Why is Sons of the Forest a success?
One of the keys to this title is that throughout the adventure you will be accompanied by an ally, but best of all, this NPC has been the subject of many funny moments. For this and many other reasons, Sons of the Forest has achieved great statistics on Twich, and that is that its map, 4 times larger than the previous title, has captivated users due to the large number of mysteries it houses.
