Interested in hardcore survival games? These six will test your mettle. Interested in hardcore survival games? These six will test your mettle. Survival has become a central theme in video gaming over the past few years. Staying alive has been part of gaming's DNA forever, but recently we've seen survivalist elements everywhere from Tomb Raider and The Last of Us to Far Cry 3: huddling around a fire, fighting the elements, hunting, scavenging for resources and making tools out of whatever you've got. Survival games have always held a fascination for me, ever since I read Robinson Crusoe when I was little. The idea of bring alone, living off the land and exploring, of what you might find out there, is the perfect premise for a game. The first survival game I ever played was Survival Kids, a little 2D Game Boy Color title about a castaway kid. (It was actually pretty dark - the kid's only 10 and his family drowns in a shipwreck right at the start. Hardcore.) Nowadays there's a bigger selection, most of them released in the last few years. If you've had your appetite for the wilderness whetted by, say Tomb Raider's survival trappings, here are six of the best pure survival games out there. I am reliably informed that there are still some people in the world who have not played Minecraft. This might, perhaps, be because they don't know it's a survival game. I didn't know until 2010, when I started playing it and realised that it wasn't digital Lego, it's a castaway game where you're alone on a vast unexplored island and must make it your own. At least, that's the way I play it. Minecraft can be almost anything you like, but for me it's about hiding in the night, conquering the elements and venturing into the wilderness. It's also what started the current trend of incorporating survival elements into almost anything. In Miasmata you are alone on an island bursting with medicinal plants, afflicted with a deadly plague that can only be cured be researching them - so it's a survival game on two levels. It's punishing (which is a bit of a theme in this list) - injury and fever make it difficult to even haul yourself around the island, and the wildlife isn't friendly. It relies on your intelligence and willpower. One of Miasmata's strengths is its atmosphere - the jungle is lush, but the night is scary, and you're always aware that a slip or a mis-step could set you back a long way, or even rolling down the side of a mountain. No other game in the world will ever make you so happy about finding a flower. Don't Starve. I love games that tell you exactly what they are in the title. The irony, though, is that you will starve eventually in this stylised gothic nightmare - but before you do, you might spend days stripping the wilderness of resources and many nights huddled around a fire pit to hide from the monsters, crafting fantastic machinery and slowly unlocking new strange tools to aid your survival. It's strangely paced, Don't Starve, and involves a lot of monotony, but it also captures a primal terror of the dark that's an essential component to authentic survival games. Lost in Blue 2. The Lost in Blue series is what those old Game Boy Color Survival Kids games eventually became - there were 3 games on DS, and one on Wii. None of them were loved by critics, but I loved them anyway. I love them for their difficulty, their awkwardness, their heart. Lost in Blue 2 was one of the first games to make me cry, no joke. In Lost in Blue 2, you play one of two teenaged shipwreck survivors, a girl or a boy, and do your best to keep both of you alive. You explore the island by yourself and together, initially scrabbling in the sand for edible shellfish to keep body and soul together, later cooking up feasts of island fruit and produce. The aim is to find your way home. The main problem with Lost in Blue is that it's both very difficult and reluctant to give you any help, which makes it both a realistic depiction of what it might be like to have to survive on a desert island and an extremely frustrating video game. I have yet to meet anybody who successfully killed a deer with a spear in Lost in Blue. But if you get into it it's so rewarding, and the various endings have real emotional power. In one, I managed to get both of us off the island in a boat, but didn't have a flare to send up when a ship went past. Both characters died holding each other. I was devastated . Rust is like a slightly shonky combination of DayZ and Minecraft, with crafting and combat. It's nowhere near finished yet, and thus it's a bit difficult to recommend, but the beta version of Rust has fascinated a few of us here at IGN so far. It's a multiplayer survival sim where the main danger isn't so much the environment as the other people you're sharing it with. Players band together to form gangs, hunting for resources and stragglers to either recruit or despatch, building towers and villages out of what they find. Die, and you respawn naked with nothing but a rock in your hands. You haven't felt real fear until you're naked in the middle of a forest, huddled by a campfire and hoping you aren't spotted by bears, zombies or other people. Fallout: New Vegas. The original Fallout didn't really give you a choice when it came to survival. It made you die all the time - from radiation, from giant mutated Radscorpions, from breaking a leg, from running out of ammo. Setting foot in the wasteland was a massive risk. There are no campfires or hunting, but Fallout still feels like a survival game to me. Fallout New Vegas, however, took it to the next level with the horribly-named Hardcore Mode, which plays more like a simulation: you have to find clean water, heal injuries over time, stay away from radiation, sleep properly and make sure to eat regularly. Played normally, though, you never go hungry or thirsty, and can wander the wasteland for days without sleep. I lasted about four hours on Fallout NV's hardcore mode. It is not kind. Indeed, on that difficulty setting, this might be the hardest survival game that exists. Keza MacDonald is IGN’s Contributing Editor and has very distinctive hair.

They say that survival of the fittest, whether it be on an island, in an apocalypse, or beneath the sea, is the way humanity survives. Whether this is true or not, I can’t say, but the fifty tons of loot that I’ve gathered from the trail of death behind me is weighing my shoulders down and making it a bit harder to run. I set these guns, clothes and countless piles of ammo down on my side table and wonder about what the best survival games are for my trusty Xbox One. I whittle away at this thought as I run from the zombies and swarms of humans, realising that as the light dies out I have the answer in front of me: a top five list! I could write all of the games down, but a top five list gives the best games a spotlight under my fluorescent light, and helps me narrow this down tremendously. Anyhow, here are the top five Survival Games on Xbox One, with bonus mentions! Honorable Mentions. Minecraft: Xbox One Edition. We all know about Minecraft, and if you don’t you’ve been away for a long time! The game is all about, well, mining and crafting, whether it be mining out the new Moria or crafting a 3:1 scale of the Sydney Opera House, you can do it all in this Voxel based game of survival. With Multiplayer support and a plethora of textures and items, Minecraft can be filled with an infinity of outcomes for you to survive. With the added bonus of Survival, it is really quite good. Just remember…we built this city on Block and Bowl! Elite: Dangerous. Whether it be smuggling, combat or simple trading that you enjoy, Elite: Dangerous has you covered. This game isn’t about survival in the means of water and food, but you’ll need precious fuel and make sure you don’t warp drive straight into a sun! Elite: Dangerous is fantastic for putting a podcast on and listening to harrowing tales as you pirate the massive galaxy that makes up the game. Just remember to invest in fuel, or you may end up stranded in space. You definitely don’t want that. GTA: Online. It may not be a survival game in the traditional sense, but when it comes to public lobbies, survival is the name of the game. Whether you like to fly, race, shoot up stores, or help people shoot up their veins, GTA has you covered with its multiplayer system. Run missions and flee in terror as the highest levelled member in the lobby nears your location, circling overhead with a VTOL armed with homing missiles. Just close your eyes and hope he crashes into the beautiful skyline of Los An- er – Santos. 5. Subnautica. It all began with some flashy lights and a big ker-splash! Get ready to go off the deep end! In Subnautica you find yourself crash landing into the ocean of an alien planet, before deciding it would be a good idea to document everything whilst trying to survive. Face monstrous fish that dwarf you and lead you to believe that you may very well be the lowest on the food chain. Build bases and answer the age long question of whether you shall sink or swim! With lovely graphics and an atmosphere out of this world, Subnautica wraps its tendrils around you and won’t let go until you can rip yourself free. But who would ever want that? 4. Dying Light. Whether you like zombies or not, you must admit they can be pretty terrifying. In the latest Techland game you play as Kyle Crane, a man sent into a quarantine zone for story reasons, but quickly find out that survival is where it is at! Race through the slums or the city, using parkour as your main form of transport. Gather weapons and care packages and even some pieces of paper, presumably written by MacGyver, that tell you how to make weapons of mass decapitation! The scariest part of this game isn’t dealing with the zombies during the day, but trying to avoid the creatures during the night – ones whom are more vicious and have special abilities that make for one hellish night on the town. Dying Light may not feature a food or water meter, but the sheer number of zombies roaming around makes it difficult to survive without exhausting all of your options. With a mode that allows people to invade your game as the night creatures, a setting which can be toggled, makes for the ultimate game of cat and mouse. Unfortunately, it looks like you’re the mouse. Grab your night lights and glow sticks ’cause it’s zombie time! 3. ARK: Survival Evolved. With the title containing the word ‘survival’, I would hope this game is a survival game. After a flip through the community and a quick romp through the forest with which I ended up eaten by a dinosaur, I realized I hadn’t given this game much credit. You start the game looking for stone and plant fibers, slowly progressing to the point of taming and domesticating dinosaurs, all while dealing with food and water shortages, heat issues and limbs breaking. ARK: Survival Evolved has all the staples of a survival game, but they seem a little strange; the rate food goes down is exponentially faster than it really should be, and what you do eat seems really weak. I ate a whole bush worth of berries and got a few percentage points for my troubles, and a dodo steak didn’t hit the spot either. I didn’t worry about water, but I couldn’t stand more than ten feet away from my fire pit before my clothe-less person complained about burning up. That being said, it is still a fantastic survival game, if a bit illogical. Now saddle up and ride ’em, velociboy! 2. Dead Island Riptide. Some may argue that Dead Island isn’t a survival game, but I have to disagree. You have to worry about health and your weapon durability, and there are hordes of relentless zombies that want to tear you apart. There are also annoying glitches that you have to survive, but they can be used against the zombies in a Dark Souls-ian twist. You have to help survivors escape the zombie infested island after your boat shores up, but you are equipped with only a paddle, something you must then thwart the infesting hordes with. You can swap the paddle out for a plethora of different weapons, ranging anywhere from a stick to a rocket launcher. That being said, it has a survival feel to it as you try to upset the least amount of zombies for fear of being overrun, whilst having to scour and scavenge every piece of loot to make better weapons graced by MacGyver Magic. It is a must play, and the Definitive Edition is just a measly twenty bucks on the Xbox Games Store. 1. Fallout 4. War has changed in the latest Fallout instalment, showing us the social experiment side of Vault-Tec – you’re made into a man-sicle within the first five minutes, depending solely on how much you play with the new face maker. When you awaken, you find the world has jumped into the handbasket and is on its merry way to hell. But all is not lost. Your old home is still around and you seem to be able to build anything with just enough reagents from junk that litters every shelf and floor of the wasteland. Before you exit the elevator, a pop-up shows, asking if you would like to enable survival mode. You quickly accept it, hoping that this is the thing you’ve been waiting for, when out of nowhere, your character is starving and dehydrated and tired. You rush to eat something and drink some water, lying down in your old bed to finally take care of yourself. You awake to find you have a plethora of diseases! Sleep has become a gateway to death, but it is the only way to save! You slowly get better as you collect scrap, killing everything that stands in the way of you. Your mission: get vaccinated. Now just remember, fumigate every other week, and if you can’t taste the delicious mutfruit, stop fumigating. So there we have it, these are clearly the best survival games the Xbox One has to offer us right now. If you’re a springy survivalist, or a pale masochist, you should play all of these games until you can finally say you have survived…the summer drought of games that is!

Having been Xbox gamers since 2002 when the original big black box hit the UK, taking in all the 360 years and now being overly excited for the One, we could never find a place that would only cover the interesting, exciting stuff from the world of Xbox. Hence, TheXboxHub was born. Covering only the best in the latest news and reviews for both Xbox 360 and Xbox One, we aim to be a one stop hub for all your Xbox needs, without all the useless guff that you really don’t want to know about. This site is part of the official Xbox Community Network, meaning the games we get to review come from the very highest source… Xbox themselves! Exploring Survival Games on Xbox One. The desire for self-preservation is ingrained deeply within our human nature. Even in the most dire of situations, there’s a primal instinct that kicks in when mortal danger arises. Thankfully, most of us don’t face true peril on a regular basis… but there’s no denying the adrenaline-fueled thrill that comes from pushing to overcome steep odds. In the gaming world, it’s this struggle – the risk and reward – that’s such a big part of what makes survival games so satisfying. More recently, the Xbox One has seen an explosion of interesting and unusual takes on the survival genre, with offerings ranging from the cutesy to the utterly cataclysmic. Join us as we dig into some of the most popular survival experiences on Xbox One and examine what makes them unique. Some of the titles on our list are RPGs, some are roguelikes filled with permadeath, and some might even surprise you. No survival game round-up would be complete without Fallout 4 . This open-world trek into a nuke-decimated Boston is brimming with deadly mutant factions, sentient killer robots, and more salvageable junk than you can possibly carry. Roaming the irradiated terrain and causing mayhem in frenetic slow-mo gunfights is a blast, but the option to settle down and build home bases to house your growing cadre of post-apocalyptic pals is an interesting new wrinkle that adds plenty to the already deep experience. Welcome to your new hobby; see you in a few years! Now a well-established household name among gaming enthusiasts, Minecraft – with its colorful, minimalistic, and limitless sandbox worlds – wields the power to absorb your free time. It’s a more kid-friendly, lighthearted survival game to be sure, but the core elements are first-rate in the genre. Exploring randomly generated biomes and gathering resources to craft tools and items to help you carve out your foothold in the monster-filled realm feels fresh with each playthrough, and that’s not even considering the fun that comes from simply building sprawling virtual strongholds to your heart’s content. Minecraft will give you back what you put into it, only tenfold. Venturing into prehistoric territory for its latest installment, the Far Cry series trades guns for bows and spears in this survivalist jaunt to 10,000 BC. Cannibals, wild beasts, and warring tribes round out the massive change of scenery for the series. Taming critters – like owls, badgers, and tigers – is a nice touch, too, while the need to frequently hunt for food and resources to expand your tribe will keep you busy between stretches of exploration and combat. “Primitive,” as it turns out, can be a good thing. Rather than having you hunker down in one spot to survive the apocalypse, The Flame in the Flood sends you on a winding, forward-moving trek down a river full of promise, danger, and intrigue. This indie roguelike survival adventure proves that your environment can be a formidable friend or foe indeed. With your dog companion Aesop in tow, prepare to craft and scavenge between precarious runs on your rickety raft. Will you succumb to the elements or live to fight and forage another day? In The Long Dark , this question comes with a mix of clever and curious nuances, like whether or not you’re burning calories faster than you can put them into your gut. Blowing winds, howling wolves, freeing temperatures, and other perils of the remote northern wilderness compound in this thrilling bid to stay alive… but the numerous nitty-gritty details of this grim adventure are what take things to the next level. A grim, peculiar storybook realm awaits your exploration in Don’t Starve , a survival adventure that sports arcane magic, eerie monsters, and mystery-filled wilderness in ample volume. From the Edward Gorey-inspired art style to the horrific ways the harsh world can kill you, there’s lots of spooky charm woven into this unusual game. Of course, surviving doesn’t come easy… but uncovering new oddities and crafting useful tools to extend your tenuous hold makes each run an entertaining one. With New York City ravaged by a pandemic bio-terrorist attack, you’re a part of the special agent team called-in to restore order in The Division . Exploring this authentic virtual cityscape puts a semi-futuristic urban spin on post-apocalyptic survival. Blending MMO and shooter elements with rescue missions and rebuilding efforts, your quest to wrestle the city back under control from vagrant factions is a fun challenge that feels authentic in surprising ways. Tackling tasks for a zombie-obsessed cult is only one of the many fascinating pursuits found in this all-terrain upgrade to Dying Light . The dead walk the earth in staggering numbers here, but your new wheels give you a fun way to take them down in satisfying splatterpunk fashion. Scavenging junk and gas to keep your buggy intact adds an intense new depth to the parkour- and pew-pew-tinged gameplay, too. Just be sure to watch your back when the sun goes down. If building settlements, riding deadly dinosaurs, and cobbling together greatness from the rocks and sticks at your feet sound like it’s up your ally, ARK: Survival Evolved is a deliciously oddball game worth checking out. Despite its work-in-progress state, this Xbox Game Preview title is shaping up to be a real mammoth of a good time, thanks to an enthusiastic player base and lots of crazy things that can unfold across each survival encounter. This is definitely one to keep tabs on. 6 of the Best Survival Games. Survival has become a central theme in video gaming over the past few years. Staying alive has been part of gaming's DNA forever, but recently we've seen survivalist elements everywhere from Tomb Raider and The Last of Us to Far Cry 3: huddling around a fire, fighting the elements, hunting, scavenging for resources and making tools out of whatever you've got.

The Top 10 Survival Horror Games. Survival horror has an unsettling appeal, perhaps because of its flexibility to do so much with so little. Restraint enables designers to create incredible scares, an uncomfortable atmosphere, and an unbearable sense of dread and fear within many different kinds of games. Whether players have limited ammunition (or no weapons at all) to protect themselves from uncertain terrors, explore frightening locales, or discover the darkness hidden in plain sight, these are the 10 best examples of survival horror. Though a divisive entry in the Silent Hill series, The Room is a fascinating game that explores some truly interesting and unique horror concepts. By being set primarily inside of the main character’s apartment, The Room takes what most of us consider to be a safe sanctuary, and turns it into a living nightmare. Pulling inspiration from Jacob’s Ladder, Twin Peaks, and the novel House of Leaves, The Room remains a strange departure for the Silent Hill series, but one that created a handful of unforgettable horror moments. -- Marty Sliva. Condemned blends classical survival-horror themes of vulnerability and tension with an action-oriented combat system. Enemies act with animal cunning, retreat from disadvantageous situations, hide, and wait in ambush. Weapons are deadly enough that a single foe can be a real threat, making almost every encounter legitimately challenging. The CSI sections add a touch of credulity to the bizarre, uneven story. When it works, Condemned is engaging and scary, and when it doesn't, the failings are ludicrous enough you can write them off to video game logic and keep playing, confident that something terrifying waits just around the corner. -- Jared Petty. Like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, it forced players to feel confined and almost incapable of dealing with the frantic horrors before them. Dead Space felt lonely, and that, more than its monsters, made it scary. The helplessness and stress of isolation in an unwelcoming place, with limited ammunition and no army behind you, put a stamp on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 generation that, indeed, survival horror had a lot of life left in it after all. -- Mitch Dyer. The original Resident Evil was one of the games that helped usher in the survival horror genre, and really helped inform what the core pillars of an interactive horror experience should be. The 2002 GameCube remake of Shinji Mikami’s classic remains the definitive edition thanks to a gorgeous and terrifying visual upgrade, a trimming of a lot of the original’s cheese-ball moments, and the surprise inclusion of Crimson Heads (think zombie-versions of zombies). A remastered version is coming to most platforms in 2015, meaning that most of us will be able to once-again experience one of the definitive moments in survival horror. -- Marty Sliva. Resident Evil 2 is archetypal survival horror, with a gothic setting, delightfully nonsensical puzzles, good sound design, and terrible tank controls. Staggeringly ambitious for its time, the story followed Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield's two overlapping journeys through the Raccoon City Police Department and into the labyrinthine hell-scape below. The unapologetically corny story ripped off the best elements of drive-in science fiction and horror. Despite the dated 3D models and terrible voice acting, Resident Evil 2 still provides ample heart-palpitating tension and numerous jump-scares. - - Jared Petty. True to its namesake, Amnesia had us wishing we could forget the horrifying things we saw. The sense of dread is ever-present as you delve into the depths of Brennenburg Castle. There are no weapons to be found, no saving grace besides the dim lantern that can be used sparingly to keep the darkness at bay. Amnesia’s story of a memory best left forgotten is punctuated by the terrors that roam the game, where just a glimpse of those that hunt you can drive your character insane, changing the very fabric of the reality. Amnesia perfectly encapsulates the helpless feeling of being alone, defenseless, hunted, and yet goads you deeper with the promise of revealing its terrible secrets. Without a doubt, Amnesia breathed new life into the survival horror genre with a big emphasis on survival. -- Brendan Graeber. Sanity Effects sound like a cheap gimmick, but having to maintain your characters' wits throughout each of Eternal Darkness' distinct short stories creates another layer of tension on an already tense and stressful survival game. Combat isn't elegant, but it's empowering enough to make you feel capable -- but only in small bursts, and only until something goes wrong. When your heroes start losing their minds, and fail to cope with the horrors around them, Eternal Darkness becomes a survival game unlike any other -- one with memorable moments, an unforgettable story told across generations, and gameplay that betrays preconceived expectations. It's an unpredictable experience that has remained one of the absolute best in its field. -- Mitch Dyer. System Shock 2 might give you more to work with than most survival games, but make no mistake, the horror is quite present in a very unique style. What set System Shock 2 apart from other FPS/RPG hybrids like Deus Ex and Thief was its unflinching look at sci-fi situation gone horribly wrong. The player finds themselves aboard spaceship crawling with mutant alien-human hybrids, with their moans of joining “the many” filling your ears as they search for you, and often screaming for you to kill them or run away. System Shock 2 might tease you into believing you are playing a traditional rpg or action game, up until ammo starts to becomes scarce, and your weapons jam or break down. All the while, there is an unshakeable dread that a sinister A.I. is watching you, calculating your moves as it exerts control over your environment. The game’s many mechanics would eventually become key parts of its spiritual successor, Bioshock, but the setting, mood, and themes that System Shock 2 carried made it stand apart even to this day as a prominent survival horror game. -- Brendan Graeber. Crimson Butterfly managed to capture a fantastic atmosphere by setting the game around the Japanese countryside and its creepy abandoned villages, and having the main character be a young, and ostensibly powerless child makes the fear that much more effective. -- Marty Sliva. Silent Hill 2 embodies everything that can go right with survival horror. It bears an overwhelming sense of dread from its bleak beginning to its bittersweet end. Its marriage of gameplay and story -- quite literally a widowed husband escaping and fighting his own darkness come to life -- creates uneasy themes, challenging subject matter, and terrifying encounters with mysterious, monstrous enemies. Silent Hill 2, like its predecessor, establishes a convincing sense of place that's discomforting, underscored by an unbeatable, somber soundtrack. -- Mitch Dyer. © 1996-2018 Ziff Davis, LLC.

WORTH EVERY PENNY! This IS HANDS DOWN, One of THE ABSOLUTE BEST, MOST ADDICTING Zombie / Survival games I've ever played. I honestly have no Complaints as pretty much all of them are being adressed in the Second Installment, That I can't wait to get my hands on, might I add. (EX: Graphics, Customization, Map size, Co-op, ect.). Seriously Though "Undead Labs" is doing it right. With that being said, all in all . Package Deal. 453 out of 471 people found this helpful. For those who held out on this port. I must say when I played this on Xbox 360 it was immediately my all time favorite zombie game. Thanks to the Halloween sale couldn't pass this up. Takes the GTA gameplay into a Zombie Apocalypse. For those who played through the previous version and felt $30 seemed like a rip due to the previous version costs $15, get the Xbox One version for $10 while you can. 358 out of 375 people found this helpful. Like GTA in a zombie universe. I could play this for days. This game allows you to either indulge your. gory sweet tooth for zombie genocide, while sometimes forcing you into desperate situations to remain stealthy and slip away, lest you alert the horde. The tradeoff? fairly common (yet comical) minor bugs and rushed design that, at points, breaks immersion. you'll only notice a half hour in that they were VERY short on voice actors and lines. This is ESPECIALLY problematic in the breakdown mode. luckilly, the gameplay makes up for this. The survival elements, and the ability to, in a sense, build a zombie apocolypse empire and rule the roost while often mowing down zeds to find supplies, make the aforementioned oversights in development easily forgiveable, and sometimes, endearing. 327 out of 341 people found this helpful. just as fun as on 360. i waited for it to be on sale cause on the 360 i use to sit there and play for hours on end, get this now on sale great game the best zombie game hands down, also definitely in my top 10. i can still play for hours especially with the addition of new characters, weapons and vehicles a must own with dead labs finishing state of decay 2 with multiplayer servers will definitely crash day one with everyone who loves this game, see u then. 257 out of 268 people found this helpful. A very satisfying Zombie Survival game! I have played both PC, and Xbox 360 versions. This updated version is even better. My only (admittedly huge) complaint is automagically spawning zombies. Ruins immersion and sense of accomplishment. Otherwise, a fantastic game! 267 out of 280 people found this helpful. Zombie Awesome-ness. Very fun open world game. SoD 2 is slated for release in 2017. Bring it on. I'd like to see more of that. 104 out of 107 people found this helpful. The unoffical Walking Dead game! If your a fan of the Walking Dead then this is a must buy. Just like the TV series you have survive on trust and wise decisions. Hunt for surpplies, maintain and expand your fort and crew. Be careful on what you do because once you die that character will be gone FOREVER. Build stats, find weapons and also grow your own food. This is what a zombie sim should be all about! Now there are a handful of bugs and glitches but they are easliy outweighed from the volume of content that this game presents. Theres even vehicles are at your disposal! So if your a zombie fan and love movies and shows like Night Of The Living Dead and The Walking Dead then I guarantee you'll love this game. 79 out of 81 people found this helpful. This is honestly one of the best games I have ever played. A free roam with just miles and miles to explore, the story mode is okay but the stratagy is amazing. I feel that it could have more objects to collect and more buildings to scavange from as I think that there are about 10-15 hours worth of scavaging after that you just kinda run out of stuff to collect. 135 out of 142 people found this helpful. Zombie Open World RPG Perfection! A True Fan For Life! As with anything this game may not be for everyone, but for those die hard zombie fans out there like me; well this game is perfection in my opinion! The story mode is fairly entertaining and gives you a close look at the lives of the survivors you encounter from their pasts, to their current & new life amidst the zombie outbreak. Its scripted progression but its a fun ride nonetheless. Once youve beaten that, the real action is in the Sandbox style mode called Breakdown which to me is THEE best thing about this game and ive enjoyed countless hours upon hours across several dozens of playthroughs on this mode alone. It strips away the story and essentially lets YOU create your own; living out your very own Zombie Apocalypse Survival Simulation. As with every mode you must scavenge & provide for your group, bringing home resources as well as well as usable items & gear. You can unlock special Hero's to start as or join current game. Every aspect & choice is yours, how will YOU survive? 99 out of 102 people found this helpful. Translate to English. Язык Microsoft Store: United States - English.

ARK: Survival Evolved. Stranded on the shores of a mysterious island, you must learn to survive. Use your cunning to kill or tame the primeval creatures roaming the land, and encounter other players to survive, dominate. and escape! TAME, TRAIN, BREED & RIDE DINOSAURS, IN A LIVING ECOSYSTEM Over 50 creatures can be tamed using a challenging subdue-&-protect process. Weaken a feral creature to knock it out, and then nursing it to health. Once tamed, you can issue commands to your Pet, which it may follow depending on how well you’ve tamed and trained it. Pets continue to level-up and consume food, and carry Inventory and Equipment. Fly a Pteranodon over the mountains, race through the jungle with a pack of Raptors, or chase down prey on a T-Rex! Experience a dynamic ecosystem with its own predator & prey hierarchies. Breed Pets through successive generations to generate the best traits. Or put more simply, breed & raise Dino Babies! FOOD, WATER, TEMPERATURE AND WEATHER Eat and drink to survive, with different foods having different nutritional values (including human meat!). All actions drain food and water, and long-distance travel is draining. Inventory weight slows you down, and the day/night cycle and weather alter the environment. Craft clothing, build shelter, and use fire to protect yourself against damage & the elements. HARVEST, CRAFT, AND PAINT ITEMS Harvest trees, ore, and more to become a master crafter. Use your hands, a Smithy, or a Fabricator to craft increasingly complex and powerful gear. Build a massive base using modular pieces--ranging from Thatch, to Wood, to Stone, to Metal. Customize your base by painting it and placing signs that you can actually draw on. Weapons, clothing, & armor gear can also be painted to express your own visual style. SUMMON THE ULTIMATE LIFE FORMS Bring rare items to special Summon locations to awaken the ARK’s mythical creatures, who arrive ready for battle. These monstrosities provide an end-game goal for the most experienced Tribes and their Pets, and yield valuable items if they are defeated. RPG STATISTICS Level-Up your survivor by gaining experience through in-game actions to learn new crafting Engrams, or find higher level item Blueprints in the most dangerous parts of the ARK. Customize the look of your character with a complex character creation system. HARDCORE MECHANICS Items have durability and wear out with use if not repaired. When you leave the game, your character remains “sleeping” in the persistent world. Your inventory also exists in the persistent world, vulnerable to theft. Death means permanent loss, and you can even enslave other players for your own purposes. LARGE WORLD PERSISTENCE On the 70+ player servers, your character, everything you built, and your pets stay in-game even when you leave.

A great character builder, you will be broken. Survival is real with Hunger, dehydration, hypothermia, disease, and predators. The various beast can be both terrifying enemies and reliable comrades. Building in this world is only limited to the imagination of the individual. The world is vast, and contains secrets and rare resources that can be used to craft various items. These items range from stone age to futuristic technology. Clothing, tools, structures, weapons, an everything that is made can be painted to express unique style. HOWEVER, this game is not for the faint of heart. Everything in this game is EARNED through hard work and time. literal hours will be spent doing tedious things. YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING. It is guaranteed. You are not cut out for this game if you cannot deal with adversity, loss, and helplessness. Online is brutal, you need nerves of steel. Between the dangerous environment and the even more viscous people, It takes extreme will power to conquer the ARK. All of this is why I haven't stopped playing. 726 out of 808 people found this helpful. Good for all gamer types. This game seems to have everything for every player type. Want PvP? It has it. Want PvE? yep its got that too. How about some calming Casual Play? Not a problem. And for those that just like to build things there is tons of that in the game. It even has Solo/Privaate play for those lone wolves. Only thing i dont like is the Host link where you Absolutely must stay with the host at all times. Otherwise its a very well constructed game and very entertaining. 145 out of 159 people found this helpful. Still developing but love it :) Love the game! Just a few things would make it even better. Lower tame times. keep it just as hard to bring the dino down but make it reasonable for the taming part. 6 hours is just crazy. 1 hour tops is reasonable for anything. 3 hours for breeding times. Make it easier to get the cure or at least make it storable. Swampfever is going to frustrate the newbies til they quit before they even can start loving the game. there goes your profits and player base. You need to focus on attracting and KEEPING new players. They will just quit if they get the fever and can't cure it easier. PVP servers should wipe every 3 months or so. Some tribes have become so entrenched that no one else has a chance on that server. eventually the server will just die without new players wanting to play on it. Give everyone a fresh start and new chance. PVE servers should have an admin to check on them every month or so. Someone to solve disputes without players kiting gigas to bases turning it to PVP. 324 out of 364 people found this helpful. Love the game, hate the community. When I bought this game in pre release I had a few simple goals, build up with my friends, interact with cool people, and have fun. Unfortunately every time me and my friends try to play, we only get about a day in before a level 60 shows up and ruins all of our progress for no good reason at all. I understand the way the game is designed to have pvp and have no issues with getting raided every once in awhile, but I literally cannot start fresh in any servers due to high level trolls that ride wyverns up beaches to kill fresh spawns or some dude sprinting 600 mph with a club. I'd play in private. if there wasnt a tether for every person to stay within the host's range. Ark is so much fun and I'd like nothing more than to play it, but I keep losing everything I build if i can even survive long enough to build. To the devs please just either fix the tether problem, or allow the players to purchase and admin servers to keep out the bullies with too much time on their hands. 476 out of 519 people found this helpful. It's difficult yet fun, the variety of the dinos and animals is amazing. The graphics and framerate are iffy, but I can forgive an early access game for that. Honestly, the only issues I had were with other players. I'd often not be able to settle due to greater players destroying me despite me being miles away from any bases and having nothin better than a spear and a thatch hut. On some servers, I would spawn in just to be killed by spike traps conviniently placed on every spawn point in a certain zone. I'll keep playing, but I'll stick to single player. 255 out of 288 people found this helpful. Ark Survival Evolved Pros & Cons. Ark Survival Evolved is by far my personal favorite game and i only want the best for the game and its developers. Of course there are a few problems with the game like a host barrier in non dedicated servers and there are not as many options as there should be for making your server statistics the way you want them or the way you feel they should be. I wish to see these things added and removed from the game. Thank you for many hours of dinosaur filled fun . ❤ 150 out of 166 people found this helpful. please read this before you buy. After a recent update the offical servers are now 2x everything making this game so much less of a grind. However playing solo is very tough and earning people's trust is also rough to get into a decent tribe. But- once you're in a good tribe then the real fun starts. 118 out of 130 people found this helpful. Great Overall BUT. The game itself is phenomenal and the devs put a lot of time in the game and community. The game is also beautiful but it has intese glare. The game does lag, not enough to rage quit but enough to get frustrated. The AI sucks but the variety is great. Would recommend. 301 out of 345 people found this helpful. Good game, backstabbing developer. The concept and execution were spot on, but wildcard stabbed the longtimers in the back. They charged us for DLCs after saying they wouldn't, they never gave us the story that was promised, and then they burned time and manpower on garbage like mods before they even fihished the actual product. Don't trust Wildcard: they'll eventually betray y'all too. 675 out of 795 people found this helpful. Awesome game, loads of fun, punishing at the begining. I hate that you can play every day and get 100+ hours but if you dont play for a week or two, all your animals will starve or be stolen and everything you built will be destroyed by other players. Really?? Thats my biggest complaint, ARK demands that you play it exclusively or else everything you've spent hours on will be for nothing. 945 out of 1113 people found this helpful.

Top 9 Best Horror Games on Xbox. Horror games give us the best scares from horror movies along with the feeling that we are (or at least think we are) in control of the situation. There are a lot of great horror games on the original Xbox and these are our picks for the ten best. Some of them are scary while others lean more towards horror/comedy, but all of them are fun to play and a great way to waste away cold fall and winter nights. No other series does creepy, twisted, blood soaked horror better than Silent Hill. These games aren't as "jump out and say boo" crazy as other horror games and instead rely on horrific images and things that work on you mentally until you're so scared you are afraid to turn out the lights. In other words, good times. Continue Reading Below. Continue Reading Below. Doom 3 and its Resurrection of Evil expansion are great horror games for a number of reasons. Between stumbling around in the dark with a world full of demons, blood soaked hallways, chainsaw wielding maniacs, creepy chanting, and the hallucinations of your character, Doom 3 works the horror angle in a number of different ways and is pretty effective overall. House of the Dead 3 isn't all that scary, but it features lots and lots of zombies, a horror staple, so it belongs here.
