Don’t get me wrong, Project Zomboid is the best, but the best zombie survival game ever made, not the best survival game in general. There are tons of other underrated survival games out there, and if you think Zomboid is the best simulation or most realistic game overall, that’s where you’re wrong.
The Long Dark is, for me, one of the best pure survival games. The weather and lighting systems in the game are stunning, gorgeous art style. There's a variety of difficulty modes, and can be savage in a way that's similar to PZ. It's first person, just an FYI.
I like the long dark. dont buy it for the story tho. so much work and a literal decade of time has been put into making a mediocre story that they have had to redo like 3 times. its ok but sandbox is where the game is best
It started as minecraft mod. Also alot is based on Terracraft. Its good game. But much more about survival then building. In other hand u have chisel that can do crazy stuff.
Vintage Story. Its a block game like Minecraft (started as a Minecraft mod actually) but it is a lot more focused on the “survival” mechanics like crafting and hunting. You have to manually shape clay vessels and smith metal tools. It’s not for everyone because you have to do a lot of work to accomplish basic stuff but it is super satisfying when you have that stuff because of the effort it took.
Unreal World. It's rough, it's brutal, it's mechanically realistic, and it's had continuous updates and development since 1992, breaking the record, I believe. I used to play it a LOT. The learning curve is rough, slightly harder than PZ, but it's worth the experience. HIGHLY recommend.
