Survival Games

I've noticed a big explosion of survival games on Steam like DayZ and Rust. 

 

Anyone here who can recommend me a few and break down the details for me? I started itching to try one of these games but the the ridiculous amount of new indie stuff appearing is making me confused on what to buy.

 

 

 

edit: 

no minecraft no minecraft no minecraft no minecraft no minecraft no minecraft no minecraft no minecraft no minecraft no minecraft

p.s. noone has mentioned fallout 3 and NV! :(  on of my most fave games

Dayz - good

Rust - not as good

The Forest - very good

everything else - pretty sh*t

funny how the reviews on "everything else" are mostly positive but the reviewers have only played for less than 4 hours. Despite their steam profiles look decent. It's still fishy.

If you're playing with friends, try DayZ.

If you're alone, try Minecraft or The Forest.

I'm that guy with the GPD Win.

This mostly. 

7 Days to Die is only fun if you really enjoy Minecraft already and just want more zombies with super powers with somewhat better graphics (remember, we are talking about Minecraft here).

They all share one thing and that is not survival.

 

The Forest is in Alpha stage, right now it isn't in a playable stage really. Don't buy it until it is released.

 

Rust is not really Beta but they like to pretend that it is. Don't buy it until they man the fuck up admit that they are not in Beta anymore.

 

DayZ is also not finished yet. Besides DayZ is extremely boring if you play alone.

 

In conclusion, do not support the Early Access bullshit.

The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

I really like Project Zomboid also. It's in a very playable state, and I really like the gameplay mechanics and graphic style.

After reading that, I want Rust. 

Basically realistic Minecraft? I'm in.

erm...well what survival game should I play then?

 

As for Rust...I like the concept of mindlessly throwing rocks at everyone but I don't really feel like giving Garry some money not especially since that PCG interview.

 

 

 

I'm not gonna touch early access games unless its really THAT good.
