Green Hell Reviews

It's been out for how long and it's still in this condition!?? You're picking things off you or out of you every twenty minutes, you get leeches anywhere you go, mostly on land, ya that makes sense, you would be walking around then all of a sudden you get a worm in your arm, like WHAT THE FUCK!!??? Your energy depletes insanely fast so you have to sleep every five minutes, that's real time not game time, so most of the time you are sleeping, and this is all on normal, I didn't even bother with the hardest mode. Real half assed game, and doesn't seem like it will get any better either. Definitely not worth 30 dollars.

Unplayable with friends as entirely random DC's completely delete all progress. Everyone so far has experience a disconnect with server/players IN ONE SESSION which completely deletes everything on your person. A friend had also DC'd his first time in single player and lost everything. We've had 6 people in our group report this issue so I have no idea how anyone has left a positive review when the game is poor to begin with. The game is in an broken state and they are not going to fix it. This game has been out for 2 years and it's been an issue for 2 years. Do not buy this game.

While very interesting at the start, the design of survival vs. story telling just didn't work out in practice. Base building felt useless when the story keeps pushing you into farther sections of the map and the survival aspects didn't push us to needing a base to begin with. Also ran into a major bug that other people have also mentioned, where natives simply stop spawning. Finished the story in 7 hours of and I just don't have any urge to continue playing.

I just cannot enjoy and get into this game because it's just too much hassle. It's not fun to play and I would just recommend playing something else. The first problem you'll encounter is that the interface is a constant chore and klunky. The backpack mechanic is just like a constant interruption whenever you want to get anything done and again the book is just too much to have to keep going through. You then have things like a fall from 1 to 2 feet inflicts fall damage and in this game that is a major hassle you want to avoid. That is not enjoyable. It should be reasonable possible for the player to avoid bother. You should only be punished for actual mistakes you make not for jumping off a ledge one or two feet high. It's not fun to play a game where you want to just get started and to build but you're constantly side swiped with stuff like this. It's one of those games that just doesn't let you actually play the game. It's like having a baby and having to keep going to it when it cries only far worse. Don't waste your money on this kind of game until they show some respect to their players and fix issues like this so that it's actually an enjoyable experience and not just a burden. This game is not fun at all. It's just a chore to play. To get anything done it imposes pointless time wasting mechanics. This is made much worse by the games tendency to lie about things such as being able to save. You build the shelter that say it allows you to save the game but it doesn't do anything. You can't save without quitting the game. Otherwise you can play for hours without being able to save. This is one of those games that doesn't seem to understand that time is precious and having to do that same thing you already did, losing progress isn't an enjoyable mechanic but quite the opposite much like if someone destroyed a painting you were half way through doing so had to do it again.

great game .. but tbh just play survival .. the story is good but not nearly as fun as a sandbox jungle of hell

first 8 hours is good. but after than game becomes very repetitive and unrewarding. poor ai and ai scenario. no dedicated server option. no pvp. lots of physics and networking bugs. this game can be the best of its kind but devs are abandoned the game i think.

I wanted to buy this game for so long and dare I say I regret buying it. Save files are almost non-existent and you can't manually load anything. When you start the game you have no idea of how the game works and what is for what but suddenly you have about 20+ reasons to die. Yes, you have notebook of the items you discover but its not much helpful- you still have to figure out things on your own. The most irritating thing is that whenever you die- more than a 60% of your loot disappears including the every tool you use to fight off animals and tribal members. Last night I've died from a dead jaguar. So basically he attacked me from behind, I turned around and killed him (and got left with like 40% health) and then I've got close to him literally 5 seconds later to 'harvest' him and all of the sudden I died which resulted in losing more than a half of my loot I crafted. Yes I had wounds that would kill me in time if not treated but I've survived the attack and then died. I love survival games and I loved the idea of this one but it is almost unplayable. Gives nothing to help but does everything to kill you and lose all the progress. I do not recommend it.

It has some annoying bugs and issues at times, but the core story is actually really well done. I think my main gripe would be the fact that it has a pretty good base building system that encourages you to build up a nice base, and the story then takes you around to leave it behind. I might actually prefer that aspect of the DLC that was more tightly knit together. Also this has coop - it's probably fine enough even without coop, but I always prefer good coop games.

This is above basic surviving, this game is way more in depth than any other survival game I've seen. You don't just need to eat, you need a balanced diet. You don't just have HP, your health is literally dependant on how healthy your diet is and what ailments you're afflicted with. On top of that, you don't just take damage, you get different wounds that need tending to in different ways. And speaking of ailments, there are so many different ones you'll be encountering, such as leeches, insomnia, insanity, food poisoning, parasites, infection, worms, venom poison, rash, and the various types of wounds. Every ailment has it's own remedy which you have to figure out, or simply avoid ever having them to begin with. It is so extremely deep and has so much for you to learn. You don't know what flora and fauna are safe or dangerous, you don't know where dangers are hiding, you really are just forced into a very uninhabitable environment and given the task of finding a way to survive. This game really pushes the idea of a survival game to a new level, and it makes for a very enjoyable and incredibly immersive challenge learning how to survive and thrive in this world.

Being amnesiac and alone in the amazon isn't for everyone. It's actually, surprisingly, pretty unpleasant. This game recreates that at first, but if you don't give up you'll learn and adapt and develop a real sense of pride at overcoming obstacles and surviving. The tutorial/story mode is way more narratively deep than I was expecting and really takes you on a journey. And then, once you're good at the game and have experienced the whole storymode, you can chill and play all the additional sandbox areas or timed challenges. And that's not even including the free Amazonia DLC which is like 300% as big with new mechanics! This game is such a little powerhouse, it's incredibly impressive all the work and free updates and content the team has put into it for *years* to support the community, and I can't thank them enough. I don't know if that sounds like I'm a shill or something, but it's true.
