Best survival game on steam?

[NoobsALot266]

I've played multiple survival titles, such as the forest, sons of the forest, and don't starve. This game actually has less grinding then all three surprisingly, and the macro-elements make it so every food source is viable. In the other games I listed, you only need to find one or two easy food sources, and you are good for the rest of the game. Every single nut, mushroom, fish, berry, ect.. have use in this game, and it is recommended to use ALL of them. Also, every item seems renewable in this game, unlike the other games.

Forest is solid. Sons is garbage.

This game has a lot of bugs and performance issues.

Ya it is one thing I really liked with this game, that you couldnt just find and eat one kind of thing. And different things will cause different issues. Like you can cook and eat a spider but it effects your sanity.

I feel like the crafting system is a bit overcomplicated. Tinder is almost impossible to find. Sanity doesn't get restored by sleeping.

Tinder is every small bush in the game. Harvest it, drop it somewhere and it dries out. Collect it in stacks of three and put them in your backpack, store some in chests. Bird nest work too, just hard to find at times.

Tinder can be found almost everywhere. Cutting down palm trees give you fibers (Tinder), letting leaves dry out also work, and can be found everywhere. Birds nests can be used as tinder too. So tinder is 100% easy to get and renewable. The crafting system is click and drag, basically the same as the forest. And sanity is restored by many things, such as resolving the issue causing sanity drain, eating, and standing next to a fire.

Almost every single item have a use in this game. Many plants you find are extremely useful to survival, spoiled food can be used as compost (gives fertilizer and maggots), maggots can be used to heal infections, and when leaves dry out they can be used for starting a fire. Even a burt out fire will give charcoal, which is used for stocking fires and curing food poisoning.

The forest definitely preforms better than this game, and the bugs are a bit weird. Once you figure out that things have a spawnpoint (similar to the forest), things become a bit easier. I kinda just recommend lowing render distance and quality, which helped for me.

i played it during the steam free weekend. For me there where huge gaps between the tutorial and even the easiest level of the survival mode. Even after 8 hours of Gameplay i couldn`t unlock a blue print crafting a water purger. every time i left the reconed area i ended dying mostly through snake bites and some other creature i wasn?t even able to detect. My games all eneded with a jaguar attack at the same time anyways. i like difficult games. but i don`t like to not to be told how to achieve it. definatley not interested in buying this.

There seem to be issues with saving i just read, faced the same problem. Controlls are clunky, if you need micromoves to pick up dried leaves from a cut tree and a lot of simliar stuff also cut my fun.

Check out Survival: Fountain of Youth if you have not yet done so already. Good story line nice visuals (especially the sailing ones), nice building and decorations, animal enemies only and they can be tough, especially at the beginning plus they included animal bosses as well, which you can dismiss and not engage if you do not want to and still continue with the main story.

i have a near top end system that i just upgraded in September. i expect it to run well on a 5 year old game. is that too much to ask? apparently so.

Other great survivals i played: 7 days to die and Project Zomboid (yes it is zombies oriented but the survival aspect is great) ... and for other one, The long dark.
