apparently there has been an issue where the game crashes after the tutorial and it hasnt been fixed for 4 years. it now will not let me play the game anymore at all. how is it possible no one has fixed this issue??
update: still not sure why it has not been resolved but there are workarounds to play single player mode. i had to reinstall the game and verify game files. then i needed to disable cinematic and skip tutorial. since i have to skip the tutorial i don't have a machete, i think. not sure because i haven't been able to do it the other way around. game is very similar to "the forest". might check the multiplayer to see if it works afterwards but its hard to get into the game so far. i can not really recommend the game if this issue is so prevalent. i do not code or develop games so i don't know how hard it is to fix, all i do know is i haven't had this issue with other similar games.

really, really buggy. story is mediocre at best, ground leaches???
The crafting system is a chore, to the point that drinking dirty water and using random mushrooms to get rid of the parasites is just a better deal than looking for a way to have clean water. The constant moving around (at least in story mode) means that creating a base is just not worth it.
in conclusion, It's similar but significantly worst than the forest.

Tried to play with a friend. He joined my server but he couldn't use the keys that show the map, watch or anything else. All he could do it pick things up. And, as we were in the same server, he could see my in game chats but i couldn't see his as well as the fact we couldn't see each other in the game either.

If you like dying millions of times and losing everything every time you die, this game is for you. Great storyline, fight for survival at every step you take in the jungle. You're going to run through the forest, great expect rattlesnakes, jaguars, tigers, panthers and tapirs, not to mention the Waraha Tribe. Do you want to hide in a cave? Okay, watch out for scorpions, Brazilian wandering spiders and goliath birdeater spiders. Well, everywhere is dangerous, so maybe jump into the water, it would be cool if not for the piranhas and caimans and on the shore beautiful colorful frogs, of course poisonous. Well, there's nothing left to do but build a base, but again you have to be careful, lifting branches, logs, leaves, etc. you can be bitten by a centipede. To make it easier, remember not to drink water from the river because you'll get parasites, rainwater or boiled water is a good idea. The health bar depends on what you eat and drink, you have to provide your body with fats, carbohydrates, proteins and hydration. When all are at max your health bar is also full, when not, unfortunately the problem starts with fatigue etc., what more is there to write, just play :)

This game is exactly what it sounds like. A Green Hell until you know what you are doing. Once you have things figured out though it is so much fun.

Green Hell is my favorite survival-focused game of all time. No other game in this genre that I've ever played matches its deep focus on survival mechanics. In a way, it has ruined other survival games for me in making them seem shallow in comparison.
PROS:
+ Every aspect of survival feels rewarding, even when you have mastered the rules of the game (big ups to the food system which requires you have a balanced diet consisting of different macronutrients)
+ The visuals and audio are pretty damn good at immersing you in a jungle environment
+ The game is still fun with no hostile human mobs, as the survival mechanics stand on their own (this is good for people like me who want to RP a Primitive Technology or Alone-type scenario)
+ The story mode is well made, and is a good complement to the freeplay mode
+ Building strikes a nice balance of being tedious (because at the end of the day, you're supposed to be just one person) but allowing you to get some cool structures made
NEUTRALS (i.e. pro or con depending on your preferences)
* Learning curve is steep at first, and can be annoying; maybe you won't be dying a lot, but you WILL starve, get sick, get injured, etc. as you learn the rules of the world
* I think there are no more updates; the game is "complete" at this point
* Only one map (plus an expansion area), and it's not super huge, but it is handcrafted
CONS:
- Eventually, you will understand most spawns of resources and enemies on the map, resulting in a post-scarcity level of mastery, which removes most sense of danger; at this point the game becomes a wilderness simulator where you just chill and do whatever you want

The game is very hard at first because you will not understand what the game mechanics are. You will see symbols on the HUD screen and you will have no idea what they are, you health will keep draining, your stamina will deplete, and soon you will succumb to the environment. However, after 20+ deaths you will start to understand the game mechanics. This game is addictive and fun to play, but only after you get the hang of it. Initially, I considered quitting the game because I got bored of dying over and over again, but once you understand the game mechanics the game becomes enjoyable.
