The Woods (2025)

Decent first time survival crafting game. Pretty straight forward for player direction and objectives.

Really solid survival game with a lot of potential. The forest island has a good atmosphere, and the crafting, building, hunting, and co-op survival elements make it fun to jump into. It’s still Early Access, so there are a few rough edges, but you can tell the developers are building something good here. Definitely worth checking out if you like survival games.

Waste of time for me. Thought it would be fun to play with friends, but it takes so long to even a single wall. Can compare it to minecraft just way more realistic and takes 100x the time to craft anything. waste of time for me. if ur someone whos willing to spend 3 hours to craft the most simple house then go ahead, if ur someone like me who cannot spend that much time for such small progress the game is not for u.

This game has a good narrative and could be fun if its played for a long time, but its not fun for a short time of period type of play. To enjoy this game you will not be able to go to the shower or see your kids. Its more interesting to look at drying paint than play this game. I do not recommend to buy this if ur not ready to play it for 4h straight a day and have no life

this game made my son kill himself and my brother starved i dont know what the creator was thinking when making such a time consuming building system i got bored in the first 30 min u cant make ts up. If hitler was a game developer and had to make building mechanics he would make these. -REP

This game is quite relaxing and fun right now, I don't want to be mean with this review as its still in Early Access and it seems that the devs still have some work to do. I like how the game looks, it has its own unique artstyle that keeps it from being too similar to The Forest, I like the atmosphere, the trees swaying in the wing and the random noises that had me turing my head to see if anything was following me. Gathering resources is fun, I did have some issues trying to find Aloe Vera since it blends in with the environment, but I had no issues with gathering the other resources like Ivy and Sticks. The Building in the game still needs improvement, as it is a little difficult to connect parts of a house to each other and only being able to carry one Log at a time is tedious. There is a way to join the Logs together but everytime I go to pick them up, I end up only grabbing one log. I recommmend this game to those who liked The Forest, also other resource gathering and survival games.
