Any other good survival games like TLD?

Looking for a good survival game similar to TLD. It doesn't have to be a first person game. I tried The Forest, but supply respawn is braking the immersion. I also tried Subnautica, but it is more about exploration than surviving.

I don't know other like The Long Dark but i like Ark. Dinosaur themed game that you can play solo, coop or multi. With tons of mods that adds tons of more hours of playtime. Explore, craft, build, tame dinosaurs, get enought and strong dinos to go fight bosses and lot more.

TLD is unique. Not many other games that can be compared, depending on what you like or don't like in the game. Green Hell is supposed to be similar, and some say Stranded Deep, Bermuda- Lost Survival, Neo-Scavenger, and a few others. But I have not played any of those, Subnautica I have a good number of hours in, and agree, it is not really comparable.

Don't Starve, if you like the cartoony graphics, more supernatural element, and a bit more wry humor, would be more comparable IMHO. Possibly a bit more difficult and punishing in some aspects, easier in others. But the only one I can really say is a good comparison, since I have played both, and enjoy both.

I think the quality of The Long Dark makes the difference. Is not on develpment to get advantage from Early Access like many others.(Yeah, long from released, i know.) The good job done by Hinterland is transmited to the game and people love it. Of course other not but if you give a try... maybe you can get the touch Hinterland want and pretty sure you get into The Long Dark.

The closest game I've played to Long Dark is Stalker (CoP) with the Misery mod. That's very survival oriented....also, lots of shooty stuff ! Also, Skyrim with the iNeed and the Hunting Guild mods.

The game that comes the closest in my opinion to The Long Dark would have to be DayZ. DayZ and TLD share alot of similarities with their central focus being on hardcore realism in terms of survival with thoughtful implementation of survival mechanics. Main difference between the two is DayZ is more PVP oriented and relies greatly on real human interactions that drives the tension and atmosphere of the world where as TLD relies more on mother nature.

I'm surprised more folks haven't played

Axes, guns, looting cupboards, chased by dogs, huge natural environment, hunting, cooking, hunger, no hand holding... its basically TLD only British.

Based on the video I would say I was not in Britain quite long time...:-D

Not evaluate the game as I dont know it, but pretty sure such visual art dont suit survival game in my book;)

I tried many looking for some base on realism challenge as TLD.. no luck.

Had very good time with Subnautica, but its survival aspects are not even close (damn good game otherwise)

Would say Dont starve is indeed very good as well, just I have it just in my index more like multiplayer game and the theme/art is not 100% my cup of tea.

As someone mention in other thread This war of mine is very good game as well that cna be considered as survival.

Played Fade to silence too - nice game with suriviving coldy conditions, lot of action combat with unnatural creatures and some other not realistic things, some bugs as it was recently released.. Nice and worthy to go through once though.

Subscribing to see other tips.

I suggest trying out Project Zomboid.
