If you are not hardcore and serious about learning and researching dont even bother with Oxygen not included, I watched xqc play it on Kick and he didnt bother to learn anything so ofcourse it was hopeless. But if you take it serious, its a FANTASTIC game. Also Rimworld is good and missing from this list.
Well you're a nobody though, so your grade means nothing they have almost 10 mill subscribers 😂 you're smaller than a grain of salt, I mean that literally you couldn't unsub right now and they wouldn't notice 😂😂😂😂 see how unimportant you are?
The Long Dark feels like it's actually part of my life. The beauty and immersion is indescribable. When I die, I lay it aside and come back to it months or years later, that's how much it bothers me. And I never play it in summer.
Yea cause they forgot to add Deadrising where time is your enemy and you need to survive while saving other survivors from zombies and other enemies. It's harder than your pizza debt
Kenshi should be on this list. It can be called brutal. Even the quest to do something basic can land you in a situation where you are killed, eaten, looted or enslaved. You would be glad if you only lost a limb but managed to survive.
I remember my first times playing DayZ and Project Zomboid. I jumped over a railing in DayZ, broke my leg, had no splinters or the knowledge to make one and crawled around until I finally got put out of my misery by a lone zombie stumbling around near the hangers by the water. Another time I had lost a lot of blood and found a medical house with blood bags. I IV'd myself, only to then find out that I didn't know which blood type I was. Of course it was not a compatible one that I had just IV'd myself with 😆 In Zomboid, I got out of my starting house, stealthed around a bit, found another house, opened a window, house alarm started, got swarmed, ran to another house, broke the window, jumped through, got cut by the glass and then got cornered by all the zombies. It was really silly but I laughed my ass off from how paniced I was and how those unfortunate events played out, it was like a comedy 😂
I'm surprised 7D2D wasn't on the list as it can be punishingly difficult at higher levels with everything dialed up. Hell just surviving your first Bloodmoon on higher difficulties is hard.
Thrilled to see Stationeers and Vintage Story on here! Highly recommend both of these! As far as Unreal World, get it on a deep sale if at all. It's a neat concept, but the actual gameplay is very thin. You'll be bored of it within a couple of hours.
I'm surprised Subnautica isn't on this list. I've played several of these and it's my favorite one. I would include ARK, Valheim and Conan: Exiles too.
Subnautica is a great game, one of my all-time favs. But it isn't really difficult. I'd argue it's one of the more accessible survival experiences out there.
@@gameranxTV after Vintage Story it's probably Project Zomboid and Oxygen Not Included. I've enjoyed the majority of these though 😂. Not as big on the FPS focused ones like Rust and SCUM they're not interesting imo
Subsistence is by far my favourite, I hate zombie games but love the challenge of grinding to get to a comfortable level. Great updates and new challenges added, worth the time to to get to know the game. Thanks for this list
Not many people might know this about " The Long Dark " game, but you lose everything in the chapter with the jail and the inmates. Every time you enter the jail, the guy at the door takes everything from you (the player), so the next time you do a job for them you have nothing, not even food or water with you. What " I " did in that chapter is that i found a small room with a stove, bed, etc and put all the necessary stuff from my bag to the cabinet that was there. This room is near the main gate of the jail, a few meters away from the main door. Leave everything you might need in there, otherwise you are going to make your life even harder.
I never tried the story mode. Is it linear? or like a Sanbox mode with npc? I only play the sandbox mode. and I want NPC around like in a rpg game. Just like Metro series.
@@Katniss0000 The story mode is linear with episodes. You still need to find ways to survive in the game of course, but linear. :) The only problem is (and i don't really know much about this) i think they still haven't released the 5th and last episode, meaning the ending. I don't know if the episode is still in development or they dropped the game alltogether. :(
@@XamposGR it was recently confirmed that episode 5 is in late stage of development and will be released some time after the Tales (so early-mid 2025). There was more on the website but i don't remember - i'm not particularly interested in the storymode, just the new map, sorry.
I remember reaching sustainability in The Long Dark. They added the story mode after I stopped playing so maybe they made it harder then? But I do remember having a loop of hunting and chilling in a house with huge stack of food and skipping days until I got bored since I had nothing else to aim for, but getting to that point was pretty hard.
It's technically possible (at least in Survival mode) since beachcombing exists. Food is easy (rabbits), but without beachcombing, eventually one would use all the cloth/metal in the game for repairs, and while it's also possible to survive naked, it's not easy or (in my experience) fun. But beachcombing slowly introduces new items into the world, and while only a small fraction are cloth/metal, enough are that it's possible to keep clothing and metal-based tools repaired forever. If one is good and careful that is :D
I think Falcon was unintentinally misleading here. If anything, being sustainable is now easier. Yes, you gonna run low on resources, but it takes a really long time. People survived for thousands of days BEFORE the new systems were introduced. And today you can technically survive forever, it just gets harder and you'll have to get by without some stuff. For say 500 -1000 in-game days? It's not a problem at all. You do run out of CONVENIENT resources faster. And so for newer players there is a pressure of "oh god, i looted all the buildings nearby. What do i do?!" But it only means that you have to learn to rely on hunting/fishing instead of looting.
Yes! Subsistence! It's been my favorite survival game for the many years I've been playing it. Super difficult beginning but a non-boring grind after getting established. The dev is a master at hiding/blending spawns which keeps each day feeling fresh. I agree that that beginning difficulty and grinding isn't for everyone but I find grinding relaxing and this is the only survival game that has not become boring after getting well established of all the ones I've played on your list. I agree that it's not for everyone and it is a love it or hate it type of game, but there is a cult following of super fans for a reason.
I expected SCUM to be on the list. I did NOT expect Vintage Story! For what started as a Minecraft mod, really took on a life and style of it's own and deserves a lot of love
yeah, sounds like he's never tasted fresh green coconut water and only old brown coconuts, because green coconut water is slightly sweet and very refreshing tasting.
Subsistence is a hidden gem.. glad to see it on the list! If you push through the beginning the game is very rewarding. oh and the developer is in tune with the game, fixes things fast and listens to the community for updates
The Long Dark also has an awesome modding discord. They add everything from collectables to more variety of food items to candle making, and they're all super nice to a luddite like me
Bohemia and DayZ get a special shout out from me for pure dedication. I spent like $20 years ago and the developers have stayed dedicated to regular updates, where they actually listen to the community for input, and allow modders to create entire maps for free (yeah I know, it takes time for the modders). Hands down the most open, friendly, and supportive gaming community I’ve ever come across. My best experiences in gaming have come from playing DayZ and the devs deserve a shoutout for helping make that a reality.
Icarus although still being early access, deserves a mention since the game is you versus mother nature. Finally build your first little cabin after hours of playing? Make sure when you leave to farm resources you would be able to make it back so your little cabin don't get blown away by a wind storm or struck by lightning and lit on fire
yes, Icarus is a very good survival game and the different playstyle (in missions) is actually pretty good. Good modern graphics. No free oxygon (space game) new animals. highly recommended
I definitely took a good few tries to get up to semi-sustainability. It seems like you gotta be very fast and efficient on day 1 - axe, spear and bow (for the inevitable jaguar encounter without serious injury), basic tent, and the beginnings of self-grown crops are all something I try to fit into the first 18 game hours. If I can do that, it's medical supplies next, and once that's up, we're in business.
this War of Mine and Dont Starve are among the most frustratingly difficult games of their kind. TWOM will make you really question your sanity when you have to decide whether to rob all the food from the old couple down the street because they are the only location where you wont get shot
It is nice that you have included "Project Zomboid" in here. That is an awesome game and I would recommend it to everyone who likes this genre to try it (especially the sandbox mode). Do not let the "low graphics" to discourage you from trying this game. Also, "This war of mine" is a very nice game.
I've been watching the channel for years and I feel like Falcon has only really come to life over the last couple weeks, doing voices and just being totally weird on a regular basis. It's awesome!
Green Hell is the best survival game currently out there, you can control all settings easily and the menu and system is surprisingly friendly. The recent update ruined coop, however it has multiple stories, a main campaign, survival mode ands even tree houses! It’s my favorite survival game!
It's easy to complain when things irritate you, but you also have to say it when something is done well, so THANK YOU for the names of the games in the time stamps instead of the numbers :)
Agreed; it's the only survival game I've tried that can get close to Subnautica and Long Dark in terms of mechanics and enjoyment (but yes, brutal at first).
I love Stranded Deep, perfect balance of stress and relief when you do manage to survive! It hurt emotionally the first time I ate too much coconut trying to stop my thirst and got diarrhea 😭
I'm a long time Vintage Story player and I like that you're bringing attention to the game. That being said, why is so much of your footage of the game out of date? The first scene was modern, but there are multiple scenes in your video that are far more dated than what the game looks like now. I started playing two years ago and back then it looked better than what you're showing at the end. Also I disagree that it's harder than SCUM or Rust. It's actually not that difficult once you get past the learning curve.
Don't starve is easily the most difficult survival game you can play and the learning curve everytime you die and then apply those skills is very satisfying.
I love vintage story. The way it is you have a sense of accomplishment from anything you do. Waiting for the big 1.20 update to launch hopefully by the end of the year so we get bigger boats and animal mounts and some more story elements.
Subnautica, Abiotic, Conan Exiles, Grounded, Breathedge, Dwarf Fortress, Echo of the Wilds, Enshrouded, Nightengale, Forever Skies, Genesis Alpha One, Graveyard Keeper, How to Survive series, Stalker Series, Moria, Ostranauts, Pacific Drive, Raft, Rimworld, Salt, Starbound, Terraria, State of Decay Series, The Survivalists, Take on Mars, This Land is My Land, Valheim???
Rust is the game me and my son are currently enthralled with. I love the building, gathering and of course dealing with the pvp of high population servers!
It's also a laxative that will dehydrate you from, y'know, crapping out your eyes. There's a limit to the amount you can drink from a shell. Obviously in normal life that's not going to be a problem. If it's all you drink then hold on tight.
he's probably a typical American who's only experience with coconuts are the old brown exports, he's obviously never tasted fresh green coconuts otherwise he'd know fresh coconut water is slightly sweet and very refreshing. like how most Americans' first and only experience of Chinese Food is panda express 🤣🤣🤣
You dont need medical skill to use a first aid kit in cataclysm, they are containers which contain the items you use, the proficiencies and skills just effects how good you are at using them resulting in faster healing. Incredible game when you figure it out.
There is more lines of code written for the metabolism system of SCUM, than all these games combined. Truly, its an amazing game. DayZ has nothing on SCUM. I think you glanced over SCUM in this video a bit too fast. Its faaaarrrrr more detailed than you imagine.
My Summer Car is an insane game. It's full of drunk driving, road rage, pumping septic tanks for money, and all kinds of bizarre crap. The series of youtube videos about it by robbaz are hilarious.
I love stranded deep. Such a fun game. And i remember the long dark when it first kinda came out. It was hard af and there were no guides available that i knew of. Went back to it a couple years ago and it seemed a lot easier to get started. If you get the basics down in DayZ it gets really easy and it comes down to just being a better shot than the other players
@@drgonzo123 You'll have a blast! There's a million tips out there, but I'll just say, the radio is good, but when you get tired of it, throw on a 70s southern rock playlist from Spotify or Alexa or where ever. And restarting is very common. It takes a couple tries, but they just updated 48 hours ago to lower the difficulty a touch. Good luck!
Rust is my personal all time favourite. There are many different servers. Vanilla, modded and many differtent pve servers if you dont like pvp. (Pve servers have soooo many events and things to do. i play both.) Note: Game looks alot better now. (They used older footage here) And constantly is getting updates.
Vintage Story not only *mentioned*, but in the #1 spot? Hell yeah. That game needs more recognition (I guess that's what you get when devs refuse to put it on Steam *or* Epic)... I love it to bits.
What I find funny, or not. I've only heard of this guy. I vaguely know he's involved in music in some way. I don't even know what he did. I don't care to know. Just another b list celebrity doing b list celebrity junk. Has zero importance to my life.
I was thinking while alternating between Still Wakes The Deep and The Long Dark that a survival game that takes place on a boat on the open sea would rule. Some kind of scenario where you're the only remaining crew member of a disabled commercial ship (or a cruise liner? that'd be SICK) and while you don't have to worry about the usual boat-crew things like actual sailing and navigating, you have to single-handedly keep the thing up and running and live sustainably while you wait for rescue or just subsist, maybe even have the anchor chains break eventually and you're just drifting slowly on open ocean. Could have in depth fishing and scurvy mechanics, and stuff is always decaying and falling apart on a saltwater setting, so you'd have to weigh what parts of the ship you wanna keep maintained, shoveling coal into boilers or keeping some electricity going for an emergency radio or some industrial fishing equipment, but eventually you'll lose some or all of them. I just love how getting caught in a blizzard or stumbling into a bear cave in The Long Dark are a bigger threat than zombies or cannibals in another game, and there's few things on earth more dangerous than being alone on open ocean at night. Not sure if an "age of exploration" setting or even something recent like The Terror, or a modern oil rig would be more interesting, but either way, they're both easily terrifying without any assistance.
I purchased SCUM and one day when my children grow older and I no longer work, I will give it a shot. I feel like a survival game requires hours I don't have.
Dude, I'm in a wheelchair. Any game that involves walking is harder than my life
You’re living life in hardcore itself keep ur head up brodie

Why don't you try walking on your hands? Then you can use your feet for high-fives and eating sandwiches. You know, the important stuff.

We also have B42 coming within the next twenty years! Woo!

Hardest thing in PZ is to live long enough so that it leaves early access.

Realistic stamina. Feel like a genuine couch potato released into the wild.
Nice! Did we miss any games that should have been featured in this list?
I've been watching the channel for years and I feel like Falcon has only really come to life over the last couple weeks, doing voices and just being totally weird on a regular basis. It's awesome!
haha thanks for watching! :)
No S.T.A.L.K.E.R series ?
Stranded deep. Surprised to have seen this on the list. This game was enjoyable way more than i expected
Project Zomboid is the best game on this list, My summer car is also really good
Green Hell is the best survival game currently out there, you can control all settings easily and the menu and system is surprisingly friendly. The recent update ruined coop, however it has multiple stories, a main campaign, survival mode ands even tree houses! It’s my favorite survival game!
What happened to 7 days to die . I was sure that would make the list 😮
It's easy to complain when things irritate you, but you also have to say it when something is done well, so THANK YOU for the names of the games in the time stamps instead of the numbers :)
Just started the video, idk whats on the list yet. But i gotta say..
Green Hell is brutal
Fun game tho once you get into the swing of it
Agreed; it's the only survival game I've tried that can get close to Subnautica and Long Dark in terms of mechanics and enjoyment (but yes, brutal at first).
it is even relaxing when you are self sufficient. but becomes a horror game when the tribe shows up. lol
Raft is a casual survival game that has a fun story to follow. Totally recommend it especially with a friend or two
I take better care of my DayZ character than myself sometimes
Played dayz for 10 hours got chased by 45 zombies , ate a apple , got poisoning , and then my shoes fell off amd I died from blood loss . Great stuff
Quality game lol
Ark, Subnautica, 7 Days? All not on the list?? WTF
I love Stranded Deep, perfect balance of stress and relief when you do manage to survive! It hurt emotionally the first time I ate too much coconut trying to stop my thirst and got diarrhea 😭
I'm a long time Vintage Story player and I like that you're bringing attention to the game. That being said, why is so much of your footage of the game out of date? The first scene was modern, but there are multiple scenes in your video that are far more dated than what the game looks like now. I started playing two years ago and back then it looked better than what you're showing at the end.
Also I disagree that it's harder than SCUM or Rust. It's actually not that difficult once you get past the learning curve.
I'm looking forward to playing Middle Ages: Peasants & Knights next year. This will be the most anticipated real medieval survival game.
Oregon trail. Someone needs to make a red dead mod tale tale style of Oregon trail.
Red dead 2 engine but Oregon trail story! Would be sick!
Don't starve is easily the most difficult survival game you can play and the learning curve everytime you die and then apply those skills is very satisfying.
Ok, I'll say it. No Valheim?
I love vintage story. The way it is you have a sense of accomplishment from anything you do. Waiting for the big 1.20 update to launch hopefully by the end of the year so we get bigger boats and animal mounts and some more story elements.
Subnautica, Abiotic, Conan Exiles, Grounded, Breathedge, Dwarf Fortress, Echo of the Wilds, Enshrouded, Nightengale, Forever Skies, Genesis Alpha One, Graveyard Keeper, How to Survive series, Stalker Series, Moria, Ostranauts, Pacific Drive, Raft, Rimworld, Salt, Starbound, Terraria, State of Decay Series, The Survivalists, Take on Mars, This Land is My Land, Valheim???
Hello there and friendly greetings!
So good finally you have mentioned SUBSISTENCE and SCUM! It was about time!
😉
Pressing play and waiting to hear if it’s falcon or Jake is how I play Russian roulette
Rust is the game me and my son are currently enthralled with. I love the building, gathering and of course dealing with the pvp of high population servers!
1:47 Hey, coconut milk, fresh from the shell, is delicious.
He’s American if it not high fructose or from a another animal they don’t want it 😂
It's also a laxative that will dehydrate you from, y'know, crapping out your eyes. There's a limit to the amount you can drink from a shell. Obviously in normal life that's not going to be a problem. If it's all you drink then hold on tight.
he's probably a typical American who's only experience with coconuts are the old brown exports, he's obviously never tasted fresh green coconuts otherwise he'd know fresh coconut water is slightly sweet and very refreshing. like how most Americans' first and only experience of Chinese Food is panda express 🤣🤣🤣
Love getting off work and checking gameranx. It’s become a part of my everyday life
Hey we appreciate you!
Why is Scum so overlooked?
You dont need medical skill to use a first aid kit in cataclysm, they are containers which contain the items you use, the proficiencies and skills just effects how good you are at using them resulting in faster healing. Incredible game when you figure it out.
There is more lines of code written for the metabolism system of SCUM, than all these games combined. Truly, its an amazing game. DayZ has nothing on SCUM. I think you glanced over SCUM in this video a bit too fast. Its faaaarrrrr more detailed than you imagine.
Sounds really boring
@@theohadz7118 realism is not for everyone.
My Summer Car is an insane game. It's full of drunk driving, road rage, pumping septic tanks for money, and all kinds of bizarre crap. The series of youtube videos about it by robbaz are hilarious.
With 4k hrs in rust I can confirm this belongs in top 3 lol
I love stranded deep. Such a fun game.
And i remember the long dark when it first kinda came out. It was hard af and there were no guides available that i knew of.
Went back to it a couple years ago and it seemed a lot easier to get started.
If you get the basics down in DayZ it gets really easy and it comes down to just being a better shot than the other players
Rust doesn't even sound fun.
It's not
@@SneakyStabz13 it is if you play on those x3, x5, x10 servers. but vanilla no.
Day z still stands as just one of the greatest games in general let alone in the genre
Gonna toss Star Trucker into the ring.
The _Dark Souls_ of trucker sims.
I just started playing that yesterday and I am hooked! Love the vibe
@@drgonzo123 You'll have a blast! There's a million tips out there, but I'll just say, the radio is good, but when you get tired of it, throw on a 70s southern rock playlist from Spotify or Alexa or where ever.
And restarting is very common. It takes a couple tries, but they just updated 48 hours ago to lower the difficulty a touch.
Good luck!
Great video! Would love to see a video like "Top 10/20 hardest game mechanics to master"
Keep up the good work!
Rust is my personal all time favourite. There are many different servers. Vanilla, modded and many differtent pve servers if you dont like pvp. (Pve servers have soooo many events and things to do. i play both.)
Note: Game looks alot better now. (They used older footage here) And constantly is getting updates.
Ps4 launch footage lol why?
Project zomeboid is the greatest survival game I've ever played. It made it harder to get into other survival games because of how well it was done.
I didn't really care for it, i couldn't really get immersed but I'm still trying to give it a fair shot
Vintage Story not only *mentioned*, but in the #1 spot?
Hell yeah. That game needs more recognition (I guess that's what you get when devs refuse to put it on Steam *or* Epic)... I love it to bits.
Respect for including CDDA.
You forgot the hardest survival game there is. P Diddy Survival.
Jesus dude
What about Epstein Island? Lol
What I find funny, or not. I've only heard of this guy. I vaguely know he's involved in music in some way. I don't even know what he did. I don't care to know. Just another b list celebrity doing b list celebrity junk. Has zero importance to my life.
@@mikeberry5016lol liking your comment seemed too sus but lol tht shit funny
Nah you always survive Diddy... You just might not want to 😂
I was thinking while alternating between Still Wakes The Deep and The Long Dark that a survival game that takes place on a boat on the open sea would rule. Some kind of scenario where you're the only remaining crew member of a disabled commercial ship (or a cruise liner? that'd be SICK) and while you don't have to worry about the usual boat-crew things like actual sailing and navigating, you have to single-handedly keep the thing up and running and live sustainably while you wait for rescue or just subsist, maybe even have the anchor chains break eventually and you're just drifting slowly on open ocean.
Could have in depth fishing and scurvy mechanics, and stuff is always decaying and falling apart on a saltwater setting, so you'd have to weigh what parts of the ship you wanna keep maintained, shoveling coal into boilers or keeping some electricity going for an emergency radio or some industrial fishing equipment, but eventually you'll lose some or all of them. I just love how getting caught in a blizzard or stumbling into a bear cave in The Long Dark are a bigger threat than zombies or cannibals in another game, and there's few things on earth more dangerous than being alone on open ocean at night. Not sure if an "age of exploration" setting or even something recent like The Terror, or a modern oil rig would be more interesting, but either way, they're both easily terrifying without any assistance.
7 days to die!!!! ❤
I respect anyone who plays these, I never have the patience but I find survival games fascinating
I purchased SCUM and one day when my children grow older and I no longer work, I will give it a shot. I feel like a survival game requires hours I don't have.
No ark?? Thats rust with dinos
ark sucks
If I would answer as dumb as you do, you know what your mother is going to do
I feel like it makes so much sense that Falcon drinks nothing but iced tea.
Cool, smart, calm, but caffeinated, and a little edgy.
