Sons of the Forest is about being chased by Fithy people who cannot swim, so the latest update must be helpful for players. Its main feature is the addition of rafts, which players can build and then float as a 2000s Tom Hanks.
The raft has three different flavors, from small, slightly smaller, to the boat with walls and ceilings. All three can be attached to the shore with a new anchor structure, and otherwise, row the island’s lakes and water lines.
There are some other neat new features, too. Players can now draw plans for defensive walls around their base and leave Kelvin to do difficult things in building them. Kelvin currently has a faster swimming animation and both England and Virginia can pull themselves out of the water, both seem useful when they certainly fall out of your friends.
If you make a mistake when you return to the mainland, it is obvious that there are notably aiming for crossbows, compounds, manual, pistols and rubber guns, all you will see while scrambling to survive against people who eat people.
Full patch notes available on Steam. We liked this game a lot when it reached 1.0 in early last year, like Matt Cox (RPS in Peace) explained in Sons of the Forest magazine.
