IGN: 8 / 10 by Leana Hafer

Even in early access, Sons of the Forest is already a strong survival crafter sequel that takes all the things The Forest did so well and does them a little bit better.

GameLuster: 7 / 10 by Jess Clayton-Berry

Despite having less content, Sons of the Forest in its early access state is a shinier and better version of its predecessor and I look forward to future updates.

Try Hard Guides: 10 / 10 by Erik Hodges

Sons of the Forest is an incredibly unique, immersive, and terrifying horror survival game that pits you against the mutated inhabitants of an island far away from civilization. The story is incredibly interesting and forces you out of your comfort zone as you delve deep underground and brave the horrors of the island while seeking answers.
