Went exploring a cave fully equipped
Went exploring a cave fully equipped. Made it out barely alive and lost most of my equipment. It was night and I was miles away from my base. Had to cross the forest in pitch dark because using any light source makes you instantly a target. Could hear cannibal laughing and running all around me. Faraway on the hills cannibals patrols with torches where marching towards my hiding spot in the darkness of the forest. Had to hide underwater. Arrived alive to my camp at dawn. I cried and went to sleep. Woke up in the evening hearing heavy breathing outside my window. A cannibal was staring at me. They had followed me the day before and now they knew where I was hiding. Something roared. Roars got closer. More cannibals arrived and laughed at me hiding alone in a small hut. I closed the game in panic. 10 out of 10

I generally hate survival games
I generally hate survival games. You know the ones i mean, the ones that became almost overnight megahits a few years back like Ark, Rust etc. Anyone who's tried to actually play one knows spawn campers and the shoot on sight mentality makes it rough without a very large group. I didn't expect to really, truly like this game as even without the PvP I thought it'd be the same tired old grind. Chop down some trees, make a house, blah blah blah. Jesus I was wrong. First thing i noticed is the enemies are actually pretty terrifying. I'd be chopping down a tree or hunting a deer and hear screeching from something that didn't even sound human anymore coming from way too close for comfort only for a mutant cannibal thing to leap out a tree at me and almost give me a heart attack. This isn't something you ever really get used to either. The mutants are unsettling as hell in the best way possible. Sometimes they'll just watch you from the distance, sometimes they'll screech at you without attacking. Even when you expect them to attack, they're stealthy as hell and almost always surprise me. It's also got the typical survival fanfare down to a science. You're next upgrade is always right around the corner, but never easy to come by. Combining that rock solid gameplay loop with terrifying enemies causes The Forest to transcend every other survival game I've ever tried. It's fun, terrifying, and mysterious in the best way possible. Cannot reccomend this game highly enough.
