bump...same situation here

The top 5 reviews on Steam are positive, something quite rare for an early access game. I haven't played it nor do I know much about it, but it's sure to come with bugs, so that's nothing to be of surprise. Personally, I'd wait and see how good the developers are at adding patches - if they regularly update it and are tackling the major issues, then it's probably worth buying. If they don't, and you buy it, you'll probably regret it.

after reading the reviews it looks like the consensus is that it was released way to early to even call it early alpha - more like pre-pre-alpha so i would suggest waiting and see how the game develops over the next couple of months before committing to the purchase. Your 15 can be better spent elsewhere for sure.

No. Full price for any unfinished, broken, "alpha" game is not worth it.

There are hundreds of finished, polished games you can buy on Steam; many for less than $15 is you wait for sales. If this game really interests you then buy it when it's actually done.

well .. i phoned the bank told them to transfer some money to the account .. i am getting this game .. yeah i know it's not full product yet and i probably should wait .. but who knows :D maybe i don't have the time untill it's released .. maybe something will happen .. so i will get the money tomorrow noon and will get it by after tomorrow or slight later on

that game doesn't look anything like rust. it's supposed to be a single player or coop game, not pvp.

Well I bought it and its downloading. Let you know tomorrow!

I personally never do pre-orders nor to I buy early access games (unless they're in bundles). That said, The Forest is in my wishlist and I'll definitely keep an eye on it-- looks promising :)

buy stomping land better

buy multiple cs go games, idle, profit ^^

no, is not worth it at all (in the current state) from what i saw

Rather buy something else and wait with The forest.

Not worth buying right now, its single player at this stage so no from my side, if you want, go fo Space Engineers, but have it from Kinguin.net

Watch some streamers and make your own decision :3

BOUGHT IT FINALLY :D
thanks you all !

Based on what I have seen from streams it's insanely buggy, but the concept is fun. It's not worth it right now, but if the devs don't abandon it and fix all the issues it maybe worth it in the future. But I'd skip it for now.

I bought myself and a friend a copy today, based on the word i have heard, the game is buggy, broken and totally unfinished, but what is working is working a treat and the potential is great.

Worth a buy at any stage tbh.

Another survival "horror" game? No thanks.

yeah...instead of adding a singleplayer mode to an unfinished game, just delete some stuff from there and put it in another game we can also sell. Maybe we make a third one...people love buying our stuff. We sell "hope", cause their imagination what it could be one day is greater than anything we ever could build in.
(i know sarcasm & Internet is like fire and ice, but on the other hand frogs can't read the rules)

Never buy games for full price, specially one of the tons of survival games on Early Access we have on Steam.

Watching the trailers and comparing the gameplay from videos... im horribly dissapointed. I tought the game would be finished on its release.

Didn't know about this game. Looks promising and interesting.
Thanks. :)

The game looks like "Don't Starve" if you like those kind of games you will love "The Forest" :3 I actually saw a vid of Pewds and I really like it.

Don't but Early Access. Don't encourage this horrible trend.

There we go. Simple.
