Weapons are pretty unbalanced and the AI can be a real dumbass at times, but the game isn't bad if you just want a quick co-op zombie fix. It works well as a gap filler between games like L4D2, Back 4...
I jumped into Lost Rift expecting the typical early-access curve, but i've got to hand it to the devs -> they've been really quick to listen and act. After some community posts pointing out weird e...
The Alters has a really interesting premise where you create alternate versions of yourself, each with different skills to survive and progress. At first, it feels fresh and creative, but the novelty ...
Myth of Empires is one of those survival MMOs that tries to stand out by doing things a little differently and in some areas it succeeds - but overall, it just isn't my kind of game. The progression s...
When i first picked up Smalland: Survive the Wilds, my immediate thought was "oh, this looks a lot like Grounded". On the surface, the two games share a very similar idea: you're shrunk down to tiny s...
Duckside sounded like it could've been a funny and fresh twist on the survival genre but in practise it fels more like a cheap rust ripoff with ducks slapped on top. The core loop is almost identical ...
Heat Death: Survival Train is one of those games i can't quite explain why, but it feels really relaxing to play. Maybe it's just because i've always loved the whole Snowpiercer survival theme and thi...
Once Human is a survival game that feels like it was designed with psychological tricks baked right into its core loop. The way progression works, the way rewards are handed out, and even the pacing o...
The highrise tries to stand out by offering a survival experience set in a limited but thematic area - much like Snowpiercer with its train, except here it's about surviving inside a skyscraper. On pa...
Palworld is one of those games that blew up fast and after spending a good amount of time with it, i think i understand why. It's ot the most complex survival game on the market - in fact, i'd argue t...
Chernobylite 2 unfortunately failed to live up to the hype built by the success of the first game. While Chernobylite 1 felt like a complete and polished experience, the sequel comes across as extreme...
Rust is one of those rare survival games that felt destined for greatness right from the very beginning. It was made by a well known figure in the gaming industry, so expectations were high and honest...
I've been trying not to be too salty but Frostpunk 2 just isn't Frostpunk 1 and for me that's a problem because the original was better in a lot of ways. It's hard to pin down one major flaw but there...
As someone who played the earlier Dead Island games, i went into Dead Island 2 expecting more of the same repetitive zombie smashing. To my surprise, this entry is way less boring and much more refine...
Sunkenland isn't the prettiest game out there but it does deliver a decent mix of survival and exploration on a flooded world. It feels more like a gap filler than a long term obsession, something to ...
I play a lot of survival games and Subnautica honestly surprised me in a good way. Graphic-wise it looks decent. Not the most mind-blowing visuals compared to some AAA titles, but the art direction mo...
Return to Moria isn't your typical sandbox survival game. It's more about exploring ancient dwarven ruins than building elaborate bases. I came in expecting a Valheim - style grindfest but the game do...
Okay, I'll admit it - I slept on The Outlast Trials for way too long. Picked it up nearly a year after release because I'm not a horror games fan at all. The little bits i saw on twitch just looked li...
Dysmantle starts off super fun - smashing everything in sight and slowly upgrading your gear feels really satisfying. But once you get to the endgame, it turns into a repetitive grindfest with barely ...
I really wanted to love Last Oasis. The concept was unique, the walking cities and nomadic survival idea felt super fresh. For the first few hours, the game gave me that "wow" feeling, but unfortunate...
As someone who was hooked by the demo (before the release), it's honestly wild how much more fun that early version was compared to the final release. Something changed along the way - gameplay felt c...
Nightingale is one of those games that took me a while to actually get into. I gave up on it twice before finally pushing through and finishing it - and honestly, I'm glad I did but it was not a smoot...
Astroneer is one of the most unique space exploration games I've played, with a super satisfying resource management system that feels both chill and strategic. Instead of menus and stats, everything ...
I've put a decent chunk of hours into Subsistence and I've got mixed feelings about it. The game is all about grinding but not just in the usual "chop tree, mine rock" sense. It's more strategic. You ...
Hogwarts Legacy makes an amazing first impression with its detailed world, magical atmosphere and the pure joy of exploring Hogwarts. The first half of the game feels fresh and exciting, especially fo...
Raft isn't just a survival game - it defined its own genre. When it first came out, it felt like the beginning of a whole new wave of creativity in indie survival crafting games. The core loop is simp...
Enshrouded tries to be an open-world survival like Valheim but it's more of a survival-on-rails experience. Sure, the world looks big but the fog, broken terrain and blocked paths really funnel you do...
I have played hundreds of game in my lifetime already and Outpost: infinity Siege instantly hooked me in a way most games don't. Within the first five minutes, I literally had goosebumps - no joke - a...
Soulmask definitely offers a ton of content and depth but honestly, it feels a bit overcomplicated for me. I know a lot of people hyped about programming slaves to automate tasks - and yeah, that's a ...
As an open minded gamer, I honestly felt like I stepped into a time machine with stalker 2: heart of chornobyl. Right from the start, everything about it screams early 2000s - not in a nostalgic way b...As a hardcore sandbox survival gamer who went in hyped to play with friends, Pax Dei turned out to be one of the biggest disappointments in recent years. At first glance, the world looks promising but...
Astrometica totally gives off strong Breathedge 1 vibes - like playing Subnautica but launched into space - and it really builds on that formula. You're constantly gathering resources, crafting better...
I wanted to love this game because the concept is awesome - community-driven MMO with crafting and exploration? Sounds perfect. But honestly, it feels super rough right now. The movement is the bigges...
So, I've sunk about 350 hours into Dune: Awakening and honestly... this game SLAPS. First thing you notice is the world design - it's absolutely stunning. The vibe of Arrakis is just chef's kiss. You ...
