If you played the original forest, you'll be disappointed to realize that they've taken the same exact engine and same exact dynamics, placed a 30 dollar price tag on it, and resold it to the public.

The original forest was a good idea, the antagonist of the game was frightening and that was it's best selling point. They've included new NPC's that arrive at such sporadic times - by the time you see them, it's no longer a creek in the woods, it's just them standing there until they're engaged.

I know what you're thinking, "Tsunami, it's an early access game, early access games take time to get traction and they need money to do that!"

I get it. I understand the concept of early access games but the original Forest has been around for years, the entirety of it's duration it was deemed "Early Access" and if you ask me, it's still an incomplete product. Them selling another incomplete product has further encouraged me to believe there's not going to be any further improvement, not within a relevant timespan.

Anyways, save your money, to the developers, I wish you guys the best of luck, I am just a consumer and can't imagine the problems you face, but sometimes, things don't work out. I hope to be prompted later and told that I was wrong when you guys complete the product once and for all. If that's the case I will come and replace my review with a positive one.
