Absolute bargain price if you ask me. Played over 250 hours of Valheim. A great immersive game, and at this price, a bit too good to say no to if you haven't tried it. A survival must play.

Highly recommend.

Obviously it's a very hyped up game, and I was apprehensive posting this as they have sufficient marketing behind them already. It's meme'd as "Pokemon with Guns", but at its core is a very heavy survival play style.

Have you tried it? How many hours in are you?

If you have, what do you think? How does it stack up against other survival games for you?

My view is in the comments...

Edit: First 2 votes are downvotes and into minus immediately? I get you may not like the hype. Say it, but this is to also stimulate debate and build this community. We're off the lemm.ee first page and any downvote is just going to contribute to keeping this community buried when it needs a little oxygen. Do we really want another dead small community? It's also an opportunity to bring folk into survival games...

I have created the community and advertised it in new communities.

It would be good to get a logo for the sub if anyone has one. Maybe an axe or a campfire or something. If you have a link to a survival game sub, we can add that in to the community description to make it easier for survival fans to find the communities they care about. Hopefully this will start as a campfire community so we can get together, discuss and build a great corner here in Lemmy.

Feel free to kick off discussion, talk about a specific game, what you're playing now, or even ask questions about a specific game, and hopefully folks here may know the answers.

What features in survival games do you really love, and which do you really hate?

Is there a meta you really get annoyed by that every game seems to copy? What is something unique or cool in a game that really added something great?

I'll start. For me, the most annoying thing is the grindyness at times. First it's mine 2, then 10, then 30, then 50. It seems the only way survival games can make things harder at times is to increase resource cost.

Hey all. What's your favourite survival games?

For me, Project Zomboid, but I have a soft spot for Valheim and Minecraft.
