“enjoyed revenge gameplay and combat satisfaction despite brutal difficulty”
Когда я впервые зашел на территорию каннибалов, меня отпиздили, привязали к дереву и видимо изнасиловали. Но когда нашел пистолет я вернулся взять реванш, а меня опять отпиздили. Мне понравилось

“open world survival gameplay is excellent” (34)
Только этой игре можно рубить каннибалов, а потом жрать их. Я сначала это только и делал, но оказывается в этой игре есть сюжет, который надо проходить, ради приличия я его прошёл, но игра не для этого создана.

[h1]ШТОШ![/h1] [h3]Sons of the Forest - это шедевр выживания, где вы рубите лес с Келвином, стройте базу на века и бегаете от местных обнаженных философов. Игра заслуживает огромного пальца вверх за дикий коктейль из страха, абсурда и вас, в роле инженерного гения.[/h3] [b]Забудьте о спокойном отдыхе на природе.
