UnReal World

Old gem from the past that is still being updated to this day. Best blend of roguelike and survival imo... or should I say... inehmo.

Great game. I've gotten used to the game, and wow. It's a lot more fun than I thought. It comes off strong, learning curve and wide. Best wishes. Low key best game.

A genuinely unique and well crafted game in a world of AI and capitalism!

GOAT viking hobo survival game

No game quite like it (that i know of). This is a chill yet brutal survival game that's ACTUALLY about survival (unlike the vast majority of modern day "survival" games). You're just surviving in a huge randomized nature map. It's got everything from different kinds of hunting and fishing, as well as foraging and crafting (weaponry, shelters, clothing, etc.). On top of that, if you manage to make nature your b!tch, you can always go visit tribal villages and do some trading or questing. To me, it's unique in the sense that it's not like most other survival games where there's some weird over arching theme. There's no zombies (like DayZ) or dinosaurs (like Ark survival) or elder dragons (like Minecraft). Nope. You're just a guy (or girl) in the woods in iron age Finland. PS: Game holds the Guinness world record for longest game in development, as well as for being the first ever survival game. With that in mind, the controls and graphics are obviously ancient as f*ck. This might not be for you if you're unfamiliar with old school roguelike controls (like Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup) and don't have the time (or willingness) to learn the hotkeys and game mechanics. If you do want to…

UnReal World approaches survival from a direction that feels dramatically different from most modern games in the genre. Instead of surrounding the player with quest markers, cinematic objectives, elaborate base-building trees, and constant rewards, it places them in a harsh wilderness inspired by Iron Age Finland and expects them to learn how to exist within it. Developed primarily by Sami Maaranen with Erkka Lehmus as co-designer and published by Enormous Elk, it is an extraordinarily detailed mixture of traditional roguelike design, role-playing, historical simulation, and open-ended wilderness survival. Character creation immediately reinforces this freedom. Players can choose from several cultures and develop practical abilities involving hunting, fishing, tracking, cooking, hideworking, herblore, combat, and general wilderness survival. There is no requirement to become a legendary warrior or complete a grand campaign. A character can instead become a trapper, hunter, fisherman, trader, explorer, homesteader, or some combination of these lifestyles. This lack of a rigid destination makes progression feel personal because success is largely defined by whatever goals the playe…
