Recommendations for Other Games?

[Jinx]

I like survival games but only SOME survival games.

My favorites:
Subnautica
The Long Dark
Valheim

Ones I disliked:
DayZ and almost anything with zombies
Ark
Any super janky early access garbage

One I want to like:
No Man's Sky. I keep trying but I can't get into it. And the terrible frame pacing makes me feel ill.

Any games you guys might recommend for me to try out based on my tastes?

tribes of midgard coming out tomorrow

I'll keep an eye on that, thanks. It looks pretty but I really just want single player and I'm not sure it will work for that.

Raft is definitely up there, as others have said. Since you mention wanting to like NMS, you could also check out Astroneer.

[Subsonic]

Grounded is in EA but it's a fun game as well.

I picked up Raft. Only got to play it for a few minutes but it looks really promising. I'll check it out after work tonight!

Preface- I'm aware this is outside of the genre you're looking for as it only shares a few similarities to the adventure/survival genre but:

RimWorld. You make a colony and must survive attacks similar to Valheim. You can raid other colonies and partake in quests. It doesn't play like Valheim but it's scratched my itch of creating something while being pressured to survive in a weird world.

Post script- it's UI is pretty poop and there's some reading required- check out a YouTube video or two and it'll become more intuitive.

Messaggio originale di Flytrap:

The forest is the gold standard for survival games that are actually good (so no rust and ark)

Dont starve is amazing too but its very unique and brutally hard.

Don't Starve is one I keep going back to again-and-again. Graphics are minimal, but play is very straight-forward and intuitive. Lots of luck involved at the beginning, and you have to figure out some sequences to get past a few weeks but even at higher day counts, it can still get you.

I've been happily going along at over 300 days and still have it all destroyed by a ticked-off critter.

If it must not be a pure survival game, I can recommend:
- Dark Souls III
- Dark Souls remastered
- Factorio (very different, but if you have too much time, you will have no time anymore, if you get the hang of it)
- Metro all parts
- Stalker all parts
- Tomb Raider from 2013

Yeah not quite anything like Valheim but I'll still +1 Rimworld, good suggestion. Bit of a learning curve though. Another one in the same vein is Kenshi. For all it's jankiness and flaws and bugs and unfinishedness (yes, I claim that as a word) it's also one of the best games I've ever played. Start out as a humble weak nobody and end up running your own empire with occupied settlements you build from the ground up. Or not - you can also be a lone wolf wandering the land for whatever good/evil/whatever purpose you choose. There's no other game quite like it.

Rimworld definitely has my attention. I really hate the graphics but I hear you get used to it. Waiting for a sale, though.

The dev doesn't believe in sales, Rimworld only ever goes for 10% off lol

Since this is my first survival type game and I really enjoy it I was also wondering about similar games. The Forest is on sale on PS4 for 7.99. I checked out some beginner gameplay and I will probably buy it, thank you all for the list.

Empyrion is so janky though. Your character feels like he floats through the air. The motorcycle drives like a huge boat. No physics. Can tell the encumbrance system was tacked on. Whole ship building system is convoluted to the point of absurdity. I tried to like Empyrion but it's just terrible. I can't believe it's considered out of early access. Even the enemy names are whatever they're called in the code. Like what? Give the enemies names before you come out of early access.

I vote 7 days to die. It's zombies, janky but one of the best survival games out there because of all the options you have for play style. Just add some freaking parking breaks.
