A brutal, no-zombies survival sim set in a frozen Canadian wilderness where poor planning kills you slower and colder than any monster would.

Don't Starve Together
83
Shared: Permadeath
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.

RimWorld
87
Shared: Emergent Narrative
Hundreds of hours in and I still haven't seen everything RimWorld can throw at a colony, that alone tells you whether this one deserves a slot on your drive.

Darkest Dungeon®
84
Shared: Permadeath
Stress kills faster than swords here, and your Vestal will crack before your Leper lands a hit. Whether that loop hooks you or breaks you is the only question worth asking.

#5
The Long Dark
77
Shared: Permadeath
A brutally honest survival sim where the Canadian wilderness is the only villain. No zombies, no jump scares, just cold math and bad decisions.
from €2.07·Compare prices →
