Surprised I can't find a thread about this, I just got it on Steam and it seems to be the first survival game that's actually not a steaming pile of dogshit. It's way more realistic than anything I've seen so far and less "game-y", yet somehow better:

-You don't need to eat every 5 seconds, build campfires after every second marshmellow or craft new jeans every 2 minutes. Things wear out at more believable rates.
- You have to build and craft things by putting them together, not just clicking on them point-and-click adventure style (I'm looking at you, Long Dark)
- You start off in a believable setting, not just TROLLOLOLOLOLOLLLOLOL all electricity/navigation/physics stopped working for some reason
-If you get hurt, you actually have to check your body visually to see what go fucked up and how badly, as in real life.

But most importantly, it has a STORY. Some kind of goal to work towards and mystery to uncover, not just survive the mostest.

Any thoughts on this? What's the Kodex Kritical Konsensus?

It doesn't look bad actually. I wonder how much time you spend crafting/building though. That's usually my least favorite part about these survival games.

It's not bad, but suffers from the usual survival game problem of not offering much difficulty after you get past early game. There's food EVERYWHERE in the jungle, and once you have the tools and facilities to process it, staying fed becomes busywork rather than challenge. I assume the natives were meant to offset this, but come on, one headshot with a bow and the guy's dead, it's like shooting fish in a barell.

Yeah, spoke to soon.

The dude needs ridiculous amounts of calories a day to survive jesus fuck. You need to eat about 12 capybaras and a jaguar every half hour. Fuck this game. One snek and some fruits should be more than enough to keep you going through a day.

There might be food everywhere but you can't actually get it. Capybaras and those boar things just take your spear like a champ and run away, leaving you with no spear and no food. Catching mice etc in a trap and eating shrooms gives tiny amounts of energy and is barely worth it.

Great... you post that now after I purchased a copy.

Oh well, I didn't pay much for it, and I really like tropical settings, so I'll give it a try and see what I think.

Based on some reviews as well as the post above mine, it seems like an early game problem mostly tho. Hoping it gets better.

Edit: Just the fact that it has a plot and a POINT already makes it worth it.
Every other survival game is survive to craft to survive more to craft more to survive more to craft more.

Have you tried The Forest? It seems similar to Green Hell in that regard.

The Amazon doesn’t look like that. The developer should have taken a field trip.

 

[Kitchen Utensil]

Imagine buying a survial game in 2020.

It's actually very relevant. The part I got to in the story is bitching about

Spoiler

locking down the whole world to contain a disease.

Let's see if the go with the sane answer or the 1 LYFE IS TOO MANY THAT'S WHY WE ALWAYS STOP THE WORLD FOR EVERY DISEASE AND NEVER DRIVE CARS argument

 

[Alter Sack]

So the game got a major update recenty.



Any impressions?

I feel like playing a good survival game now.

And most important: Can you handcraft your own penis sheath to show the savages who the boss is?

 

[mediocrepoet]

Any impressions?

Yeah. Don't let that guy catch you and fuck you in the ass.

I remember Time Runners episode 1 you need a Stick, a stone and a rope to make an axe. Also you need a sharp tooth to get the rope because Max refuses to pick up the Stone if you haven't both the stick and the rope.
In Green Hell you are MacGyver....Just a stick and a stone to make an axe. Also what about those silly prisoners that use the pickaxe to split stones? No need of tools, you can use Nanto to destroy stones here!
