Description

You’re A Small Fish In A Big Apocalypse.

Scavenge and fight for your next day alive under the shadow of gargantuan war machines. Enemies in the game can literally tower over the battlefield. To put it another way:

War. War Always Changes.

The battlefield is unpredictable thanks to The Forever Winter’s Dynamic Encounter system: enemies have their own goals and agendas, operating in coordinated groups, undertaking full-scale battles — and they’ll intelligently react to your actions. The battlefield you leave won’t be the same one you return to.

Only The Smart Survive - But Guns Help.

Use your wits, stealth, and skilled gunplay to make it out alive. Choose your path in the shadow of the two great superpowers, loot the dead, and make it out alive. While the warring factions may ignore you at first, the more disruptive you become to their goals, the more they'll seek to remove you from the equation.

A Grim Vision Of The Future.

Ecological collapse compounded by runaway technological advancement brought us here: a world choked by 40 years of industrial-scale violence between two military superpowers, unmerciful mass killing by AI automata, human-machine hybrids, and the bleak truth of human nature. There’s two sides to this war, and you’re not on either.

Playing The Forever Winter feels like being Chris Rock at the Oscars. You show up expecting entertainment, maybe even a good time. Then out of nowhere the game walks up on stage and slaps you directly across the face.

It's a very promising game that currently gets hard carried by the art team. That being said, once it has more gameplay diversity and is significantly more polished, it has the potential to be something really special.

I've played a decent amount of Forever Winter and I have read the reviews and honestly I think this game gets a lot of flak it doesn't deserve, now I'm going to be clear- It's not perfect, It's very much early access

If you have the patience for the lagging and bugs, this game could be good. I do enjoy playing, some maps I would go to, while I try to avoid others such as the Stairway gate and elephant mausoleum because of instant
