Need a singleplayer survival game, anyone got suggestions ?

[Foxy_Drakaina]

So i think the only real survival game i've played that is on steam that is single player that i enjoyed before joining steam community was "the long dark" << witch was really cool in survival mode, never played the story that much.

now that i'm on steam and looking through all the games <<at least by listing what i'm looking for i feel like i can't tell if the games are good or not, too many over rated games are being thrown in my face and weird 2d sidescrollers that dosnt fit into the catergory that i'm looking in is taking up so much space that it all becomes chaotic to look for games .....

Thought is was about time to ask some other users on steam what games they enjoyed that was survival singleplayer, so i could at least get a list that is possible to find a game in, your guys' list.

(I don't need multiplayer because appearently most multiplayer games demands that i install third part software on my PC witch i'm simply just not interested in doing just to play a game.)

Thank you for taking your time to either help
or amuse me with your troll minded comments

no... third part software required to play, it does look good, but i'm not making any agreements with anyone just to play a game << unless the agreement works viceversa.

The following are not all survival games I have or know of, but the ones I have played and like:






(start new game with survival mode)




(Oxygen, no food)


These two are different:

Throw in my money for 7 days to die. Single player and you can play with friends too.

i remember this one from it's release, very enjoyable

(this is a good suggestion, the weird 2d sidescrollers i'm reffering to are the ones that seems like they should be on someones private homepage and not on a gamehub like steam)

only problem is battleye, what happens if i play a game with battleye and the softwares automatic banning system chooses to ban me with out any cheats being used?? i've heard several cases of this happening where people contact battleye support and they don't react on the email they get...
i mean all the games they sit on are sweet and awesome, but i don't wanna throw away money just because the support team is acting as if they don't excist or have to care about system error bans.. and don't you loose your bought rights to play all games running on battleye if that happens too ?? also they request to install drivers that dmg the power core on PC's ... i really do not wanna waste money on anything related to a software with that many bad reviews caused of inactive support team.

7 days to die doesn't use battleye. They use EAC which is optional and you can chose not to use it and play on servers that are not EAC protected. Many servers don't use EAC and rely on private passwords as its more effective then anti-cheat.

Plus there is single player in the game so you don't even need to play online if you don't want to.

I'll give you a rundown of the game.
The Forest: One of the better survival games. Survival horror. The AI works great, there's a fair amount to build and explore. Kind of creepy at times. It's a fully fleshed out game and they are adding to it . I recommend this game.

Subnautica: Doesn't have everything advertised from the store page. Terraformer and the DNA device aren't in the game. Beyond that it's a good enough game. A lack of weapons makes it frustrating at times. Although this game is unfinished it's actually fairly good as longas you don't mind putting up with bugs. Personally I'd wait for Subnautica 2 to come out instead of buying this game.

7 Days to Die: Survial Horde Crafting game. The Developers and Moderators for this game are terrible people who are outright hostile towards people who are negative towards their game. Their game is alright I guess...it's not amazing, it's not terrible. The combat besides guns suck and even gun play is kind of crappy. Hunting for supplies and building your base is fun but the zombie AI is broken. The newest patch made the game kind of suck in many ways and is poorly optimized. The Devs are taking over a year (literally) to release new patches for a game stuck in Alpha. I think this game will probably remain unfinished. I don't recommend this game.

Terrarria. If you don't mind 2d, this game is amazing. Crap graphics. Lots of thought went into the development with various holiday events and NPCs to build the ultimate base. Play by yourself or with friends. This game has a fair amount of content. Highly recommend it.

State of Decay Year 1 Survival.: Dated game where you feel it in the graphics and the controller. Has some neat features and makes you care about each individual person in your base, most of which you can control, each with different skills. This game has limited replayability and has a fair amount of grind. If you don't mind dated graphics or controlling I'd recommend this, although not very highly.

Space Engineers. No. Game lacks content and feels abandoned. I'm not sure the Developers know what they want to do with the game and the games crap.

Green Hell: game lacks content but they've been doing an update 1 per month so far. And they seem to add a fair amount of content with each update. As for a survival game it's starting to shape up to be a nice game, but currently the lack of content sucks and combat is terrible. I'd recommend this game, especially if it continues to release content.

Fallout 4 Survival Mode Difficulty. With survival mode difficulty it becomes a normal survival game. Worry about food, water disease, sleep, etc and to be honest while it's very hard it's also very fun. If you play it on the hardest difficulty once you get used to it, you won't be able to play any other way. Highly recommend this game. Plus there's just a ton of content.

I'd disagree on 7 days to die, and unlike most of the games listed its highly moddable and has a robust modding community that the dev's work with so there are a ton of great mods that add even more replayability to the game. Plus the dev's communicate, work closely with the community and the modders and listen to feedback.

Some people dislike the changes that makes it so you actually have to work to get high end gear now, and can't sit in a hole in the ground crafting the best gear in the game anymore

I've seen the Devs berate the modding community and I've seen moderaters not only give bad information but call people names shortly before banning them, for simply criticizing the game.

Easy way to tell which of us is wrong. If you want to purchase this game open a question in their discussion. Make it negative feedback (but polite) about their game and wait for the page to be deleted.

As for the reason people dislike the game now. The newest patch took the ability to craft a base using the Forge and made the ability to craf the forge at higher level 20. This essentially means you can't build a base until you get to level 20, which several days and possibly a horde night sitting on your thumbs. Besides that they removed various traps that you could build and reworked the zombie AI. Now the zombies follow a straight line to you. So instead of spreading out, they'll destroy one piece of your wall and all walk single file to come eat you. The best defense people make is one that tricks the AI into falling from a raised pathway doing fall damage to which they repeat the loop endlessly until they're dead from fall damage.

Or since they're all in a straight line easy headshots. They've made the gamer harder and boring.

Which sucks because you could built that defense on the first day. Everything else takes too much supplies to maintain especially since they removed various traps.
