Played both betas and now the live version is out!

Gameplay-wise I still really like how it plays like a Gundam vs Gundam game and less like Gundam Battle Operation.

Character customization is fun. Make em jiggle. but outside of entering or ejecting from the mech, you don't do much with it unless you want to walk around the base and use photo mode

I haven't touch the 6v6 modes because I'm not too big of a fan of that but Mashmak has been really fun and has been adjusted accordingly since the beta. Maybe beam autocannons are still OP but I havent seen them much yet.

Microtransactions exist but theyre mostly for cosmetics or if you want to buy boxes in the marketplace for mods but the mods only take effect in Mashmak. I guess you can also use it to buy the 3 locked mechs but you can also unlock those for free slowly if you do missions. If you're a 6v6 enjoyer, microtransactions wont affect the gameplay at all

Hopefully this game goes far, i've been following it for a long time now and would love to see it succeed

Stays mostly faithful to the original in the early stages. Requires comboing and staggering to do meaningful damage.

But holy moly PLEASE optimise the game so it can run better.

I'll be keeping my eye out for the official release. The character creation is good, always like the sliders. Mashmak was a great addition for those not interested in full on PVP.

I did not think a melee attack dialogue choice would perma kill my party member but it did.

thank you for the great achievement badges

This mushroom game never dies

tldr; SotF has potential to be a legendary survival crafting sim

First off, I'm not going to be overly strict on it because it's still the first week of release at the time of writing this. The devs should hopefully check out all the feedback and see what they can change about the game going forward.

Sons of the Forest has potential, there were so many new features and QoL changes compared to the first game. They also removed some things from the first game that I enjoyed so that does suck. Having Kelvin/Virginia for solo play would be massively helpful for gathering resources, fighting off hordes of enemies, etc. The new cannibals and monsters are always cool to see, and the fact that they are 2 opposing factions that could fight each other if you ever see it in the wild is also interesting.

I played 2 player Co-Op and managed to finish the story campaign in about 16 hours. I didn't speed run it or anything but once i had my base set up and enough supplies, I just ventured out to all the green checkpoints and a couple caves and finished the story after reaching the last green checkpoint. The story itself isn't coherent and even with all the paper trails they left, I think I was only able to understand a bit of what happened BUT I think the first game had that issue too.

All in all, the game is great, hopefully they'll flesh out the story a bit more. The gameplay is great for people that want to just play beyond the story campaign. It needs some tweaking and additional content but that's not surprising for a early access game on release week.

EDIT: I forgot to mention but the visuals are absolutely stunning

Fun game to play if you want to play some yugioh again. Waiting for a casual mode where theres less sweaty gamers playing the same meta decks of the month. Hit diamond 1 once and that made me mald hard

I wanna play it again

I miss the red item that reduces your cooldown by 1 second on crit
