25.03.2022What about Grounded?

25.03.2022This list is lacking some serious cheeki breeki

25.03.2022Don't get me wrong, I love them to bits but…really? Surviving Mars and Frostpunk? Those are *citybuilders*! And that's not even mentioning Dying Light, which has absolutely no place in this list.
7 Days to Die
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
Dwarf Fortress
Oxygen Not Included
All four were much more appropriate for this list, and would have made it an even 20.

25.03.2022gr8 video, somthing i feel is missing is the segmentation of the video into chapters. one chapter for into/outro and one for each game would be super useful!

19.03.2022Subnautica is my all time favourite game, the lore is AMAZING, basically a Halo level storyline, in my opinion the best survival game of all, don't care what you say bout' Minecraft
Gabe Collins

Cezary Cezary
18.03.2022Yeah, no. RTS games are not survival "type".
Maurice19
18.03.2022Thank you for this. My two favourite games. Best in its core. The long dark and surviving mars
Emanuel Stude
18.03.2022In general, this was a great video with a good selection of games all fitting into the genre but still being very unique to each other. Good job!
IdioticPiano
18.03.2022tried getting minecraft back. no go kept saying installation stopped on xbox one. dying light is good for roleplayers and doom slayers. no mans sky is okay.
Puffpuffpass
18.03.2022Despite its issues (haven't played in a while it could have changed a lot) I'm glad to see starbound on this list. I was really into it back in 2015/16

18.03.2022I was never a fan of survival games when they first came out. I played The Forest, DayZ, Project Zomboid, and several others, but never understood the appeal. Then came games like Rust, which took all the best parts of survival games, but it has such a toxic and racist community on official servers. I recently started playing solely on PvE servers that have PvP zones, friendlier communities, easier experience for us blue-collar folks who only have 30 min a day or 1hr every few days to play. I now see the appeal. They're so addicting and you can really lose yourself in them. The direction these games are going in is so insane along with the depth. Cannot wait for what 2022 is going to bring us.
Talosses gaming
18.03.2022Well I can say that I now have at least 3000 hours on ark now

17.03.2022Those games are so fun for a long time but I've gotten to where I need some level of progression
Dio Brando
17.03.2022I cant believe project zomboid wasnt mentioned here 🙁 its a zombie survival game that has a lot of content and is a lot of fun to play i would totally recommend checking the game
gard kleven
17.03.2022Conan is also sick
horizon hunter
17.03.2022Ark and other sci-fi survival games is 10/10
John Lock
17.03.2022i wouldnt call dying light a survival game, more of a story driven, open world, rpg
neither is Escape From Tarkov
Soapfaces
17.03.2022Yes! Ark and subnautica are the best survival games out there!
Fille
17.03.2022Grounded should be on the list
