The premise, in the publisher's words
The game begins with the player Eric Leblanc riding in an airplane with his son Timmy Leblanc when the plane mysteriously crashes on a remote island. The player and his son manage to survive the crash, but the player watches helplessly as his son is kidnapped by a man in red war paint. In addition to trying to survive in the wild and fending off hostile wildlife and feral, cannibalistic mutants, the player searches the peninsula for his son.

How it was received

How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 16.7 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 28.3 hrs, roughly 1.7 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Dual-Core 2.4 GHz, 4 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 5GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
The Forest launched on 30 April 2018, within three weeks of God of War, God of War (2018), Frostpunk and Beat Saber. It reviewed better than 1 of the 4. It arrived 5 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: God of War, God of War (2018), Frostpunk, Beat Saber.
