Return of the Cannibals
The quietude of the cannibal-infested woods in Sons of the Forest has recently broken, much like a branch under the weight of an overly enthusiastic player. After a highly successful early access stint, the game officially launched last February, only to see an eerie silence from developer Endnight Games following a hotfix in June. What could be more unsettling than lurking cannibals? The absence of updates!
Rafting in the Wilderness
However, a dramatic shift occurred with Wednesday’s colossal patch. This update is a game-changer, proving that Endnight Games still has a few tricks up their sleeves. They’re back in action, enhancing weapon aiming and extending the world boundaries beyond what was previously imagined. But the highlight? The introduction of three buildable rafts! Each raft design varies, enabling players to craft everything from small makeshift platforms to a cozy houseboat. Yes, a roof over your head while dodging cannibals sounds like a perfect plan!
Life On the Rafts
What good is a raft if it can’t be personalized? Each of these rafts can be outfitted with essential survival gear crafted from—let’s be honest—human bones! So, whether you’re aiming to rest on a bone-crafted bed or lounge in a chair, your survival skills will surely be put to the test. Players can now navigate lakes and oceans with an attached paddle, making escape easier when the cannibals decide to crash your peaceful crafting session.
In summary, Endnight Games has rekindled our hopes with this substantial update, reminding players that, much like a peaceful lake, the wilderness holds more surprises than we could have ever anticipated.
