Each of these tasks will increase trust with the tribe and in turn, give Jake more information about how these Amazonian tribes operate. Rather than just trying to survive and discover a way out of the rain forest, the story instead tasks the player with working with a tribal elder to complete a series of tasks in the area. Spirits of Amazonia is set before the events of the main story of Green Hell and has main character Jake attempting to gain the trust of an Amazon tribe after his boat crashes in the middle of the rain forest. Coming back to the much more complicated and realistic world of Green Hell was a jarring experience at first, but Spirits of Amazonia has granted me a much greater appreciation of the game as a whole.īack to The Past Get ready to die a ridiculous amount of times. However, I have sunk more hours than can be counted in just about every other major survival game out there like The Forest, Rust, Conan Exiles, and even Ark. I messed around with the survival mode a little bit not long after the game released, but it never quite clicked for me. With Green Hell's Spirits of Amazonia update though somehow the story and survival aspects of the game have been melded together in a way that is both satisfying and exciting.īefore Spirits of Amazonia, I actually had very little experience with Green Hell as a whole. Without fail whenever I come across a cutscene or some kind of story aspect of these games it always pulls me out of the intense survival game that I have spent time playing and breaks the immersion.

Games like The Forest have tried to make it work, and to me, it always feels tacked on to the survival experience rather than a cohesive part of it. I have never really been sold on the idea of pairing survival games with any kind of storyline.
