Well thrown spears or solid shots with a bow to head of any threat will instantly kill them aside from the caiman. The combat feels good too, for the most part. You either need to avoid a fight or end it as quickly as possible and heal yourself. You cannot heal quickly and you can not heal in the middle of a fight. Any wound inflicted by an animal can be deadly. Getting shot with a bow or being stuck with a spear can and will most likely lead to your death if you are unprepared or if a fight lasts too long. Every interaction with predators or the natives is a life and death situation. Your self and environmental awareness are key to your survival. You also need to learn what can heal you, whether it's removing leeches, worms, or getting rid parasites, to bandaging wounds and healing infected wounds. The environment floods you with sensory inputs that you have to learn to filter and understand to survive treks through the jungle. All the animals insects have unique sounds that you need to learn to identify and pay attention to. Checking the ground for insects and snakes and listening for the natives and predators. You have to be paying attention to the many audio and visual queues to keep yourself alive. The survival also exhibits a great environmental awareness. If you fail these things you lose your sanity and things will spiral out of control quickly. Constantly checking your limbs for wounds and leeches and treating them as quickly as possible. The self awareness you have to exert is great here and this ties into the self examination. If you're tired than you can't exert yourself as much. Your overall fatigue is tied to your stamina. If you are malnourished then you are less healthy. I love that your total health is affected by these stats. You can let one of them fall entirely to zero without death, though it will affect total health and seems to affect your stamina and exhaustion. You dehydrate after a few days and it will kill you after several. On the normal difficulty I felt that these were perfectly balanced. Those are there but even your nutritional stats are slightly more diverse, having protein, carbs, fats and hydration. The biggest strength of this game is in it's survival, which is more then just base building and simple food and water stats. The strength of the audio and visuals of this game however is in how it affects game play, so. The voice acting was solid and the music was well done. Everything has a relatively realistic sound and the ambiance of the jungle has a nice relaxing effect. It doesn't limit the visible animals or even most plants, but many of the small grasses are affected. The biggest problem with the visuals is the draw distance. There are varieties of flora and fauna that look great. It doesn't look nearly as dangerous as it is. There are many amazing vistas and it feels gorgeous walking through the world and it can be misleading.
The game does look really breath taking a lot of the time. Even the building felt calming and satisfying when you manage to make yourself place to live.
The combat is life or death and the story was decently well written for whats there.
The game is difficult and can be overwhelming, but this makes every day you manage to stay alive feel extremely rewarding. It is a truly realistic survival game with solid mechanics. Green Hell is a surprisingly heavenly game.
