1.Ark: Survival Evolved

The age of the dinosaurs returns to our lives with this exciting first-person survival game. It is not by far the most refined video game on the market , but it is one of the most popular and fun in recent years. It has many features that make its development great and an enriching experience of survival and action. Everything takes place on a dangerous island full of dinosaurs.

The game is an open world, so we have the entire map unlocked from the beginning, it started as an early access game, so the first users suffered endless bugs that prevented them from enjoying it in depth. Now we are facing an adventure in which to stay safe we ​​will have to get food and water , adapt to sudden changes in temperature.

Even if we disconnect, our character will continue to be immersed in the world, so it is important to build a shelter to spend the night safe from the dangers that inhabit the area. We will be able to grow our own food and form a tribe with other inhabitants , something that is strongly recommended since cooperation can save our lives.

2.Subnautics

Different and unique game like no other, in which we find a beautiful underwater world that we must enter, beautiful as well as dangerous. We will enter an alien underwater world in which life brims with all kinds of creatures. Our mission will be to survive all the dangers that are hidden, among which the fauna stands out, much more lethal than it may seem at first.

We will be very interested in getting a shelter where we can rest and for this we will look for resources throughout the extensive map. We will be able to build our own vehicles to make long journeys more bearable and avoid those dangerous creatures that lie in wait for us in every corner. Subnautica is a highly recommended game if you want to enjoy a beautiful and dangerous experience.

3.Forest

What is the worst thing that can happen to you when you survive a terrible plane crash? We will think that after suffering that accident nothing that happens to us can be worse, but our protagonist has the bad luck to land in a huge forest full of mutant cannibals , in the purest style the hills have eyes. The game gives us no respite, since at all times we have the feeling that something is watching us and is about to attack us. Feeling of never being safe, we cannot lower our guard because at any moment we will have to flee or face a fight.

This adventure has dangers behind each tree, dangers that we have to face, a good resource against this is the creation of weapons. We will build our camps and bonfires to combat the cold . But we cannot hide forever, since we will need to explore to collect supplies and resources to continue prospering in the adventure.

4.Conan Exiles

As the name itself suggests, this game is based on the atmosphere of Conan the Barbarian . A world where we will have to make an effort to recover the glory of our clan and conquer the maximum possible territories. To achieve our goal, we must explore a rich world full of elements and places full of resources, but always paying attention to the weather, since both cold and heat can be lethal . We will face ruthless human enemies but also creatures.

At first it may seem like a very basic game where we only fight and rest, but its world is full of corners where we will discover many hidden secrets . We will have to face battles between clans, sieges, construction of cities and their defense. If you are a fan of the Conan universe, this game will make you spend hours of fun.

5.DayZ

One of the pioneers of the survival genre on PC, known and very popular among fans of the apocalyptic world hit by a zombie epidemic . His games are completely online, in which we will meet users from all over the world, but we can also play with our friends and form a good squad to defend ourselves both from the dead who want to devour us, and from human enemies who will want to loot us to keep everything we've got.

Chernarus, the setting of the game is a world plagued by the abandonment and carelessness of its citizens due to the pandemic it has suffered, where the only thing left on its streets are the undead. We must survive and be careful with our wounds as they can become infected or even spread diseases. The weather is also important and we will have to build our own shelters , since it will be one of the few places where we can be totally safe. The only drawback is the community, the maintenance by the developers is poor and some users use hacks to annoy other users.

6.State of Decay 2

More living dead and more world devastated by a pandemic, is the cover letter of this survival video game. In this case, each game is different, because each time we start the objectives to be achieved and its inhabitants will be different . Not only will we have to face zombies to survive, we will also have to be very attentive to other humans who will want to loot our shelter.

The game is online but the single player side is fun and rewarding. It is recommended to play it online with some friends and cooperate to make the experience something deeper, where sharing and fighting by joining forces will be our best asset. For all this we will constantly receive rewards , which will make us progress and have the feeling that every time we play we have improved a little.

7.Green Hell

Green Hell as the title itself tells us, this video game is set in the Amazon jungle. We will be totally alone in this beautiful but at the same time terrifying landscape, where our main task will be to fight to survive. We will have to manage not only to create a fire to cook or warm ourselves, we will also have to find a way to build our shelter or do it in a cave, with the danger that this entails.

It looks like a normal survival game set in the jungle, until we realize that our protagonist is losing his mind . Let's say that it is totally compressible in a situation of this depth. Not only can we starve, but we will also have to heal any possible wounds or infections that we suffer. It includes a rich inspection system of the body, which makes it much easier for us to heal it. We can enjoy the solo or cooperative multiplayer adventure.

8.Rust

In Rust the adventure begins as God brought us into the world , totally naked, which conveys to us the urgent need to move forward to alleviate the situation. We will look for stones and logs to make a fire, to use the meat to feed ourselves and the skins to dress ourselves. This seems easy, but the game is full of other human users who will mostly just want to steal from us . Therefore we tend to fight against them to be victorious.

Wild animals and humans are a constant in Rust, so we will have to build our village and fortify it to protect ourselves from them. It is an online game so humans are other players from around the world . The key is item crafting, with a clear focus on building. As we move forward we will see that the best option is to form alliances with other players to fight together against all dangers and share resources.

9.Minecraft

The most popular video game of all time, without a doubt the best example of the popularity of this genre. It is a nice game for all audiences but full of hostility. The aspect of this title is undoubtedly the crafting of items and the construction of infrastructures . When everything seems calmer, we can be invaded by enemies, from creatures to other users.

Countless kinds of enemies inhabit its immense world, so you should take advantage of every moment to collect as many resources as possible. Exploration is one of the most important aspects of the game , since it depends on it that we manage to advance, we will enter a multitude of dungeons and for this we will have to be well prepared, both in weapons and armor.

10.Astroneer

We finish the list with something different from the rest, an intergalactic game where what we explore are seven planets from another solar system . We will have the ability to modify the terrain and explore every inch of each planet at our whim. It will be very important to collect all kinds of resources as usual in this genre, as well as create vehicles or bases to rest.

Like most of the members on this list, it can be played cooperatively, which will greatly expand the game options. Not only will we be able to explore the surface, we will also have an underground subworld where valuable treasures will be hidden to discover as well as materials to improve our ship.
