1. The Forest

The Forest Gameplay Part 1 - PC - No Commentary - Max Settings

As a survivor of a plane crash in The Forest, you must fight against the elements, find food to stave off starvation, oh and not get jumped by a bunch of mutant cannibals. The Forest attempts to prepare the average gamer for the least likely scenario of being stranded after a plane crash (as if we care). Build shelter by day, fight evil mutants by night.

Currently the game is still in early development, so only a sandbox feature is available without any quest lines, but it’s on the edge of your seat brilliant nonetheless. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of The Forest is how it is being developed with Oculus Rift in mind. Soon you won’t just be clicking a mouse to fight the cannibals, but fending them off in virtual reality as well!

The Forest May be one of the most popular indie games of 2015, but it may take 2016 along with it if the Oculus Rift VR gameplay turns out anywhere as exciting as we expect it to be. Good things are certainly on the horizon for the indie world.

Sure this game won’t give me nightmares for the rest of my life…
