We love survival games. Maybe there’s something hidden in our psyche that needs to test our mettle against the pressures in our savage evolutionary past. Then again, maybe we like the thrill of relying on our wits to keep mutants or zombies out of our digs. Whatever the appeal, survival games like Subnautica, The Forest, and Green Hell have flooded our game libraries in recent years, and they’re some of the most enjoyable games you can find. Whether you like crafting unique items or building epic bases, there’s something to keep everyone satisfied in this genre. To celebrate the best survival games, we’ve put together a top 10 list of our favorites. But before we launch into our list, here are a few things to consider: What classifies as “survival” can be quite subjective. To avoid confusion, we’ve interpreted the genre as games that have the requirement of crafting or building to keep your character alive. Rather than an absolute list, this is a list of some games that we have tried and deemed some of the best in the genre. We will endeavor to update it from time to time to bring you the latest and best in the category.
