top ten games where survival is
everything
[Music]
before we begin we publish new content
every day so be sure to subscribe to our
Channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos for
this list we’ll be taking a look at
those games where you got nothing to
keep you alive but your wits and what
you can create from them whether the
games have you braving extreme weather
exploring underwater or mashing two
items together until they become
something useful if surviving is your
core goal or gameplay loop its eligible
for this list we’ll be focusing on games
that are centered around crafting and
scavenging so games like pub G which is
technically about surviving still isn’t
eligible oh look at that
Hertzberg number 10 Conan exiles what
will you do exile when there is nothing
left but to live
or die despite delays and a rocky early
access start this game has come a long
way a lot of the bugs that played the
game in the beginning have since been
ironed out and we have a fairly
optimized games on our hands now set any
Conan the Barbarian universe players
begin with absolutely nothing and have
just one goal survive while it follows
your standard survival genre gameplay
there are a plethora of things to do and
the game’s world is massive
combats also visceral and bloody and
you’re building options are actually
only limited by your imagination
number nine this war of mine I lived
through hell with these people we were a
group we would do anything oh man this
game left us emotionally drained and
kinda scarred this war of mine is not
only about survival in the physical
aspect thereof but making sure our minds
also remain intact sat during wartime
the choices you make can’t be defined as
good or bad as the aim of the game is to
keep yourself and your group alive no
matter the cost you can give commands to
your party members scavenge for supplies
and make sure your base is running up to
scratch
but looking outside at the devastation
now break terraria coming off the grim
and depressing this war of mine is the
bright and colorful terraria with its
poppy music and retro art style players
can explore the randomly generated world
crafting dig down and fight monsters
there’s a lot of mysterious and magical
items to be crafted – all of which aid
you in your battles with the many bosses
in the game playing cooperatively is
also a blast with friends and it makes
inventory management and monster slaying
[Music]
number 7 state of decay
[Music]
this game is about as close to the
Walking Dead TV show as you’re gonna get
in terms of survival and resource
management but not story cuz they have a
game for story anyway
stakes are high and the zombies are
always threatening obviously right games
these days usually don’t have permanent
consequences but state of decay
pressures you to always be on your toes
if someone in your crew dies and then
are dead for good you see no response
for them so whether you’re defenseless
against the army of undead or armed to
the teeth you still better not let your
[Music]
uh yes mining crafting base building and
dinosaurs what else could you want well
maybe to be able to tame and ride them
well it’s got that too with its unique
spin on the survival genre Ark delivers
in not just the crafting aspect but also
in the progression and action aspects to
it even technically has a story
narrative you can follow which pits you
against big bosses while you begin the
game throwing spears and making stuff
from sticks you can actually become more
technologically advanced in your
creations and that’s what the game truly
shines number 5 minecraft minecraft
probably the most well known of all the
survival games on this list and there’s
a reason for that
with its voxel graphics and it’s easy to
use interface the game is basically
accessible to everyone whether you’re an
adult or a kid and whether you’re an
adult or a kid you’ll find something to
enjoy in there you can craft explore
fight bosses build huge castles and
partake in a variety of different games
basically players are constantly
crafting to excuse the pun new game
types so you have really no excuse to
number four don’t starve
[Music]
while starving we’ll kill you so will
the monsters as well as your general
curiosity here you plays a scientist so
you might as well experiment with
everything right there is a sandbox mode
and there’s a story based adventure mode
to incite symmetric view always keeps
you wondering what lies ahead and its
art style will give you the feeling of
nostalgia for something you can’t really
remember those elements coupled with the
inventive things that you can craft
create a unique experience that deserves
to be played number three subnautica for
any video game developers out there that
want to dabble in this genre play this
one and take some notes
seriously the mood and atmosphere here
are unparalleled and the sense of
isolation and foreboding truly pushing
to traverse the waters gather materials
and craft your way to survival explore
the ocean depth as you avoid running out
of oxygen as well as alien sea creatures
some biomes are also genuinely beautiful
to look at while others will have you
wanting to see the surface as fast as
the biggest piece of praise we can give
the long dark is its visceral and
punishing portrayal of desolation and
survival the fact that this game’s
conditions beat you down at pretty much
every turn makes these small victories
you achieve that much more rewarding
though it’s a game about choice in which
survival should be the only outcome the
game design is extremely well
thought-out to in the fact that anything
you do is probably going to have a
negative drawback to it
for instance carrying a lot of supplies
will slow you down and whether you want
to risk starving to death or face the
extreme weather while slow is kind of up
to you will have to choose
[Music]
after spending many years in alpha whose
game finally had a full release in
February of 2018 as if surviving weather
and wildlife wasn’t difficult enough now
there’s hordes of other players to
contend with – that’s what makes playing
rust such an exhilarating experience the
game blends gameplay elements from all
of the best survival games out there and
throws you into an intense PvP Royal
Rumble you’ll have to keep coming back
online to make sure you’re still safe in
this hostile world – the last thing you
want is for you to log on look up and
see someone smash your face in with a
rock but that sense of dread is also
what makes it a blast to play do you
