    You really hit us with the Robert Baratheon POV at the start of number 15.

    I dont fully understand why there is not more coming out of Green Hell. I found the Survival Mechanics so fulfilling in this game. Here and there a little tweeking of the mechanics, a new (and bigger) map and a new story on it and I would buy it again
  • @berrylongname
    Valheim is worth a try its very atmospheric and great base builder type you can play it many ways.
  • @pharmcat8484
    Project Zomboid always makes me think of the board game Zombicide. I really need to play that again.
  • @michellemarsh58
    Great video green hell looks fun, I love palworld, terraria and minecraft. Dont starve was fun but i never got far! Ark was okay until someone came and destroyed my base and killed me and the family of bears I'd been breeding multiple times! Great video 😊
  • @Nyctonaut
    32k GANG! Darkwood was my absolute FAVORITE. Im a huge horror fan, and Darkwood had a dark, oppressive, and forboding atmosphere! Anyways, love your videos.
  • @TheRandyGr
    32k gang. I would have placed Valheim in much higher. I also would have included 7 Days to Die.
  • @n1ak
    I played all survival games, all these are good. But noone never mention night of the dead. An amazing survival game.
  • @arvinandrade8290
    You have 7 days to die in the video but you didn't include it on top 20.. it should be top 1 7D2D
  • @pharmcat8484
    I’m just going to say it. The Sims should have made the list.
  • @goofyrulez7914
    Was that old Apple ][ game, Wizardy, be considered a survival game? After all, when you died, you were dead and had to start all over.
