You can even take control of giant avatars created by the gods to crush your enemies. The building options are vast, allowing you to create simple houses or even whole cities.

Lovers of sci-fi are in for a real treat. You manage your health, hunger, thirst, and oxygen levels by collecting and harvesting items you find, as well as from nearby wreckage. The survival mode is quite addictive, but also very tough. You play as the crew member of a spaceship that has crashed on a strange and unexplored planet, with one big problem – there’s no land in sight, just ocean. Unknown Worlds Entertainment created something entirely original when they released this ocean- based, survival, action-adventure back in 2014. # 8 Subnautica Credit: Unknown Worlds Entertainment Raft can be played alone or with friends, with the number of friends that can join your server only limited by what your PC can handle. Top survival features include the ability to grow crops, sail your raft to different locations and research new things to build. The ocean also holds dangers, including man-eating sharks hell-bent on devouring you. Since you’re in the drink, building materials are scare, so you will need to collect debris and raid reefs. You start off floating on wreckage with nothing but a plastic hook as a tool and must find food and water and expand your raft into a worthy home. Also look out for Don’t Starve’s standalone multiplayer expansion that lets you team up with friends to ward off hunger pains together. You must rely on your wits to make it through.ĭon’t starve combines both dark and whimsical visuals in a hand-drawn 2D art style that has helped it build up a strong following and overwhelmingly positive rating on Steam. However, there is no instructions, no help and no hand holding. The object of Don’t Starve is to craft, hunt, farm and research things that are useful so that you can eat and survive in an otherwise uncompromising world full of strange creatures and surprises. # 10 Don’t Starve Credit: Klei Entertainment Apart from always looking for recommendations, your suggestions may make our future lists.
