I’ve spent a few days rounding up some (STEAM PC) Survival games that simply look great, some are underrated, a couple are still in development but all of them are worth keeping an eye on! I tried including many that people won’t have heard of, while still giving credit to a couple which are obviously unmissable regardless of their notoriety.
Note: Many of these games are available on other platforms, but some aren’t!
#1 Derelicts – Build, craft and explore alone or with friends in this hostile, mysterious wasteland, using the power of electricity and water to survive.
#2 V Rising – Raise your castle and thrive in an ever-changing open world full of mystery. Gain allies online and conquer the land of the living.
#3 Xera Survival – Raid for resources alone or with team-mates, build and defend your base, stash your gear and survive against the odds.
#4 Dysterra – Sci-Fi based FPS survival game where the players cooperate with/compete against each other on a destroyed Earth.
#5 Gone Upstate – Explore the vast landscape, escape dangerous predators, buy or craft supplies, sell your farm crops and uncover the mysterious creatures!
#6 Arid – Discover the mysteries of the Atacama, explore the abandoned mining networks, evade the scorching sun and survive the environment in one of the most arid place in the world.
#7 Dysmantle – Explore. Fight. Level up. Survive. Gather. Craft. Harvest. Hunt. Build. Farm. Solve puzzles. Fish. Cook. Live. Enjoy the bittersweet post-apocalypse.

Sleepy production
18.01.2023Two of my favorite genres of games, rpg, and survival. Mainly because both have crafting and micromanaging. I’m so glad survival games have been popping off, rpgs haven’t been good in so long. They’re easy mass marketed as in to simple, or the story is shit while crafting is good, or story is great while simple perks and crafting.

GrapeJuice3000
17.01.2023First place should've been Elden Ring, well. if you even can survive in it. Get it? Because it's a Souls game. Huh, anyone?

17.01.2023Dysmantle is great. Played it, still playing it. Very addictive and good for stress reduction

17.01.2023Theres a game called SCUM, it will soon have a huge update with a lot more to do, even now its awesome to play
Physixtential
16.01.2023Never seen sunburn in a game? Literally the month following v rising. Do you even play video games!
Isty
16.01.2023Funny, no mention at all of any of the 4 or 5 survival games i currently play – Subsistence – Keep Up Survival – The Infected – Rising World – Osiris New Dawn
I had only heard of 2 or 3 of these, and have played their demos – and btw you pronunciation of the Arid stuff was terrible. The Atacama Desert IS the hottest place on Earth, outside of a volcano anyway, it IS a very real place, and it should serve as a reminder that even YT Gamers should put their heads in the REAL WORLD and learn some stuff now and then, or you may miss out a number of references games often include
I will be checking out Derelicts, not because you made it #1 but because iy did look most interesting to me
A small critique on your video, i feel you rushed through them, i wouldve liked to have seen you playing for a few minutes in each game, pointing out the good and bad of each
And before you say people wont watch videos longer than 10 minutess, i really think they will if each game only takes 5 minutes each, they can always skip, and damnit have we really become a race of beings who cannot focus for more than a few minutes?

16.01.2023i wish they still updated arid it's a good game

16.01.2023Many of these were meh. "worth a try because they are free" or "have potential because they are in earlier access"? Weird reasoning. I think most of these look terrible and our complacency with bad games is why we have so many garbage, unfinished games out right now.
At exactly 4:43 you're saying "pretty realistic and grungy artsyle" while showing rocks that are so low poly its just a bunch of triangles. The only half decent game in here is Vrising and it's not even #1. Your #1 game is some game thats not even out yet.
The industry is f'ed if this is how we think.
Britonbear
16.01.2023I like the look of Arid and Derelicts.
Give Empyrion: Galactic Survival a look.

15.01.2023Bonus: minecraft

15.01.2023Id love a actual realistic survival game. The protagonist is usually just average normal person but some how can smelt iron and craft tools and build huge wooden structures. 99% of humans couldnt do that today never mind a post apocaplse wasteland
Toothless Raider
15.01.20237 Best games to play in 2022. Derelicts isnt even released yet, so much for this list.

15.01.2023Your title doesn't say "the 7 most promising/alpha of 2022", so what the fuck, tinhead?

15.01.2023I'm not sure ive ever played a survival crafting game that wasn't early access, unless you count minecraft.

15.01.2023when you said for Xera survival "the game development is super active" i almost spat out my coffee, you couldnt be further from the truth, the game has 1 developer, no that wasnt a typo it literally has just one single developer, seasons are meant to last 3 to 4 months but they get dragged out to 6 to 10 months because the dev is painstakingly slow at releasing updates for the game, the player base has decreased so much because everyone gets tired of waiting for the new season to start, not to mention the chinese clans abuse game bugs and wipe everyones bases on the servers and seem to get away with it, i played for all of season 5 and season 6 i have about 1500 hours in the game and sorry to be a negative nancy but the truth is the game is going down hill and sinking like the titanic, which is very sad this game has so much potential to be a great game but due to the dev and the chinese clans killing the game its just wasted potential of what could be a really great game. who knows what the future holds for xera i really hope the dev puts more time into the game and fixes the bugs that ruin the game because i havent played for 1500 hours for no reason it was and could be again a really good game, its fun to play until you start to get to late game and spend alot of time building a base only to have it blown to peices by the chinese clans which come for you with a chinese army of 20 to 30 players and a endless supply of explosives that they duped using game bugs you have no chance to defend against them they wipe your base then move on to the next one, all you have to do is jump in a buggy and drive around the map and look at how many bases have been raided and blown to bits you will struggle to find a base that hasnt been raided by the chinese clans.

CarbonBacon V
15.01.2023The last game is not even close to early access release. Not going to be, a fail project. They did not even decide on which minimum requirements gonna be required for the processor, and graphics…it's a hoax.
