Mincraft is great for building, but lacks direction, leaving you with nothing to do most of the time, as the actual surviving isn’t that hard to do. Subnautica was nifty, but it was painfully easy. Probably even easier than Minecraft, honestly. I got right to the end on my first try in permadeath mode, and the only reason I didn’t finish it was because a portal glitched me through the ground. Ark looked alright, but I never cared to play it. Only vaguely heard of the other two. The Long Dark seems really nifty. I want to pick it up one of these days. I do wish the game gave me a few more survival tips, though. I felt a little aimless during the trial. And so, ultimately, the one survival game with perfect difficulty & pacing, where it’s not too hard, but not too easy, and you always have something to do until you’ve done everything is… Don’t Starve! Both RoG & Shipwrecked are just absolutely amazing. The game does a lot to always keep you on your feet, with Hound attacks, Deerclops and the Sealnado, while also ensuring you always have time to prepare for what’s next. It gives you just enough of a push in the right direction for you to know what to do, but still trusts you enough to figure out most things on your own. There are also a couple dozen different characters, who all play [i]very[/i] differently, while still keeping that core gameplay, so if you ever get bored you can always try someone new. I want to get into Hamlet, but I haven’t been able to crack the code, yet.
