Games Like Dune: Awakening (2026)

Shared: Survival Crafting, Base Building

Crash-land on an ocean planet, then spend dozens of hours too scared to go deeper, but going anyway. Subnautica is survival-crafting with genuine dread and beauty.

Shared: Base Building

Hardcore open-world survival in a post-Soviet wasteland where other players are the real threat. No hand-holding, no respawns with your gear.

Shared: Base Building

Hyper-realistic open-world survival on a brutal prison island. Think DayZ with deeper metabolism sim and serious gear progression, but years of early access baggage.

Shared: Base Building

Surviving alone was already brutal - surviving with friends who make catastrophic decisions is another beast entirely. A deep, unforgiving co-op survival game that rewards patience, preparation, and someone on the team who knows what a Science Machine actually does.

Shared: Base Building

Wrangle, feed, and crossbreed slimes on an alien ranch in this endlessly cheerful first-person sim that somehow makes spreadsheet farming feel like a vacation.
