GREEN HELL is an Open World Survival Simulator set in the uncharted unique setting of the Amazonian rainforest. You are left alone in the jungle without any food or equipment, trying to survive and find your way out. Clinging to life, the player is set on a journey of durability as the effects of solitude wear heavy not only on the body but also the mind. How long can you survive against the dangers of the unknown? On this journey, you won’t get any help from the outside world. Equipped only with your bare hands you’ll have to learn actual survival techniques to build shelters, make tools, and craft weapons in order to hunt and defend yourself. Constantly threatened by the jungle you’ll fight with both wild animals and tropical sicknesses. Players will also have to face the traps set by your own mind and fears that crawl in the darkness of the endless jungle. STORY You are thrown deep into the emerald and impenetrable Amazonian rain forest. The green hell. Your goal is to survive in the depths of a nightmarish environment using truly intuitive means to escape. Having only a radio at your disposal you will follow the familiar voice of a loved one through this endless and inhospitable jungle, unveiling bit by bit how you got there in the first place. What you discover will be worse than what you fought so hard against to survive.

After dying an embarrassing amount of times by trying to 1v1 a jaguar with a stone spear, I decided to try and THROW the spear instead of trying to fight a fully grown, adult jaguar up close, so you can imagine how surprised I was when the second the jaguar took my spear to the face it died. I felt really stupid.

This game has its share of pros and cons, and unbelievably questionable gameplay decisions. Such as:
- You can not harvest planks into smaller sticks
- Useless stingray sting that was reported how long? Two years back? Still not fixed/removed
- You can not create 'piles' of items, only place them into prebuilt storages (Stranded Deep did it better imo)
- Armor that protects you from bees and ants, but not from snakes
- and so on
But I want to spend this review praising one thing that it did right and helped me irl - the pace. Day starts, day ends, and there's only that much you can do. You can not get everything done in one go, you need to decide what you will eat, where would you sleep and what would you achieve in this limited set of time. It made me play those things and suddenly.. my anxiety about my irl daily life got much better. I can not do all at once. I have that day and if I want to spend it wisely and don't blame myself for what was not achieved, I shouldn't plan more than is achievable.
I am just a man and I have just one day, no more, no less.
So yeah, thanks for that.

This is legitimately one of my most favourite games. The story is great and heartbreaking. The survival can be challenging, and super fun to play with your friends.
And the devs are still fully supporting it, with regular updates and bug fixes.
The only negative thing I can say is if you're playing on a laptop -- make sure it is a really really good one.

The game is great. It's fun but it is complicated. Like crazy complicated it takes hours to get everything down and you'll be on edge a lot of the time. I love playing it but do not play when you want to relax. Its graphics are amazing and the sound is realistic.

Really good survival game, reminds me a lot of Stranded Deep back when it was big, which I'd say is a good thing. Of course, this game feels more polished and well put together than Stranded Deep ever did. It's also a very pretty game, and it has a lot of fun mechanics behind it. BUT, if you're gonna play this game, I really can't recommend the story mode.
The story is kinda ass, and can best be explained by the phrase: "my waife". Pretty much every bad thing that happens is because the player character's wife is a total idiot. I mean, really, both the player character and his wife are....just...awful...like actually the worst. Not only do they work together, professionally (this is a red flag folks), they also decide to undergo an expedition deep into the heart of the Amazon Rainforest all on their own. No guides, no backup, just these two dimwits, and it goes about as well as you might expect.
The player character is an anthropologist, and you can tell because he quickly loses sanity the moment he starts doing his own work instead of rehashing and presenting what other people have done. He's constantly whining and having full blown melt downs at the most minor inconveniences. Sometimes he goes into a frenzy of swear words for just no reason at all. It's funny the first time you're using a hand drill to start a fire and hear the dude screaming a combination of curse words that would put sailors to shame, but the charm is lost after the 3rd or 4th time, especially considering how often you need to light fires. This man belongs in an office with AC and a water cooler, and he NEVER adjusts to being out in the wild, no matter how long you play.
The wife on the other hand, idk what she does aside from keep secrets to an obnoxious level the entire time. I get it's for suspense, to keep you hooked or whatever, but her character suffers for it a LOT. All you ever get out of her are vague answers and half truths, most the time she avoids the questions or just outright doesn't respond at all. I guess Mr. Anthropologist decided to marry a damn sphinx or something idk but she sucks. They both do.

This is hands down one of the best games I've ever played. It's a survival, where you have to, you guessed it, survive. You are alone (or with up to 3 friends) in the Amazon jungle, a lot of things can AND WILL kill you but a bit of common sense goes a long way.
Don't pick up or eat anything whose name starts with "poison"; Don't run around stepping on dangerous snakes and arachnids; Don't assume you can just ignore an infection or fever.
This is finally a survival game that you actually have to take care and survive in. Plus, you get to do it on a beautiful jungle with a truly captivating story. I can't recommend this game enough.
