The VR controls are OH SO SLOW and clunky and you get dead WAY too quickly. The mutants remind me of the sand people and when Obi-Wan says, "They startle quickly but soon will be back...and in greater numbers".....that's these guys.
Well, that’s just a shade on the side of scary. Let’s hope this is a sufficient outlet to keep your inner psychopath satisfied and that it doesn’t ever get out into reality. Cheers.
Mandalore made a great choice here. I can totally picture dropping off Ross Scott at Cannibal Island, then checking up on him a month later to find him sitting on his Iron Throne in his fortress, wearing a samurai suit made of human bones and being worshipped as the Spirit-of-Permanent-Shouting. I'd bet he'd be cool with his new life and only ask you to bring some cookies as tribute.
I completely agree with how much more potential this game had, I’m looking forward to the sequel in hopes that the devs will bring out that potential in Sons of the Forest
I ran into you though your mystery of the droods review and man your humor really hits home for me. It's kinda dry and I love that. Also A+ for deadly premonition music!
I remember when it was in early access and me and a buddy got to the bottom of the pit, went through the water tunnels and got to the door before the keycard was implemented. We were both in complete shock, and it raised so many questions and got me excited for the next update.
Was midway through editing a video and had to take a poo. So as usually I sat down and found a video to help with the flow of my bowel movements. I saw this...a review of the Forrest. To myself I said “hey you played the Forrest and got a good amount of content, wouldn’t it be interesting to see what other people have to say” and then to myself again I said “yes. Yes it would” so as I began the journey of my bowel movement the video began. Great and solid intro and caught my eye because of the music. Well done I must say. As the video went on I found myself to still be on the toilet done with my morning poo, yet I was still intrigued in this moving picture I had discovered. As time went on I found myself smiling and agreeing with all points throughout. And the way the scenes and funny moments and cuts from various situations were all immaculately placed within one another was tremendously well done. This...this is what a morning poo should be. I thoroughly enjoyed this and I do hope to see more in my new future. As a fan of the Forrest and fellow content creator I do hope to see your review of the Forrest 2 when it’s finally released..in the meantime stay frosty. Bravo 6 going dark....
Major studios aren't ran by developers or other creatives, they're run by people with an MBA. People with an MBA are physically incapable of doing anything "new", "unproven", dare I even say "Risky".
Most definitely will sleep on the Speaker for the Dead allusion, but I won't. Honestly a super good example of a way they could have done the tribals and mutants better.
The Forest still felt for me a more entertaining game than a lot of games that are from Big Companies. Maybe it's the genre that makes me to play more out of it, or maybe it is because the game is shockingly creative than most premises. The Bugs are such a let down that I try to hold down myself to keep playing, but at the same time, it has that Skyrim feeling that it's a buggy mess, but it's a good buggy mess of a game. Maybe I'll pick it up later this year, but I'll save myself that feeling of return to a game until the sequel comes out, which I actually wait with a bit of hype, I don't expect a lot of fixes, but I expect the decency that they may not just re sell the same game with new enemies. They have a lot of recycling they could do, but I really hope they do much better since they have much more freedom and resources than when they first started to develop The Forest.
I played this game when it was first released and it was a buggy mess with performance problem. 2 years later i downloaded it again and played with some friends , I must say i was so surprise how the game changed in a really good way: better optimization, new things to explore, less bugs(the bugs Mandalore met on games, i rarely meet them but yeah there are few buggy things and desync problem in multiplayer). Game is really good with a small dev team like that. I finished the game alone and with my friends multiple times, each time we play we found a new thing. I would recommend u pick it up on sale, maybe invite some friends to explore things together.
I got the impression that the obelisk created the cannibals and mutants, possibly as a side effect, and Sahara was just studying it. Sahara does have notes as if they're creating the creepy mutants, but I think it's just them taking notes on how they are created, possibly with some test subjects of their own as well.
@@Nuxi10. I mean alot of mine actually did Rimworld was worth the price before release and then he made a big push in the last year and added a bunch of really upgraded features never even promised And he's still doing content drops Empyrion just released out of EA Banished was a good EA game My rule of thumb was only buy an early access game if the game *as it is right now* is worth the price I don't pay for hope, but I'll pay a discount for an unfinished project
As usual you never fail in the music department Mandalore ! I loved the whistle theme background music so much that 5 months later it’s still on a perpetual chill loop in my head, nice one
Definitely one of my favourite survival games, if not my favourite, if only for the atmosphere (I love The Descent movies). Berserk and Deadly Premonition music much appreciated, BTW.
Funny I did the exact opposite. Loved setting up a farm on the large island and trying to be as peaceful as possible with the cannibals while using a fleet of small rafts to do raids/expeditions all over the island while evading increasing patrols.
You got a talent for giving informative and entertaining videos that play on a speed were you really need to pay attention to see/hear it all. Impressive

Downhill?
Eh, agree to disagree there. It's still great, way I see it.
I remember my first time playing, I set up my base at the beach right in front of the plane crash site. A couple of days in, I look at one of the cliffs and I see a small group of cannibals just watching me from afar. That's when I realized how great/scary the AI was. I could have never looked up at that specific cliff and saw them, but they would have seen me. Makes me think how many times I haven't seen them.
Some of the worst (best) interactions I’ve had were at night after building a pretty big base with a watch tower
I look down and see one of the spotlight guys walking around from afar, can’t even see his body just the light he casts
He stops, facing my general direction, I’m not lit up at all so I’m not sure if he actually sees me, and then he frantically runs away into the night. Maybe him running away at that moment was just a coincidence, maybe he was going to tell his friends

@@quitkid8727 Not sure how much leverage you're getting out of lifting several logs that are each twice your length onto your shoulder like bags of rice, or how it lets you then run around like you're not carrying body crushing amounts of mass. Sprinting and jumping are completely out of the question for actual loggers with the physical conditioning to carry logs for a living, let alone when carrying several or by a guy with a complete dadbod who shouldn't even be able to lift or carry a single log in the first place.
If your character is that strong you should be built like a Norse god and going around cleaving cannibals and mutants like they're nothing instead of struggling to make clean cuts and needing repeated heavy swings to dismember them, let alone getting thrown off-balance because the 90-pound cannibal with kuru smacked you with the force of your average bulimic teenager.

I can't believe you didn't mention the fact you accidentally started building your big fort base like 100 yards from one of their "sacred trees" once
"They know if the singing stops the pulses do to" - man you scary sometimes
Hear me out, maybe the cannibals were the researchers children?
After the outbreak in the lab, the inhabitants were chased off to the caves. Not being able to find out the exit in maze like cave (or it being blocked off, idk) they resorted into cannibalism. Some didn't want to, so they starved to death resulting in the mass of dead bodies. After years passed, they found the exit but by than they went coocoo after too much human meat so uga buga monkey see monkey do time. Some monsters escaped from the lab, reproduced in the caves, so that might explain the monsters in the caves and how the cannibals can live with some of them.
Or idk, fucking alien made everyone go wheeee. Its 5am here.
I thought of that being a possibility too, but it would be too soon timeline wise since the lab has HDMI cameras and a lot of modern equipment, plus Megan Cross was still fresh enough to be revived properly. Even if the device completely restored your flesh too there are a lot of dead scientists in the lab that aren't too long dead and you can even eat their cafeteria food they left in a rush. I can only hope the sequel clears some things up unless I missed something major, but I scoured everywhere.
There's proof that some crhistian people were in the island, and they were hunted by the canibals, we know that because of some draws about the mutants and stories
So probably the canibals are the natives
The mutants idk
I thought the natives were either an original population used for previous experiments...or they were the failed experimental subjects (from previous plane 'crashes') that developed into a 'society' on it's own.
Fun fact: It's only cetain part of human meat that induce psychological damage/illness (as long as you are morally fine with eating someone) such as the brain. The brain induces an rare illness called Kuru (which is either Mad Cow disease or at least linked to, I can't remember), a prion disease.
@@crispypeepohole69 I don't know...I seem to recall that human meat can cause 'The Hunger' which in insatiable...at least according to that documentary 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia'.
The sound really is top notch. The paranoia you feel when listening to the violently rustling trees on windy dark nights and the tranquility of sunny early mornings in this game is absolutely fascinating.

I remember my best moment playing this game. My friend and I finally set up camp right before the first night. We were building some walls around but we both tabbed out of the game to look up some stuff in the games wiki. We tab back in around 5 minutes later, and as we look up, there are about 6 or so cannibals just STARING at us. They don't move, they don't make a sound. They just stared at us for a good minute and then ran off into the woods. That still scares me to this day, I love it.
Btw, I caught that Scooby Doo music at 22:04 LOL
Maybe they too where looking up stuff in the wiki
@@PadaV4 "How to deal with land invaders 101" lol
Yeah they stare from a distance. I remember noticing them while hoarding luggage near the plane after like 3 minutes of thinking they were trees. There was like 8 of them. Super creepy.
Once too I had my bow cranked at them, keeping them at a distance since they tend to back off when you aim at them. Finger slipped off mouse, headshotted a mom by mistake, instant kill. They cried over her body and kept me away while some of them dragged it off into the shrubs. I knew I was fucked by then. And I was. Night after night the aggro increased tenfold and they clawed at my shit until they got me. All I could do was scramble to rebuild during the day and fend off disgusting abominations throughout the night. The AI might be a little glitchy but god damn do they bring life to the game.
@@SoilentGr33n Always loved the AI in this game, the fact that you can effectively teach the enemies that you aren't a threat (at least the non-mutated enemies) is brilliant cause most people just attack on sight since they want to keep themselves safe, unknowingly making the journey much harder down the line since they pissed off everyone long ago
@@aaronoconnor4803 Yes. I played the awesome coop quite a bit with friends and at first we would literally go on hunting missions to bring back bones and whatnot. Eventually we realized we were going nowhere with the actual game because all we were doing was fending off pissed of savages and effectively losing the armors we built by killing their husbands and wives. It was a doomed cycle but it was kinda late to figure this out as the game became so fucking hard we decided to let it go and start over. The second time we knocked off the aggression to the point where we left meat dryers outside the base to give them food and dead animals. Not sure it did anything but we liked the role play and they were a lot more manageable. We tried to kill only as a last resort. It felt like SWAT 4 instead of Rainbow 6 if that makes sense, and it was also ten times more fun because the tension during encounters was insane.
I really think the Forest is the definition of a hidden gem and it's extremely impressive that it was made by such a small team.
I think being red scares them because the doctor who stole Timmy was red, and if he was willing to take a small, defenseless child, who knows what he did to the cannibals. They probably think you ARE the doctor when you paint yourself red, and are afraid of what unspeakable horrors this man, bathed in blood, did to them.
There's lore that indicates that the doctor intentionally conditioned them to fear red to control them better.
@@TheShadow7771 so your saying I'm correct
@@bigmikey5575 Not sure how you interpreted that as you being correct when you have it completely backwards and your assumption is wrong. They're not afraid of the doctor nor do they mistake you for him when you're painted. They fear the color red itself, not some red man who did "unspeakable horrors" to them.
Also, willingness to sacrifice a child to save their own child doesn't translate into any kind of rampant sadistic behavior or willingness to inflict mass horror to an entire population, it's not even a particularly immoral decision all things considered and plenty of people would make the same choice if they could.

The forest was the source of many a tale within my friend group. It's a pretty simple game, but things can get off the rails real fast. Good for bonding with the boys.
Exactly! We had a blast of a time playing this game with a few friends. The story was eh, but the cannibal AI really spooked us at times. The first time we slaughtered one and saw another tribesman drag him away, how tribes react differently to which member you killed.. Encountering those mutants for the first time, pretty unexpectedly. The truly creepy cave crawls. All pretty amazing.
But the best part, one we still regularly reference in other games, was our custom effigy called 'Plz don't look at my PP.' It was a two legs sideways, two arms inwards and a head on top. Top tier stuff.

@@maximeteppe7627 Well I think you best change that ;)
I loved this game for many reasons but my favorite was: You can become the stalker and you can become the "thing" that comes out of the darkness and kills and drags them off.
In this game, if you've got the skill and nerve to be a hunter, you can flip the "who's the big, bad monster" factor on the AIs and you get this "Wolverine" mentality because the game starts off where, if at all possible, you 'avoid' the mutated life.
To a small degree, they will fear you because they don't really react well to 'you' coming out of the darkness and killing one (while the other doesn't originally notice) and they freak out. Man-traps, in this game, are really fun as well because (again) it's you hunting them and their reactions are great.
To set one on fire and watch them slam into each other, and the other catch fire, i laughed hard on that one.
Yeah, this game allows you to go from the hunted to the hunter. And yes, the sound on this game is KING because you can sit and listen and hear things happening, especially them running by or screaming
If you want a "good" VR experience, forego the VR controls and only use the headset and use classic controls (like in Battle Zone Gold). The VR controls are OH SO SLOW and clunky and you get dead WAY too quickly.
The mutants remind me of the sand people and when Obi-Wan says, "They startle quickly but soon will be back...and in greater numbers".....that's these guys.
Well, that’s just a shade on the side of scary. Let’s hope this is a sufficient outlet to keep your inner psychopath satisfied and that it doesn’t ever get out into reality. Cheers.

I ran into you though your mystery of the droods review and man your humor really hits home for me. It's kinda dry and I love that.
Also A+ for deadly premonition music!
-Sewer Surfin' not even 2 minutes into the video
Oh Mandy, what did Druids do to you?
I bet Ross Scott would be a great survivalist
He's already an expert on surviving the Cordyceps...
I remember when it was in early access and me and a buddy got to the bottom of the pit, went through the water tunnels and got to the door before the keycard was implemented. We were both in complete shock, and it raised so many questions and got me excited for the next update.
Was midway through editing a video and had to take a poo. So as usually I sat down and found a video to help with the flow of my bowel movements. I saw this...a review of the Forrest. To myself I said “hey you played the Forrest and got a good amount of content, wouldn’t it be interesting to see what other people have to say” and then to myself again I said “yes. Yes it would” so as I began the journey of my bowel movement the video began. Great and solid intro and caught my eye because of the music. Well done I must say. As the video went on I found myself to still be on the toilet done with my morning poo, yet I was still intrigued in this moving picture I had discovered. As time went on I found myself smiling and agreeing with all points throughout. And the way the scenes and funny moments and cuts from various situations were all immaculately placed within one another was tremendously well done. This...this is what a morning poo should be. I thoroughly enjoyed this and I do hope to see more in my new future. As a fan of the Forrest and fellow content creator I do hope to see your review of the Forrest 2 when it’s finally released..in the meantime stay frosty. Bravo 6 going dark....
Why can't a major studio develop a game with this level of creativity?
Sometimes, Grasshopper, the answer you seek is within the question you ask.
Skill issue
Major studios aren't ran by developers or other creatives, they're run by people with an MBA.
People with an MBA are physically incapable of doing anything "new", "unproven", dare I even say "Risky".
Me: Why is this music so goddam familiar
Me 20 seconds later: DAMMM that was the beserk theme uff brings back memories
Thanks, wasn't clicking today for whatever reason.
Most definitely will sleep on the Speaker for the Dead allusion, but I won't. Honestly a super good example of a way they could have done the tribals and mutants better.
19:57 that deadly premonition music is really damn fitting for some reason
The Forest still felt for me a more entertaining game than a lot of games that are from Big Companies. Maybe it's the genre that makes me to play more out of it, or maybe it is because the game is shockingly creative than most premises.
The Bugs are such a let down that I try to hold down myself to keep playing, but at the same time, it has that Skyrim feeling that it's a buggy mess, but it's a good buggy mess of a game.
Maybe I'll pick it up later this year, but I'll save myself that feeling of return to a game until the sequel comes out, which I actually wait with a bit of hype, I don't expect a lot of fixes, but I expect the decency that they may not just re sell the same game with new enemies. They have a lot of recycling they could do, but I really hope they do much better since they have much more freedom and resources than when they first started to develop The Forest.
That’s because big companies would never pick up a game like this. Survival horror is dead, remember?
I played this game when it was first released and it was a buggy mess with performance problem. 2 years later i downloaded it again and played with some friends , I must say i was so surprise how the game changed in a really good way: better optimization, new things to explore, less bugs(the bugs Mandalore met on games, i rarely meet them but yeah there are few buggy things and desync problem in multiplayer). Game is really good with a small dev team like that. I finished the game alone and with my friends multiple times, each time we play we found a new thing. I would recommend u pick it up on sale, maybe invite some friends to explore things together.
eyyyy, Chile
I got the impression that the obelisk created the cannibals and mutants, possibly as a side effect, and Sahara was just studying it. Sahara does have notes as if they're creating the creepy mutants, but I think it's just them taking notes on how they are created, possibly with some test subjects of their own as well.
Oh look, it's the first game ever that came out on Early access.
And the last...
I think that award goes to 7 Days To Die
@@andyc7777 did Rust ever officially release
Factorio came out of E.A
@@Nuxi10. I mean alot of mine actually did
Rimworld was worth the price before release and then he made a big push in the last year and added a bunch of really upgraded features never even promised
And he's still doing content drops
Empyrion just released out of EA
Banished was a good EA game
My rule of thumb was only buy an early access game if the game *as it is right now* is worth the price
I don't pay for hope, but I'll pay a discount for an unfinished project
Deep Rock Galactic
17:03 when the Berserk music start playing . i felt that 😔✊
I think it's a reference to "Silence Wench" video tho
@@houjouin8819 what vidoe?
@@CoolSs just search silence wench on YT, it's short 13s clip :)
@@houjouin8819 ahhhhh that meme of the dog who wish not be horrny anymore. I can't believe it want over my head.
As usual you never fail in the music department Mandalore ! I loved the whistle theme background music so much that 5 months later it’s still on a perpetual chill loop in my head, nice one
Definitely one of my favourite survival games, if not my favourite, if only for the atmosphere (I love The Descent movies).
Berserk and Deadly Premonition music much appreciated, BTW.
The Speaker for the Dead reference was appreciated! One of my favorite books from that series.
After having a blast with the underwater survival of subnautica, I want to survive in the forest now
Funny I did the exact opposite. Loved setting up a farm on the large island and trying to be as peaceful as possible with the cannibals while using a fleet of small rafts to do raids/expeditions all over the island while evading increasing patrols.
You got a talent for giving informative and entertaining videos that play on a speed were you really need to pay attention to see/hear it all. Impressive
3:40 >When your sons Lego's fall over the forest and the locals find them the hard way
Ah yes just what I wanted for my birthday. A review of Timmy rescue simulator. Thanks Mandy!!
4:30 did you just jump-kick a tree!? That's the power of 80's montage music right there.
