Too much effort for me

I really like survival games. On Ark, 7 Days to Die and Conan Exiles I have over 3000 hours and that’s not counting games like The Forest so it’s fair to say I like my crafting survival games. Green Hell appeared to be similar to The Forest but with better graphics and possibly an amazing ecosystem. I wouldn’t know because I didn’t get that far.

We set out playing it on the easiest setting with no predators or tribesmen in order to get a handle on how to play the game. After two hours of scavenging a jungle for rocks and sticks to make a stone knife and build a shelter and make a fire, we were dehydrated and passing out every two minutes. It was, in many ways an entertaining experience playing it with a friend and trying to survive but it was not a fun experience and after those two hours that I can never get back I uninstalled the game. Green Hell is not for me.

However, if you like a challenge…. If you think The Forest is too easy then maybe Green Hell is for you. It looks great but the grind is just too high for me in Green Hell.
