Desperate for a great survival game

[LostInTheStatic]

Give me some suggestions please.

My favorites have been 7 Days to Die, Conan Exiles, Green Hell - stuff like that. Open world, survival crafting, pitting you against the elements (or zombies...). Chopping down trees, mining rocks, catching wildlife.

Doesn't even necessarily need to be on Earth... Either way I'm desperate for another survival game and can't seem to find any. I can't "handle" minecraft or valheim (that weird, voxely, blocky, logo-y crap really messes with me....)

Any suggestions?

i just don't like talking about 'climate change' when over 30 years ago the same thing was called 'global warming' that nobody did enough about except change the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ name because everything kept getting warmer because not enough has been done to reduce it.

we only live in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ world because we have ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ world leaders, we should really try to change that when we can take ourselves away from our happier and better life games, maybe?

Ah thtta's a common dishonest misnterpreatation of what happened.

It WAS called climate change then but that doesn't make it WRONG. The data at that time thought that the net effect was that the planet would just heat up, ergo the name.

But science never makes absolutel proclamations. That's what dishonest actors make out. Science offers the best explanation according to the data they have at that time and is ALWAYS fluid.

And you know what corrected it? MORE BETTER SCIENCE.

It is well demonstrated that claimate change is very real and as stated.

i am not saying it isn't real, I am saying it stems from the same origins, back then though, yes, it was based on 'the greenhouse effect' and 'greenhouse gases' and their affects on the environment, politicians only listen to the scientists when the problems are too big to keep sweeping under the carpet

Actually they don't.

They don't listen to them if it affects their money. That's why such big businesses are doing their best to put out propaganda to deny climate change.

You're right that back in the 1980s we had the CFCs causing the ozone layer to be reduced at the poles. But that was still part of cliamte change. It was just a more important part of it though.

What actually changed was basically just refinement. We did rather successfully tackle the ozone layer by getting rid of the CFCs in fridges and such, but of course the other aspects are being largely ignored.

Only two recommendations for the absolute MASTER of them all: The Long Dark....?? Damn.

Anyway, here's another recommendation: it's brutally awesome. Fantastic and quite unique art style. I only recommend the sandbox - not the single player experience. The latter is way too easy and just isn't fun.

Prepare. You will be tested.

And not to overblow it, but the audio is frankly awesome. It REALLY has an awesome audio design that really makes you feel you're lost in a lonely wilderness.

Whole-heartedly agree. Absolutely fantastic sound AND music. The atmosphere in general is just phenomenal. The lighting, too, is so, damned real.

I personally don't get scared by horror games, though I absolutely love them as I find them the most atmospheric of all.

Nothing better to me than banging headphones on pluging them into a decent audio amp, turning the lights off and immersing myself.

And there's so very few games that really use sound design properly these days. Killing Floor does a great job of stereo placement as you can hear exactly where enemies are coming from and how far they are away.

But games like Dead Space and The Long Dark just have the most clinically accurate environment sounds they're just easy to fool you into thinking you are there.

Ancestors doesnt work. Your monkeys get stuck on a tree until they starve. I wanted to get into it but couldnt get that far in a game because of that.

Thats true. People who listen to the gov or nasa and talk on twitter vs actual scientists and the people who read their articles.

Valheim doesn't have to be blocky.

The government is self absorbed, i look at nasa for the pictures, i never used twitter, the actual scientists i know are most interesting people to chat with and i don't know anybody who openly admits to reading such articles
i can only guess that you must think Facebook is OK, as you do not mention it, there are many Professors and World Experts on there

Yes, one thing that annoys me is the plenty of glossy Youtube channels that bang on about the new things in science and they are HORRENDOUS at basic science and critical thinking.

THey will, say, big up what Elon Musk puts out without realising what he says is ridiculous and impossible.

They truly haven't helped things.

The bottom line is critical thinking. Anyone who makes a claim - no matter where it comes from- even NASA or whereever - must be backed up by evidence. And that evidence must be looked over to see if it is good.

if it ain't, then it gets rejected. If it's good then sure it'll be beleived.

It's really basic critical thinking.
