No Man’s Sky vs The Forest
No Man’s Sky
No Man’s Sky has had a really rough start but thankfully the game developers have the integrity and the determination to continue the development of their game and honestly, despite the fact that the game still needs plenty of work, it has improved a lot since it was first released. The game is a sci-fi-themed, procedurally-generated planet and space exploration game where you can not only gather resources to craft and build your base but also learn how to communicate with sentient aliens or hunt non-sentient ones. You can also literally play any role you like, be it as a trader, an explorer or a bounty hunter.The galaxy itself feels very much alive due to the many factors in play - space pirates plundering unwary traders, various factions fighting to secure new territories, and more, aside from the fact that you'll be playing with other players in the same galaxy. Due to its procedural generation, every new planet you land on will always have a whole new ecosystem that you have never seen before, but like many players have noted, you still get the feeling that the creatures and the planet itself look familiar enough to discredit whatever differences they have. However, the best part about the game is perhaps its fragmented storyline - a plot that has to be assembled piece by piece as you explore the many worlds the game has to offer.
Many fans of the game has touted No Man's Sky as a first-person Starbound, but whether that's true or not, well, it's up to you to decide. The game can be pretty costly to buy at its original price considering that the game feels a lot like a work-in-progress, but if you can get it cheap, then the game is worth the experience.
The Forest
The Forest is a survival horror game where you play as the lone survivor of a plane crash only to find yourself in a mysterious jungle infested with man-eating mutants. To survive, you'll need to build a shelter, explore the forest to seek out vital resources and defend yourself from any mutants you come across. There is a pretty in-depth crafting system to help you survive in the wilderness that The Forest brings. You can even play the game through a stealthier approach, opting to avoid any enemies rather than engaging them head-on.You can even play cooperatively with up to 7 of your friends or head over to the multiplayer server and try surviving against other possibly hostile survivors as well. So, do you think you can make a living for yourself in The Forest and possibly find a way to escape from it? Play The Forest now and find out!
