This is like the first Ben vid that isn't completely story-oriented cause he needs to make sure he addresses what his friends are doing and its the best thing ever
Coming from Ben is probably 70% of the humor. I read this comment thinking “oh, he’s probably just gonna raise his voice or something” and still left me completely off guard with his guttural howls.
I get it now... The story of the Forest is about a star of survival shows that brought his friends, a cannibal and a guy that can go into heaven and hell at the same time, and his son to vacations but the plabe exploded, a demon appeared and it was going to be the job of the father, satan and god combined and a cannibal to help get his son back and find the One Piece. However in the journey, the father discovered that he needed the blood of his cannibal friend and the satan god combined so he can activate the final cutscene, discovering that all along, the son he was searching for were the friends he killed along the way... Truly a masterpiece of a generation. 11:54 that has to be the loudest i have seen Ben scream holy shit. (And i rwould be Kenny in this situation ngl)
ben's calm and level-headed demeanor, ben's chaotic and ridiculous friends,, the chaos that ensues trying to "herd cats" and have any semblance of a story with everyone,,, beautiful
My favorite description of The Forest multiplayer is from Mandaloregaming 'You now play as the dad collective, and it's up to you and your non traditional family to save Timmy'
So when I saw the title, I got confused and thought he’d be talking about the art game “The Path,” based on the story of Little Red Riding Hood. So I went “oh, cool!” And clicked it because I wanted to see his interpretation of that story. Needless to say I was not prepared for Ben Again’s Wild Ride. 15/10 best drive-home-from-work content ever.
23:30 Now which two would that be? Let's review the options: 1. The last Weird Man game 2. The sequel to Hotel Dusk 3. Don't escape 4 4. Grim Fandango year 2 5. Alone in the Dark 2 There are 20 possible combinations, which one do you want more?
5:45 Tommy should apologize for what he said smh 10:20 ICONIC ENGINEERING 10:47 “You LIVED?? …You did not live.” 12:56 this sounds like something Aaron would listen to
Man, Im excited to see a video on this game again. Gives me good memories of standing out in ponds trying not to fight the cannibals cause I lost my spear hunting rabbits.
I picked up this game on a steam sale a while ago and played it with a friend once, but we never touched it again for whatever reason, so I’m looking forward to seeing more of this goofy game with this video
This video is one of my comfort videos. The absolute chaos and shenanigans are just peak friendship vibes XD there's something just cozy about it. Reminds me of hanging out with my friends in the discord vc
I must've gotten the world's most stable copy of The Forest bc the only bug I remember encountering was not being able to retrieve drawings after putting them up.
Our boy got his first sponsorship! Massive step for your channel, especially considering it’s not your main focus right now. I’m excited to see your channel keep going. Your kind of content is super homey and feel peaceful to watch/listen to.
0:48 I expected many different things, but MAN, that was not one of them! That... How do you even come up with that?! I... I am just impressed, honestly.
I don’t even know how I found you, but you’ve quickly become one of my favorite RUclipsrs. I’m always hyped to watch a video from you when you upload, keep up the great work!
ive watched you since like, the ao oni vid (before it blew up lol) and your videos are just SO good. never have i ever binged someones videos that fast and never have i ever been so excited for a new video to come out from a youtuber. im really into rpgmaker games but even your videos not about those games always engaged me and led me to discover other good (or laughably bad) games. hell, my favourite video of yours (before this) was the we were here video, so when this came out, i had a FIELD day. definitely my favourite video of yours now, and a comfort video for me as well. the hilarious multiplayer gameplay segments + a story explanation of the game? apparently THE perfect combo ever. so keep on doing what you are, these videos are amazing! definitely cant wait for the next vids lol. tldr, thank you for being my favourite youtuber, like ever.
This video is super fun! I love all your other forms of videos, but this one certainly does not shy away in quality nor time put in! I absolutely adore the more free and chaotic form with unexpected events (mostly from your friends hehe) I wouldn't mind seeing more gameplays like these alongside your usual content! Great job and congratulations on finishing the game! (again I assume)
your videos always make my day better! I'm glad you played this game, it's an awesome combination of exploration and fun with friends, have a wonderful day ❤
all my knowledge (strong word) of the plot came from a review some kid did and posted around my primary school back in 2014-2015 and despite the vague understanding that lore was there i just kind of was like Oh. yeah its the forest. the power of dicking around is truly the immovable object to Lore's unstoppable force
This is the first time I have heard of another person who is also afraid of video game water. Dark pools of water and underground water are even worse that regular water. I applaud your bravery.
When I played The Forest with my friend, the first thing I tried to do was chop off the flight attendants limbs and eat them, I went insane before the plane crashed thank you very much. Also we uh never finished the game, we did build multiple tree houses and a gazebo because we immediately just forgot about the child.
Absolutely love how great you are at narrating gameplays,and the genuineness of you three playing together is awesome!! also, THE RINGTONE MY GOD THE RINGTONE,these small details are the best ahah
BEN VIDEO, ITS BEEN SO LONG BUT IM SO GLAD i love hearing your voice lmao and you always talk about many games i had 0 clue but are always interesting nonetheless, havent watched the vid yet but sure its gonna be enjoyable as always
highly recommend sovietwomble's video essay on the storyline of the forest for those who want a longer and more in depth dive into this game, as long that you're happy to sit and watch for around 4 hours
I love that you can get a whole picture of one of your friends based on a descriptive bio about their large family and recreational drug ownership And get just as much of an idea about the other because he cannot be around dolphins. Another great video as always Ben.
13. For all those wondering, it took 13 licks.
damn i couldn't say first :(
I don't have context yet but I will
For.. what..?
dang
18:12 ... Is this the context I was looking for?
This is like the first Ben vid that isn't completely story-oriented cause he needs to make sure he addresses what his friends are doing and its the best thing ever
Friends are content. Always always. And for that reason, this may just be his best video.
Never have I seen a video game review that perfectly sums up playing a story-based game with friends who don't care.
Ben screaming at Kenny made me happy knowing this guy can experience extremes of emotions, reminds me he’s human
Also that was funny as shit 😂😂
Poor boat
Coming from Ben is probably 70% of the humor. I read this comment thinking “oh, he’s probably just gonna raise his voice or something” and still left me completely off guard with his guttural howls.
12:00
I was not expecting to hear Ben of all people peak his mic, but man, that was relatable as hell
the forest is a game with so much lore
yet so little lore
Lore, _unlimited_ lore, but no lore.
@@notdemomantf2294would you rather have unlimited bacon but no lore, or unlimited lore but no lore?
That "I'm a brave boy~" fucking KILLED me lmfao
Not a brave enough boy for this!
Me at the start of the video: I relate to Kenny
Me 2 minutes in: I no longer relate to Kenny
I get it now...
The story of the Forest is about a star of survival shows that brought his friends, a cannibal and a guy that can go into heaven and hell at the same time, and his son to vacations but the plabe exploded, a demon appeared and it was going to be the job of the father, satan and god combined and a cannibal to help get his son back and find the One Piece.

11:54 that has to be the loudest i have seen Ben scream holy shit. (And i rwould be Kenny in this situation ngl)
This man usually talks in a calm voice, but in 12:19 he just drop the entrance tô a badass heavy metal music like a piece of cake
5:56, Heard that Ace Attorney ringtone. Ben is officially based. He always was but now it is officially recognized.
*The Based Council has decided*
ben's calm and level-headed demeanor, ben's chaotic and ridiculous friends,, the chaos that ensues trying to "herd cats" and have any semblance of a story with everyone,,, beautiful
12:02 inflicted the wrath of the quiet holy shit
i really love when you feature your friends in your videos but my days the introductions always leave me thoroughly confused and/or perturbed ;;;;;;
That means I’m doing my job right lol
@@ben_again you’ve done that very successfully;; very cool video !!
hey since you're deathly afraid of being underwater in video games can you upload a subnautica playthrough :)
It is… unfortunately in the works
@@ben_again hahahaha godspeed
@@ben_againgood luck man! I’ve got easily over 100 hours in the first Subnautica and unfortunately it never stops feeling scary 😂
@@ben_againGood luck!!!
@@ben_againtrust me, once you go into the lost river and experience that a few times, you wont fear shit, mostly you'll just get annoyed at things
My favorite description of The Forest multiplayer is from Mandaloregaming 'You now play as the dad collective, and it's up to you and your non traditional family to save Timmy'
11:57 that's probably the loudest i have ever heard ben and it scared the shit outta me
I genuinely thought it was Ginge at first and lost it when I realized it was Ben.
The screaming of “Why?!” And the frustration that followed ended me and I loved every minute of it. Keep up the good work guys!
So when I saw the title, I got confused and thought he’d be talking about the art game “The Path,” based on the story of Little Red Riding Hood. So I went “oh, cool!” And clicked it because I wanted to see his interpretation of that story.
Needless to say I was not prepared for Ben Again’s Wild Ride. 15/10 best drive-home-from-work content ever.
It's always a treat to hear you and your friends playing games together
5:55, he got Phoenixs ringtone, that is now part of the lore
23:30
Now which two would that be?
Let's review the options:
1. The last Weird Man game
2. The sequel to Hotel Dusk
3. Don't escape 4
4. Grim Fandango year 2
5. Alone in the Dark 2
There are 20 possible combinations, which one do you want more?
If one of your friends isn’t a cannibal and the other with a tennis ball son, is it really a friendship?
facts
5:45 Tommy should apologize for what he said smh
10:20 ICONIC ENGINEERING
10:47 “You LIVED?? …You did not live.”
12:56 this sounds like something Aaron would listen to
lmao I could feel the tension in the air when the boat was destroyed a second time. I have definitely been That Guy who just doesn't pay attention
Man, Im excited to see a video on this game again. Gives me good memories of standing out in ponds trying not to fight the cannibals cause I lost my spear hunting rabbits.
Sovietwomble made an absolutely phenomenal video essay about how god awful the story of The Forest is. Highly recommend checking it out.
YES its hours long but its really good
I don’t know how much I trust the word of someone named after mass murderers
When the tennisball was the most sane of the group.
RIP Tommy
Loved watching this game I can’t wait! THAT SCREAM OF ANGUISH FROM THE BOAT BEING DESTROYED LMAOO
I picked up this game on a steam sale a while ago and played it with a friend once, but we never touched it again for whatever reason, so I’m looking forward to seeing more of this goofy game with this video
kenny destroys boat and ben just went full on skin walker mode.
"After kenny rebuilt the boat all by himself..." An appropriate reaction to what Kenny did
Kenny and Ginge sound like those two guys from Scott The Woz's skits in the best way possible
This video is one of my comfort videos. The absolute chaos and shenanigans are just peak friendship vibes XD there's something just cozy about it. Reminds me of hanging out with my friends in the discord vc
12:56 damn this song really describes the entire life of your boat in every single detail. Perfect.
The art of this channel-- The beautiful music, the wonderful dubbing in the Grim Fandango video... Y'all are geniuses.
I must've gotten the world's most stable copy of The Forest bc the only bug I remember encountering was not being able to retrieve drawings after putting them up.

I expected many different things, but MAN, that was not one of them! That... How do you even come up with that?! I... I am just impressed, honestly.
Aw yeah, pot pie fresh from the oven and a new vid up. Cozy sunday hours, let's goooo.
17:10 "I'm a brave boy ∼ "-Ben 2023
A moment of silence for Tommy..
I don’t even know how I found you, but you’ve quickly become one of my favorite RUclipsrs. I’m always hyped to watch a video from you when you upload, keep up the great work!
Wait a second... I was tricked into watching a let's play! Bravo, this is great content and I hope to see a return of Kenny and Ginge
This video is so beautifully goofy. Ngl tho the loss of Tommy was a tearjerker, rip to a real one. 😔
Rip Tommy 😢
I would love more summaries like this if you plan to cover more story-light games. This was a blast to watch
ive watched you since like, the ao oni vid (before it blew up lol) and your videos are just SO good. never have i ever binged someones videos that fast and never have i ever been so excited for a new video to come out from a youtuber. im really into rpgmaker games but even your videos not about those games always engaged me and led me to discover other good (or laughably bad) games. hell, my favourite video of yours (before this) was the we were here video, so when this came out, i had a FIELD day. definitely my favourite video of yours now, and a comfort video for me as well. the hilarious multiplayer gameplay segments + a story explanation of the game? apparently THE perfect combo ever. so keep on doing what you are, these videos are amazing! definitely cant wait for the next vids lol.
tldr, thank you for being my favourite youtuber, like ever.
Seeing you grow from a few thousand subs to this 85.7k is making me so happy and idk why-
This video is super fun! I love all your other forms of videos, but this one certainly does not shy away in quality nor time put in! I absolutely adore the more free and chaotic form with unexpected events (mostly from your friends hehe)
I wouldn't mind seeing more gameplays like these alongside your usual content!
Great job and congratulations on finishing the game! (again I assume)
Honestly I'm glad you tried out this style of content. It was a lot of fun!
Morw of this would be awsome. Just friends screwing around is always good to see
I wasn’t expecting this surprise but it’s a pleasant one because it’s one of your videos mr ben, so thank you and have a great day!
Best kindof overview video for a multiplayer game. Story with player tomfoolery mixed in
When Ben screamed at Kenny, I lost it lmao.
It's a good day to be not dead when ben agian uploads
Y'all are a hoot! I laughed so much during this video!
This must be the funniest video yet😭
Strong agree!
your videos always make my day better! I'm glad you played this game, it's an awesome combination of exploration and fun with friends, have a wonderful day ❤
Tommy sold me off with his charisma... now i want to by the whole stock of gamersupps
That building theme is art
I loved this video so much! The timing of the script and editing kept me laughing the whole time!! Keep up the good work!
Another banger! Can't wait to watch!
Whelp, I got sick and have to stay home. Time to watch more Ben Again!
Tommy was the saddest death in this game. Rest in Peace you fuzzy bounce king ✊😔
All of the vids I've seen before this have been calm and intellectual. This was neither, and it is the best one you've ever made. Thank you.
all my knowledge (strong word) of the plot came from a review some kid did and posted around my primary school back in 2014-2015 and despite the vague understanding that lore was there i just kind of was like Oh. yeah its the forest. the power of dicking around is truly the immovable object to Lore's unstoppable force
Man, Ben would have a REALLY good time playing subnautica
'What a nice young lady.' got me way more than it should have
This is the first time I have heard of another person who is also afraid of video game water. Dark pools of water and underground water are even worse that regular water. I applaud your bravery.
When I played The Forest with my friend, the first thing I tried to do was chop off the flight attendants limbs and eat them, I went insane before the plane crashed thank you very much. Also we uh never finished the game, we did build multiple tree houses and a gazebo because we immediately just forgot about the child.
This was true gold. I hope we'll see more of these shenanigans filled videos.
Also R.I.P Tommy, he's in a better place now
For a guy who usually has a very monotone and smooth voice. Hearing a gamer rage moment makes me feel normal thanks ❤
The professor Layton music over the black and white pics of that tennis ball got me real emotional
11:55 to 13:00 is this video in a nutshell and i love it
Absolutely love how great you are at narrating gameplays,and the genuineness of you three playing together is awesome!! also,
THE RINGTONE MY GOD THE RINGTONE,these small details are the best ahah
Its always a pleasure to watch you and your friends play together! Also, Kenny is such an agent of chaos
Please please please make more videos like these with your friends to add comedy elements to your storytelling and horror in your videos
I love how we don't even get to see what ending Ben picked, it just cuts straight to the patreon bit
I love how every time you almost start to talk about the lore it is abruptly cut off by chaotic shenanigans
When I first played The Forest and went into the caves it was the best genuine horror experience I'd had in some time from a game
R.I.P tommy he had 15 love
you have the steel samurai ringtone too??? i guess it's true that all the best youtubers (and me) do!
That introduction 😂 I'm wheezing, that was a work of art
I just found your channel yesterday and I've been bingeing your stuff, love your videos!!
I had so much fun with this video. Thanks for making it❤
As someone with Submechanophobia, Getting the Crossbow was very *fun*
funny how just now i got into this game and bam! new video on it
BEN VIDEO, ITS BEEN SO LONG BUT IM SO GLAD
i love hearing your voice lmao and you always talk about many games i had 0 clue but are always interesting nonetheless, havent watched the vid yet but sure its gonna be enjoyable as always
0:59 *That dolphin knows darn well what was going on and he knows*
You should play subnautica it’s a nice relaxing game that will help you get over your thalassophobia. Plus it has a cool story to follow.
Your freinds intros were hilarious 👍
I’m invested in Tommy’s story
I love this video and so should you. :)
absolutely loved this, maybe more than usual videos
ginge went through the plot of the divine comedy climbing that rope
I hope you do more uploads like from time to time of you and your crazy friends jist playing gsmes together.
I need more of you just messing around with your friends in games.
Kenny probably has a really smooth and shiny brain :D
You can do Mad father?It's a indie horror like the witch's house
highly recommend sovietwomble's video essay on the storyline of the forest for those who want a longer and more in depth dive into this game, as long that you're happy to sit and watch for around 4 hours
I love that you can get a whole picture of one of your friends based on a descriptive bio about their large family and recreational drug ownership
And get just as much of an idea about the other because he cannot be around dolphins. Another great video as always Ben.
7:28 Are you gonna call it the Church of Laggy Deer Saints?
…I’ll see myself out
