Marooned: Arcanus Island vs The Forest

Marooned: Arcanus Island drops you onto a pristine yet unforgiving tropical island after a storm wrecks your vessel. Gather resources, craft shelter, and fend off wildlife, weather extremes, and mysterious threats as you strive to escape. In cooperative mode, up to four players can share the struggle, each facing a divergent storyline that culminates in a unique ending. Powered by Crytek's CRYENGINE, the game delivers stunning visuals both above and below the water’s surface for an immersive survival experience.

After a plane crash, you awaken on a remote peninsula teeming with cannibalistic mutants and hidden secrets. As Eric Leblanc, you must craft shelter, explore treacherous caves, and uncover the truth behind a mysterious underground lab to rescue your son.
