The Forest

We explored The Forest in 2023, five years after its triumphant exit from early access, pulling 311 peak viewers. Endnight Games nailed the duality—peaceful base-building days followed by terrifying nights where mutant cannibals hunted you down. Watching streamers craft their dream forest setup then absolutely lose it when enemies attacked? That's the stream moment we lived for. The vast cave networks and enemy AI that made you question whether to fight or hide kept audiences glued. The forest stream brought that perfect balance of zen crafting and pure horror that made the house uncomfortably invested.
