Lovely survival sandbox Among Trees is out now in early access, and I am so excited I might dieBear with me

Bear with me

Honestly, readers, it is only my obligation to you (and also a vague sense that Graham might tell me off) that I haven’t dropped everything immediately to go and playAmong Trees. It’s a gorgeous survival sandbox game set in a lush, lovely evergreen forest full of mists and bears, I’ve been desperate for it since it was first teasedalmost two years back, and the PC Gaming Show just casually revealed that it’s out in early access on theEpic Games Storeright now. And then they moved on to another game. Like it was justnothingto reveal that to me.Feast your eyes on the darling launch trailer below.Watch on YouTubeI don’t usually go in for survival games, but in this one the world doesn’t seem, you know, so very hostile. There aren’t hideous monsters, there’s just nature. It looks like a very nice, peaceful forest, which, sure, I’m not naturally fixed for living in, and maybe it’s a bit rainy sometimes, and I have to crouch in the mud to avoid a bear as it lumbers past. But hey, the bear was probably here first. I don’t start a problem with it, it (hopefully) won’t have a problem with me.Most importantly, you can build a little wooden home, expand it to have a greenhouse and more than one floor, and fill it with lovely plants to nurture and grow. The details in this are properly enchanting - just look at the fishing rod you can make. You clearly fashion it out of a branch, but it still has leaves on it. Ah, I love it!Right now it’s 15% off its regular price of £16/€16/$20 if you, like me, are desperate to build a tiny home in the woods.Whatever you call it, hit ourE3 2020tag for more from this summer’s blast of gaming announcements, trailers, and miscellaneous marketing. Check outthe PC games at the PlayStation 5 show,everything at the PC Gaming Show, andall the trailers from the Xbox showcase, for starters.
