Games Like The Last FARMER (2026)

Shared: Base Building, Resource Management

Permadeath, zero hand-holding, and a Tim Burton fever dream aesthetic: Don't Starve earns every hour it steals from you, but only if trial-and-error is your idea of a good time.

Shared: Base Building

Crash a plane, lose your son, then spend 30+ hours building spike traps and slowly losing your mind to cannibals. Solo or with up to 8 friends online, this one earns its Metacritic 83.
