Progression Survival Games

[DaveKerk]

Hey all!

With the summer starting I have a lot more free time and going to have some more money. Looking for a survival game that will take a very long time to complete. I very much loved 7 Days to Die. So I'm looking for a similar progression type game where you start at nothing and can move towards something super cool! Like cars and what ever other crazy cool contraptions you could make. I have been eyeing ARK, with the start at nothing and can get to like crazy things. However the $60 price tag is something I would like to avoid if possible. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Do you want single player, co-op, or pvp?

The Forest comes to mind which is single player and co-op for $20 on steam. You start out on an island after a plane crash and you need to build shelter, gather food and resources, build up a base, explore. The map is decent sized and with all the under ground caves there is quite a bit to explore. Oh, and there's naked cannibals that stand outside your shelter and stare at you like a fat kid looking through the window of a cake shop.
No guns or cars in it though. Pretty much just axes, spears, bow and arrows. You can build a raft though.

Single player, but co-op as an option is a bonus.

Tried The Forest, didn't like it too much, or just didn't play it enough. Maybe I should give it another shot.

Space Engineer is quite nice if you like sci-fi games. Also, if you don't mind third person and city building, Frostpunk from the devs of This War of Mine has amazing art and great gameplay.
