It's worth noting that our definition of "survival" isn't laser-focused on only those of the first-person variety, or those that have hunger bars. You'll find all sorts on this list, many of which have barely anything in common with each other, beyond the fact that you've got to y'know, survive. 1. State Of Decay 2 2. Ark: Survival Evolved 3. The L...
In Brendy's State Of Decay 2 review, he reckons it's an ever-expanding to-do list, which is absolutely what it is. But hey, if you're fine with that, then the game can be a strong survival 'em up with your mates as you fend off flesh-chompers left, right, and centre. Hayden reckons its use of permadeath makes it not only the story of survival but c...
Progression is Ark: Survival Evolved's greatest feat, as you slowly transform from a washed-up cave dweller into a dinosaur-taming legend. If you're a dino fan, then you'll well catered for here, as you're eventually able to use them as forms of transport or the equivalent of combine harvesters. And if you're a fan of the traditional first-person s...
The Long Dark’s vast, snow-blanketed wilderness is a harsh and uncompromising place. Its episodic story mode, Wintermute, serves as a gentle introduction to its harsh, yet beautiful world, but it's the game's survival mode that's the true, open-ended test of your mettle, dropping you into a freezing world and then leaving you to find your own way. ...
A zombie survival game that seems reluctant to leave early access, Project Zomboidis an isometric sandbox that drops you in a town and tasks you with simply not dying, which is easier said than done when hundreds of zombies are waiting to make a snack out of your brain. Project Zomboid’s obsessively detailed simulation deserves top billing. Take ve...
There’s more than a hint of Fallout in Neo Scavenger’s wasteland, especially if you survive for long enough for the story to start unfurling, but where Fallout is a post-apocalyptic power fantasy, Neo Scavenger never passes up an opportunity to remind you how vulnerable you are. This is a game where a little scratch can ultimately kill you. It’s me...
V Risingis an early access survival game with a hint of MMORPG and made by the Battlerite devs. If you thought that was a real combo of genres, then get this: you play as a vampire. Neat, right? It follows a similar structure to Valheim, in that you've got to gather resources, power up, and take on a multitude of bosses. However, it's very much got...
Relaxation might not be what you associate with games in which you'll die by standing around too much, butAmong Trees manages it. You're dropped in a beautiful forest, in which you can barely move for bumping into cute bunnies and woodpeckers, and then set about exploring. You scavenge for food to eat, but you quickly transition from stuffing raw m...
The first release of Finnish survival roguelike UnReal Worlddidn't contain all of the seeds that would make it one of the world's greatest and most distinctive survival games. By the mid-nineties, solo developer Sami Maaranen had discovered the formula that would allow the game to endure for more than two decades. Still in development, with regular...
Sin called it a roguelike you could play for the rest of your life, and "UnReal World set in a near future" where everything has gone wrong. You start by generating a world, then assign stats to a character, and then head off to survive. That might mean hiding in abandoned buildings, scavenging for food, and repairing machinery with the mechanics s...

- Palworld. You’d be forgiven for thinking this is only a game like Pokemon, but Palworld has far more in common with many survival games on this list and perhaps even a few management games like Factorio.
- Enshrouded. For something a little more grounded but still fantasy-based, Enshrouded is a recent open-world game that takes inspiration from recent Zelda games and Valheim, a great survival game in its own right.
- Don’t Starve. The most horrifying idea of most survival games is having to do it alone in a hostile environment full of unknown threats. That’s exactly what Don’t Starve makes you do, as it’s an entirely solo experience.
- Crsed: FOAD. This free-to-play battle royale started out as Cuisine Royale – a PUBG spoof, but when players kept coming back, it became apparent that Darkflow Software had found something that’s largely absent across the battle royale games genre: light-hearted fun.
