Games Like The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners (2026)

Shared: Faction Choices, Weapon Degradation, Melee Combat

A parkour-heavy open-world survival RPG set in a crumbling city overrun by infected - ambitious in scope, uneven in execution.

Shared: Base Building, Day-Night Cycle

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.

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: Survival Crafting, Resource Management, Day-Night Cycle

If post-apocalyptic Russia, a steam locomotive base, and real resource scarcity sound like your weekend, Metro Exodus Gold Edition hands you the whole package - base game plus both story DLC expansions included.

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.
