13.02.2023The reason I love survival games is mainly because of the freedom and also the intense feeling you get from protecting yourself from harm using only what you can obtain on your own

13.02.2023I just use survival games as a way to escape from reality. I have a longing to be free from society that only survival games can quench.
Adam Ruehle
13.02.2023It’s the idea if progress and improvement that makes me want to play games like rust. Also, has anyone heard of a game called one hour one life?

It's fun to just go out there and hit a tree with a stick and rock tied to gever

11.02.2023I'm a builder. Be it leveling up. Getting better items. Building a home/fortress/castle, acquiring things. Pretty much any game that lets me build and grow I dig. Survival games generally do that with of course the chance to lose it all.(this last part, I am still unsure whether I like)

11.02.2023Shadowfrax – Just wanted to say that this video was extremely well done. The transitions between events going on screen and what you were saying was very well done.

11.02.2023When your hungry the only task is food. when your full human aspiration to expand wants to find fulfilment. survival games are pretending your hungry to sate the desire for unfulfilled expansion.

11.02.2023Mr ShadowFrax, do you remember an Amiga game called Midwinter? I was so taken by it.
hecku
11.02.2023I just recently played The Long Dark and holy fuck that game is great, probably the best solo survival game out currently
Joseph Robinson
11.02.2023don't starve, subnautica and 7 days to die (though 7dtd is unfortunately not finished yet) are the best survival games out there right now IMHO.
Personally I think the reason why we like survival games are the same reason we like Minecraft or MMORPGs like WoW and Guild Wars; gathering and finding stuff. Humans have an instinct to gather, collect and forage for items and food and therefore we naturally enjoy such things. There's a reason why people today in our agarian society still enjoy fishing and hunting and trapping; because it caters to our natural instincts of catching, foraging and gathering things.

10.02.2023atmosphere and ambience are very important to me
TheWeapon33
10.02.2023I love Survival games but Rust is barely a survival game nowadays. If you were on an empty server you would have to be very new to the game to die in any way not involving other players. The food and thirst meters are an afterthought. ;(
Flying Aboo
10.02.2023OMG, I had the same SAS book as a kid. Maybe this is why I tend towards this genre of gaming.

10.02.2023I fking love Rust. I love the peace that I find playing that game. The only thing I would hate is the violence. Can't we all just live in peace?

08.02.2023came here for game dev. interesting but not helpful lmao
OᄆO
08.02.2023My love for survival games probably started from an unknown game titled Malayalam. It's like pixel survival game I got from my dad's magazine purchase prize.
I just love to see what's beyond the observeable screen around my character. What location I would discover, what weird item I would find etc. Unfortunately, I need to actually do things I don't really care about (building base, collecting materials for building etc) I wish I could just gave someone the responsibility to build things and farming while I stock on foods and just roam around fighting everything on sight and finding items. I absolutely hate going back to the base too. I want a teleport device.
