I love survival games but both my partner and I hated Raft.
Valheim is one of the best survival games ever. Love it.

Valheim and Satisfactory are masterclass. GOAT simulator is good for 6 year olds. Raft was kind of dull be entertaining with multiplayer. V Rising I didn’t really care for, but haven’t played since it was first available on Steam

Survival games are my jam. Colony builders and Chivalry 2 otherwise.
What are your favorite survivals? If I went with a top 3 it would probably be Icarus, Valheim and 7D2D

I’m absolutely terrible at Chivalry 2 but I have to admit, I don’t mind. It’s just fun running around with so many other people.

I was really bad. So bad that I only played archery and even got archery class over level 30. My brother always tops the leaderboards and he came over one day and showed me how to play. Basically, make sure you’re in third person and we use either the battle axe or executioners axe. I’m now regularly at the top of the boards.
If you ever want to join up with us let me know. We do the 40 man mixed

Never played Icarus, will look into it!
Palworld was surprisingly fun. I think Valheim is actually my number one, followed by Enshrouded.

Palworld is a lot of fun. Much different than a lot of survivals since I was never into Pokémon. Enshrouded I played on release for a little bit. Gonna sound weird but I the building turned me off a bit and the combat i felt a little awkward. I know a lot of people love it so it’s like a me thing.
Icarus is really cool. I refunded it initially because I felt it was janky but they have released an update every single week since launch. Picked it up again at the start of summer and I have like 300+ hours in it. It’s so good.

V rising is different from when it first came out in terms of how some mechanics work like tracking bosses
Powers and spells are way different on how you unlock them tho and for the better

It’s been a while but I remember I was annoyed with something to do with having to find blood. I know that’s really stupid considering it’s a vampire game. Also the top down view i have a hard time with these days since I played so much Diablo 1+2 back in the day

Valheim was amazing. But it’s faltered so badly in the past 2 years that I’m just sad. Very sad.

I bought it the very day it came out for no real reason and fell in love with it. Put about 500 hours in it before any updates happened. Played a little since then but those higher tier biomes are pretty brutal. Gonna wait until it’s 1.0 before jumping in again. Best $20 ever

Same boat here my friend.
1000+ hours, lots of intricate builds. Post Ashlands has been miserable.
With all that, still the best $20 I’ve ever spent in 43 years of gaming.

Ah man you’re my age. Check out UFO 50. Second best ~$20 ($25) I’ve spent

Did it falter?
While I disagree with how long they’re been in early access especially when other games are in early access and doing it better… The updates were still pretty impressive. The new biomes were pretty interesting.

They’ve gotten progressively more poorly thought out though.
Mistlands is glorious, but so fogged in as to be essentially invisible. I resorted to a mod to increase the value of the wisp.
Ashlands is just a brutal, unfun grind. Not hard, just relentless especially with endless pop-in of enemies. Not to mention even more horrendous performance… 20fps on a very high end system is abysmal (rtx 4090, nvme drive, etc).
