Green Hell<\/strong>
\nCreepy Jar<\/strong><\/p>\n

It seems like every time I turn around, there\u2019s yet another survival game being released. And that\u2019s really no surprise. If you take a quick gander at Steam, you\u2019ll see a veritable plethora of survival title plastered everywhere. Some of them are of the newer variety, like little chicks that have just been hatched. On the other hand, there are heaps upon heaps of survival (and survival horror) games, such as 7 Days to Die and Osiris: New Dawn, that seem to be stuck in perpetual Early Access hell.<\/p>\n

One survival game that really piqued my interest was Green Hell. Its developers Creepy Jar promised a new kind of survival game. One which took survival to the next level and made surviving the game\u2019s environs much more realistic. For instance, instead of a little indicator popping up on your HUD telling you that you\u2019re infested with leeches, in Green Hell you actually have to physically check each of your body parts in order to determine in leeches are attached to you or not.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I really had high hopes for Green Hell and hope dearly that it wouldn\u2019t get stuck in Early Access hell, like so many other games before it. Luckily, Creepy Jar stayed right on point with their release schedule and have just officially released Green Hell Version 1.0.<\/p>\n

1.0\u2019s new Story Mode is the most anticipated feature of the update. Story Mode will test more than just your survival skills (as if that isn\u2019t hard enough); you\u2019ll have to traverse new areas of the treacherous Amazonian Forest map in order to find your lost girlfriend, Mia. I only wish that Mia hadn\u2019t been voiced by what sounds like a young lady with a really bad Valley Girl and Uptalk accent\u2014like\u2026come on?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Green Hell is an excellent example of how well Steam Early Access works for developers. A year after hitting Early Access and the full release adds the long-anticipated story mode. It successfully stands out in the overcrowded survival genre by smoothly blending story and survival.<\/p>\n

The new Story Mode eases you into the deadly Amazonian Rainforest gradually. You\u2019ll learn the basics of survival games 101, such as food, water and shelter. You\u2019ll also encounter many of the denizens\u2014some hostile, some docile\u2014and get a feel for which ones you shouldn\u2019t mess around with. Let\u2019s just say that you definitely don\u2019t want to try to pet a jaguar.<\/p>\n

I liked this sort of semi-tutorial because it makes getting acclimated to this ultra-dangerous world much more merciful. There are so many ways to die in Green Hell that I\u2019m sure other will appreciate this new mode as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a rundown of the Green Hell 1.0 Update as well as the features of the new Story Mode.<\/p>\n

Story Mode \u2014 Just how did you end up in the Amazon and why are you there? What happened to your girlfriend with the annoying voice and accent, Mia? Is there a way for you to escape? Will you survive? You must seek out the answers to these questions, but doing so will take you to the brink of sanity as embark on your quest.<\/p>\n

New Map Areas \u2014 The lush Amazonian Rainforest just got even bigger with new Wetlands area for you to explore. You can also access and all-new in-game map.<\/p>\n

Perma-Death Difficulty Level \u2014 For the truly foolhardy out there, gear up and head out for the game\u2019s most dangerous challenge yet. There\u2019s no coming back once you expire.<\/p>\n

New Graphics Options \u2014 Optimize your visual experience with new FOV, Vsync, antialiasing, texture quality, and even shadow distance options.<\/p>\n

New Plants and Animals \u2014 Introducing the Banisterposis Caapi , the psychosis-inducing Psychotria Viridis, and the lethally poisonous (yet cute) Dart Frog.<\/p>\n

Decay Timer\u2014 Many of your items in the game will now begin to wither and decay. \u00a0You\u2019ll have to be extra vigilant and learn how to use these items before they expire.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Green Hell has just gotten bigger and bolder. An already challenging game, Creepy Jar has allowed for the truly brave to test their mettle in the harsh environs of the Amazon Rainforest. However, they\u2019ve also allowed the new Story Mode to gradually acclimate you to the game before throwing you off the deep end.<\/p>\n

SCORE: 85%<\/p>\n

Green Hell<\/em> has some pretty nice looking graphics that make its survival-based gameplay truly shine. However, you want to have a pretty beefy gaming PC or gaming laptop in order to play it at a decent framerate. So, you may just want to invest in a decent gaming rig:<\/p>\n
