Co-op The Forest

So I finally tested Co-op in The Forest a few times

It is a very different game in many ways. First of all, you can't sleep. When the night comes, the night really do come! But it does not feel nearly as scary since you got someone around you to keep you company. 

There are a few things that will complicate things though. Since in single player, when you open your inventory the game pauses you can eat medicine during fights without a problem. 

When playing with someone you can just stand looking at the lovely ocean view and all of a sudden you get a tree in the head and you die!

Lack of communication can be a bitch. A good thing though, when you die in co-op, your friend can resurrect you using medicine. 

One problem that you would think might appear is lack of supplies but each player can open each suitcase once which means double loot. So that is not an issue.

The first night I had to endure with company was not very pleasant though. The monsters came and the server failed which meant I died a horrible death while the rescue team tried to reconnect. 

Once that problem was fixed it turned out to be a bit hard to avoid hitting each other in fights since you are swinging quite wildly when you are surrounded by monsters. After learning that lesson though and having decided what to build the game is awesome with a friend by your side. And the odds of you making real progress and being able to fight the bigger monsters must be a lot better when you are two people.
