Over the last couple of years, The Forest has become an Indie-Favorite in the survival and world building genres. Even though The Forest has some relatively low system requirements, it is still important to ensure that your PC can pass the system requirements test before purchasing. Your computer only needs to have a GeForce 8800 GT alongside a decent Dual-Core CPU with 2.4 GHz clock speed to pass the minimum hardware requirements. The recommended requirements are also very passable for most modern computers with a discrete video card. Specifically, your computer should have at least a GeForce GTX 560 or its AMD equivalent (Radeon HD 5850). The Forest also requires 4 GB of system RAM for both the minimum and recommended requirements.
