Fans of isometric and open-world survival games will love Project Zomboid. The game is a realistic post-apocalyptic zombie survival game where players have to survive by keeping moving. An early warning is that all actions are made kind of realistic, meaning players will have to play like it's a real apocalypse.
Left the door open? There is a chance zombies will visit you. Did you eat bad food? There is a chance of food poisoning. Cut yourself with a glass? Watch the wound get sepsis unless you can find medicine. There is a lot more depth to the game and is a great match for hardcore survival fans.
4. No Man’s Sky

Players who love to play space exploration games will love this game as it allows them to commandeer their ship across several procedurally generated planets. There are also expeditions and players can choose what to do.
3. The Forest Series

When the first game in the series, The Forest, launched, it immediately took over the horror survival genre. The game was dark, gruesome and most important of all, got unforgiving with time. The game leaves players in a plane crash with his son stolen by primitive people on the island. Players can gather items and make shelter like any other survival game, however, they also need to look out for the cannibals eyeing them from across the distance.
Those who first started to have fun later found out that the AI is a bit different in this game. The cannibals will first size up the players and with time ambush them. There are also experimented monsters in the game. Players can choose to play alone or invite friends to help find their son. The sequel features a different story but with new mechanics, monsters, a bigger map, seasons and better graphics.
2. Subnautica

If the regular survival genre is not your thing, then Subnautica is the best game to go for. The game provides similar elements but underwater which has its unique experience and further completes the story and their underwater base.
The players crash land on an alien planet that is mostly water and start in their pod making small dives to collect their ship equipment scattered around. These things help in making much stronger stuff and making deeper dives. The game is a completely single-player experience and at times can be beautiful as well as scary with how deep we dive.
1. Terraria

Terraria give players a choice to do and play how they want, which is what players love the most. Having no restrictions to your actions in a game is a huge plus in anyone’s book. As always, players can jump alone or get the 4-pack to invite three more friends to the mix and dig their way to some eldritch horror for a battle.
