Sons of the forest is a definite improvement to it's prequel, and succeeds at being a truly terrifying survival-horror game and not a slightly scary, bugged albeit very fun survival experience like it's predecessor. The mutants look disturbing and slimy as ever, weather they be the painted tribesmen lurking behind the trees watching your every move, or the shambling pale horrors gasping in the caves. The ambience is very immersive with great sound design that chills you to the bone, all the while looking very beautiful. This sequel introduces many great new mechanics like a highly customisable building system, a buddy system to assist you and great AI that leaves a lot of potential for future updates and is great even at release! If you liked The Forest, you will almost certainly enjoy the "son" of the titular game and i strongly encourage you to give it a look.
