The Forever Winter
A hostile co-op survival shooter, in The Forever Winter staying alive is only half the battle. There’re numerous brutal mechanics embedded into the experience: for instance, revealing the full inventory of fallen corpses takes time, mimicking the act of rifling through their pockets; water – the game’s most precious commodity – spoils in storage whether you log into the game or not; treacherously shooting your allies to snag whatever paltry loot you’ve found for yourself is met with distain amongst fellow scavenging traders; firing bullets at your enemies acts as a spotlight alerting others en masse to your location. Using guns is usually a last resort, the act of hyper-surveying the war-torn battleground a more sensible method of reaching extraction. The Forever Winter is foreboding and grim, the harshest environment of any shooter appearing on this rundown.
