What a fantastic survival game!

I bought this game after they released the COOP update.

The game caught my attention because of the unique and in depth food and medical system. You need to maintain all levels of Hydration, Carbs, fats and proteins by eating different animals, fruits and fungi.

The medical system puts injuries on your limbs forcing you to check for damage and remove leeches, apply bandages or stitch lacerations. Ignoring injuries drains your health energy levels and nutrition quickly so it's best to stay on top of it.

The crafting system is similar to other games like "The Forest" and "Rust". There's not a huge amount of variety to the recipes but you can usually figure how to make things before the game teaches you how to.

The game is built on the Unity engine and mostly runs very well for how it looks after the latest update, however the usual stutters from unity are still present.

The story was deeper than I expected and had me guessing a little about what was going on. It doesn't outright spell everything out for you and how much of the story you learn depends on how much you explore. The game has 2 endings though I found one much more satisfying than the other.

The combat and survival mechanics start off very challenging at first but once you get the hang of them get much much easier. The combat in the game I found too easy and if you plan and approach situations logically the game isnt hard. The exception for this is the single player “challenges” which I had a blast playing. Having a strict time limit forces you into risky situations.

The coop mode and survival mode are the same in their systems just with more people. The survival mode was fun to play before I understood the game mechanics and was still learning the game. Up to 3 clients can join the host bringing their saved inventory with them. Dying means they respawn losing some items and dropping the rest. My main gripe with the survival mode is you have no purpose. There’s no win conditions and surviving isn’t that difficult. Having some large challenge your group needs to complete or increasingly difficult conditions would add a lot to the survival mode.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed Green hell and wholeheartedly recommend it to survival fans.
The review scores on sites and on steam are very accurate. I feel the game well deserves 85/100, as it’s great fun but could use a few improvements and quality of life improvements with game modes, achievements and crafting.
