When it comes to gaming, survival games are the prime choice of millions. Building everything from scratch is an experience like no other. And some games make crafting so much fun! By playing these games, the creativity of the players is tested and enhanced.
And it does not matter whether the survival hacks learned in games would work in real life. It is all about the thrill it gives you! And, in some cases, the games might have higher educational purposes, like teaching children to preserve the earth and its resources.
Now, when we talk about survival games, there are many of them that you can play. This article will present a list of those games that are worth checking out and playing in 2021!
Rust
If you love the thrill of surviving in harsh environments, then Rust is something that might suit your taste. Developed by Facepunch Studios, Rust is a massively multiplayer game where players can choose to live or die.
It entirely depends on how you take up with the environment. For instance, you just have a torch and a rock in the beginning; those can be used for cutting down trees and making a refuge for yourself. For food and clothes, players need to hunt animals and mine ores.
Further, you can create or join clans to fight the enemies or other players. You can even carve weapons or tools using other resources in the game. But beware! Your biggest enemy is not an animal like a bear or wolf in the game; the enemy is the other player.
Valheim
If you are a fan of the Thor franchise from Marvel Studios, you will love this survival game. Valheim is the recently released game that relates to Norse Mythology.
Players in the game are fallen Vikings that need to prove themselves worthy of Valhalla. The game offers an open world filled with adventure, discovery, exploration, and deadly combat. The players have an opportunity to craft ancient arms for themselves! Along with this, the players can hunt different animals to survive in the hostile environment of the game! For this, the players must tackle various challenges and fight bosses (tip: do not do this alone).
The game has different biomes with varying difficulty levels. Players can progress in the game by hunting, eating quality food, and fighting with advanced weapons. In short, it has every aspect to keep you glued for hours.
Grounded
If you are a fan of movies like Up and Angry Birds, then this game might be something that will interest you.
The premise of this game is quite similar to Rust. However, in Grounded, players witness the world from way down. Yes, you heard that right. The game begins with players shrunk to the size of an ant in a backyard. It is the moment the fun begins. The key motive here is to protect yourself from backyard insects and bugs such as spiders, ladybugs, dust mites, and more. On the one hand, where spiders are bound to kill you, ladybugs can help you find food. Players can hunt for resources to make their base a shield from hostile enemies. They can also make weapons like axes, arrows, bows, spears to retaliate against the enemies. All these features make it worth a try! New parts of the backyard can be accessed as the game progresses.
7 Days to Die
7 Days to Die is the classic survival game focused on zombies. However, it is not based on a zombie apocalypse event. The game starts with you as a sole survivor after nuclear World War 3, where your only motive is to survive, no matter what.
Navezgane, Arizona, is the place where the players spawn and begin their struggles for survival. Through the game, players have to feed themselves with food and water to keep themselves alive. Other than that, they also need to be ready for their ultimate enemies, the zombies that come every 7 days to hunt in the area of humans.
Make sure that you are backed with all the necessary supplies to face your ultimate enemy as they only stop either by killing you or killing themselves.
Eco
Games like Valheim offer a mystical experience through uncharted lands. However, Eco will not give you the supernatural thrill you might seek. Instead, it is a rather realistic game, with studies emphasizing its educational potential. According to researchers, Eco is a brilliant game to teach people about environmental issues, recycling, and consequences.
One minor but significant difference is how players will get rid of goods they no longer need. In any other survival game, you could simply delete it. In Eco, you cannot delete anything. Every single item you retrieve, or craft will have its place, and you will need to figure out how to dispose of it safely.
Hence, if you are looking for a realistic survival game, Eco is perfect!
Final Thoughts
If you are feeling bored and want to try something thrilling, it might be worth a shot to play these games. These games will show you how to survive in hostile environments or maybe tell you some skills that would help you stay alive in case of real-life disasters!
Most of these games are available on Steam. If you cannot find them in the library, it could be that the game is not available in your country. In other cases, the price might be enough to make you return to the main Steam page. Luckily, you do not have to give up: a gaming VPN can give you access to all games you want. This tool masks your IP address, meaning Steam or other providers won’t be able to restrict your access. It can also help you find games at better prices, which is always a plus.
