Horizon Source vs The Forest
Horizon Source
Horizon Source is a battle royale game that many have dubbed as being the ultimate blend of PUBG, Fortnite and Overwatch... though graphics-wise, Fortnite is definitely the major influence. Similar to most games in the genre, you'll be dropped into a map where you'll then battle against other players in hopes of ending up being the last man standing. You can also build structures much like in Fortnite and resources are pretty much plentiful in the game. The gameplay feels a lot better as well - expect to be rewarded with more kills for having a good aim.However, unlike the others, this game only has a 4-man team-based game mode so you can't really play the game solo as of yet. There are other game modes as well, including a zombie mode, but these aren't ready so far. Interestingly, the game also gives you the option of playing in first or third person view. Naturally, playing in third-person can be more advantageous to you since you can see your surroundings better. There are no drivable vehicles in this game though.
Despite the many random bugs, lack of an EU server, some character balancing issue, and broken English, Horizon Source seems to be a real contender on PC against established battle royale titles like PUBG and Fortnite. The game can be incredibly addictive and fun to play. So, if you enjoy playing battle royale games, Horizon Source is a game you'll want to try!
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!
