Exploring 6 Survival Games You Never Played

[@itsmedrumroll3572]

Makes you wonder how many people like Looney are out there, just doing what they like and vibing away alone on some server having a blast. I sometimes do it. Its wholesome, you probably made his day!

[@chickenman8881]

my friend and i legit sit on empty basically modded rust PvE servers and build so much XD

[@C-BoT-AU]

@@chickenman8881Why I tend to never run on PvP servers and generally just end up playing solo on my own server. Sunk a good many many hours into Ark doing that. No malicious raiding and destroying someone's efforts, just wholesome fun!

[@frodomindset]

​@@C-BoT-AUits not fun if you dont get raided or raid others, thats what makes games super fun, and killing others, ofc

[@C-BoT-AU]

@@frodomindset I don't completely Disagree with you (and don't want to get into some deep arguement or anything either), but for me, grinding out hours or days, and then losing everything, just can't do it. But you're right, raiding and defending from raids is fun. Too much fun that I'd do exactly what I hate and wipe out sommeone else's base. Something where maybe you did have a true safe area/base that you stored stuff, and some things saved, then it's just outposts you lose (but you don't have to start over each time). Someone will work out the perfect balance one day!

[@frodomindset]

@@C-BoT-AU i understand you, it is annoying when you grind for days and lose everything overnight. That's the only thing I really hate, offline raids, which are the most common (talkin about DayZ). But it's all a bunch of challenges which I enjoy and look forward to.

[@Drunken0]

For Deadside, Safezones can be removed byprivate server owners. They dont have to, it´s an optional feature. Also official servers will keep safezone

[@MrGamer-et5lp]

Not yet mate, It's an upcoming feature, unless I've missed something.

[@Drunken0]

@@MrGamer-et5lp yes... on Public test server now, just wanted to clarify that sfz will not get removed

[@R-SXX]

I am also familiar with Unreal and currently work on two games, and seeing how the devs wanted to create these puddle / ground textures by just lowering the landscape and showing the unreal basic water underneath is just +chefskiss+

[@bosniaforever]

I'm pretty sure Vein is being made by ex-developers of Dead Matter as a big "F... you" to that game's management and directors. So I've got high hopes for it considering the fact that it's a passion project fueled by spite.

[@LoafDS]

Hey there, Lead CM for Deadside. We are not removing safezones at all, instead we are giving community server admins the ability to remove them if they want. Removing safezones for everyone would be a terrible idea. Unfortunately it seems a lot of people have misinterpreted this feature, and its causing a lot of negativity, review bombing our game like you showed in your video, making the misunderstanding even worse. When I made the steam post, I assumed most people would at least read the first sentence, but I was wrong, so here we are. We do know that we have a long way to go though, making an open world survival game is a huge undertaking, and our team is still relatively small, but growing. I think once we flesh out all of our features, and add the features that we need, we will have a pretty solid game.

[@RustyBear]

Why did ur comment not get any attention 🤣🦫

[@mylo5641]

The game's pretty fun, I bought it in 2021, I basically just play pve servers though

[@firetruck2399]

How is it now?

[@jester9959]

Im so happy to see someone covering NEO Scavenger. Genuinely one of my favorite games! Though the game is fairly difficult and does have a bit of a learning curve. (2k hours invested in the game btw)

[@kamorage4200]

I hope you have watched sseth's review :3

[@jokerhaha9630]

Hey bro, I'm new to Neo Scavenger and obviously I suck (8 hours and the farthest I've made it is three days). Does this game require immense critical thinking skills or do I just play until I learn how not to die?

[@jacoblong6228]

@@jokerhaha9630 no game really requires intense crit thinking, its all trial and error, just keep playing and learning new things that is what any game is about, i can compare it to starting minecraft for the first time ever, just little steps at a time. and if a game fr needs heavy crit thinking then it wont go far as a game because most modern day gamers are incapable of that. XD (jokes)

[@jokerhaha9630]

@jacoblong6228 I mean I don't mind dying 50,000 times. I just want to know if I am capable of having fun in such a game. I'm going to keep playing it and see what happens. Thanks bro :3

[@Spraytaint]

Turn-based are so boring to me

[@RobertEdits]

I played deadside in 2020 when it first came out, Servers were populated like crazy and the community was big, met a friend on there who lived 25 minutes from me! Super toxic which made it fun

[@chickenman8881]

so happy to see sunkenland on this list it has so much potential

[@AnthroTsuneon]

I remember Neo Scavenger. Friend of mine got really into it and pulled me into it because it felt immersive/it rewarded trying out different recipes to craft, where you'd get really excited at getting a shopping cart, feared going to sleep and it had a solid horror house in the middle of nowhere. As for it being something someone never played.. I imagine SsethTzeentch's video from 3 years ago with 3.3 million views might have changed that.. Haven't heard anyone talk about a new, similar game the devs have been making, though

[@kirstiesgaming5168]

Sunkenland is getting good :D You can dive down and get scrap metal, glass, cool decorations/neon signs, cloth etc :) Discovery down in the sea :D You can make the base out of metal pretty quick too. Weird naked things come sometimes at night, the music changes, but with a spear they're easy :) We did travel via a boat to another island but wasnt too bad, good balance. We have the difficulty on normal so maybe thats why? You get armor, dif clothes, bed, whole lot of stuff you can make inc flippers and oxygen tanks on the research table :D Theres 4 levels of recipes to unlock in there :) Can't wait to play more! :)

[@RustyBear]

It still looks like a fuckin cheap mobile game. Its such an asset flip

[@jaobidan2358]

@@RustyBear It's not a bad game at all despite the asset use. The crafting system is deep, there's a lot to do and explore and if you put the game on hard or insane, it becomes impossible to solo after day 30 because you get raided by 20+ mobs with m16s and aks that shred a reinforced metal base in seconds. It needs work but it's decent enough.

[@rickynolen8882]

I'm over 35 hours into the game and I love it, I'm looking forward to more content in the future.

[@PaSP_YT_DE]

no it's shit

[@bigladieuan9432]

neo was a mobile game aswell im pretty sure, i used to play a game which was exactly like this in school it was so fun to be able to play such a well made game,really seems like a passion project its so in depth.

[@JolanXBL]

6:13 My friend & I did fairly well in Void Train. I found it too boring past a few sessions, but I did manage to glitch off the tether and could fly way out away and ahead to collect everything. There's gunplay and a void shark as unlock things that offer protection.

[@Eggmaestro2004]

A shame NEO Scavenger didn't get much playtime in this video, but hey, that's permadeath for you, Its pretty different to most of the survival games i've played, there are unfortunately some issues in it with the random encounters that can happen it may be rare, but there ARE some encounters (story or otherwise random) that can result in instant death, There were some also nice mods to add extra content, however the dev forums got destroyed as far as i know which wiped alot of mods for the game. The mod NEO Scavenger Extended is actually still in active development right now and can be found in the steam forums and really adds to the game. It adds things like several types of clothing, changes how scavenging is handled (more locations in a tile but doesn't replenish as often) a whole lot new items, a few new creatures, new traits, both negative and positive. I really recommend it.

[@Imarealzombi]

God i wish they kept update neo instead of moving on to whatever ostranauts is

[@jokerhaha9630]

​@@Imarealzombiagreed, NS just had a better vision

[@theridiculousspud9923]

when i was like 13 on ark i used to wonder if there were people like you who go back to old servers and stuff like this, it’s amazing. keep up the good work

[@MrPablosek]

Neo Scavenger, such a great game. Barely anyone knows about it.

[@jimi6505]

you see a melonhead

[@moisesrios7899]

I remember playing a demo for it on the play store a few years ago

[@worldburnerbreadman7886]

My best advice for neoscav… use ranged trait and literally fill any bag you can find with them, you can even kill the armed guards with them because the rocks aren’t counted as strong projectiles against their armor

[@H33333]

Hey, if you want another dead game, I’d recommend you take a look at World War 3. Once it was viewed as a Battlefield killer but it’s slowly died away.

[@Indiedeca]

No joke took me a week of trying to get to the city, Neo scavenger is one of the best games I've ever played

[@me36391]

On neo Scavenger its one of the Goats in terms of HC rouge games. You really have to understand the actually perks you pick as they are very important and you can win using different choices. But it does take to learn the mechanics. On the one guy I find myself being that person on a lot of titles. I usually return to old staker MMOs like Stay Out, Next day, Fallen earth, etc. Usually a few others playing but never really cared about what is popular.

[@slips4990]

deadside is great but they honestly don't nearly update it as they should, as small a team as it is they focus on the wrong things, expanding on the map which is great, but we still don't even have land vehicles lol, they only just recently changed the sway/breath holding mechanics for scopes, and not to mention you still can't even go prone! lol

[@LemonKushDeadside]

Im absolutely disgusted with the development team of deadside they partnered with tiny build a little over a year ago, and have released FOUR yes FOUR shit patches in a row with no actual idea what the fuck they’re doing. Dont get me wrong i loved the game pre 0.4 (the progressive recoil update) but since then it just feels like theyve lost the original direction they wanted to go with the game. Ill be back in around a year, i cant stand the changes they made over the past year, boats were so important that we coded them for well over 4 months, then on release they had so many bugs and its just so disgusting how people are still promoting it. Ive been here since the alpha release, and they’ve completely fked me in the ass and made me regret ever spending money on the game in the first place.

[@gaslitgames]

Sunkenland updated recently and killed my original save, but considering how much they changed things and it being early access, I'm fine with it. There is a definite advantage to diving for all your progression rather than trying to fight things on islands for it. There's also a pretty inexpensive pedal boat you can make early on to get around without swimming (and freezing your butt off in the water at night). Definitely worth the money to mess around in.

[@SephirothPhenyx]

My dude, Ï absolutely love all the content you throw down. Keep on doing what you do- be sure to stay legendary. You are an absolute unicorn in the gaming communities you grace bruv so thank you for embarking on your gaming journey.

[@RustyBear]

Deadside will get a HUGE city soon. U have to explore that when it comes out

[@Pistol_Knight]

Deadside has it's faults but is a good game if your a solo, you get plenty of action. Have you tried Mist

[@RustyBear]

Its pretty good but after 150-200 h it gets very empty

[@jemignome]

Just found your channel, love all your videos bro. Would definitely like to see Battlerite get featured in one of these videos, it was super fun when it came out but just phased out and tried to go battle royale, which was actually really fun, but it ended up losing traction again, and then falling where it's at now. The community that does play is super committed and if there were more players the game has so much potential.

[@LeonardBMCcCoy]

I know commenting on a 3-month old video sometimes doesn't make sense, but I am 1000% of the belief that the VeinGame reddit got cleaned up specifically cause of this video! haha

[@King_CreepaLot]

Holy shoot, NEO Scavenger! I totally forgot about that game, but have it in my Steam list. That and Vein! I always remember the 'Mesopretty Flerp Flerps' and them falling off constantly. Void Train too, that was definitely a unique concept but I can't say I played it much.

[@qcote8219]

I got really excited seeing Voidtrain on here! Its such a good game inspite its infancy and lack of polish

Dead side is actually really good the story behind it has to do with a movie that came out earlier 2000s called "the road" I recommend watching it even if you never play the game

[@wens999]

neo is a great game hard to master but good fun once you get the hang of it

[@Silver803]

When Deadside came out it was a lot of fun but over the past 3 years it doesn't feel like anything was done to improve it. It's sad, it had potential.

[@TwistOfTransistor]

Nice videos. I really like the emptiness in those servers from games that try to be something but not so many people get to experience what they are. I had to recently subscribe to your channel. Looking forward to check more videos like these with even more games, like adventure games and lineal single player experiences that are not very known.

[@SgtSalty34]

just gonna say this before I watch the rest of the video, Kyle and Azi do such a great job with Vein.

[@AnekoF90]

I saw Deadside back in 2020. I have no idea how the game is now, but back then, it was pretty much alive

[@ArronMCFC]

Deadside is definitely a great game. The gunplay feels nice and the AI is very good. I just feel like theres only a few things to loot, no vehicles and the storage is brutal. Also base building is a nono unless theres like 30 people on your team

[@grantcookcook]

Yeah, the game is a borderline mechanical masterpiece, but it suffers from feeling empty, even though what there actually is to do is fun once you walk the million miles to get to it. Also, agreed on the storage, If all there really is to do in the game currently is loot, it's annoying that there is so little space to keep anything.

The AI is terrible lol, spot you 120m+ then proceed to sprint towards you like terminators, bushes dont conceal so they just see you through them, i shot an 'easy' mission UNARMORED ai 4 times with the SG5 hunting rifle + 8 shots with the PM/start pistol. on top of that the games just so bland. buildings you cant go in, repeated interiors, copy and pasted textures, the list goes on. AI can insta headshot you with mosins, Tarkov AI is more forgiving.

@@woody0501 when have u played this game? 1 year ago? 2? We have vehicles, animals, AI rework, Hunting and a lot of houses can be Entered. But I agree on the copied textures and the bland interior

Hey Rye, enjoy your videos, they're hilarious. Got a game for you in this category I never see anyone do videos about. It's on Steam and it's called Night of the Dead. Zombie survival game somewhat like 7 Days to Die, but it's on an actual designed map that has a way to escape the island at the end and the zombie attacks happen EVERY night and get worse as time goes on....but it has some really sick traps you can build.

[@DodgerRedGaming]

I love NeoScav so much, it’s such an incredible game. Really recommend to everyone its worth spending some time in it and just trying things out.

[@C-BoT-AU]

I hated that game 🤣🤣🤣 I mean, I loved it, the concept, and everyting. But... THAT GOD DAMN DOGMAN!!! My patience is not long enough for that game.

[@DodgerRedGaming]

@@C-BoT-AU it can be rough getting into it, I’m autistic enough just to sit down and let time fly by, plus I learn things fast. I’d still recommend just trying again occasionally and just experimenting. Here’s a tip, might help you out surviving longer, you can use shards of glass from the lab and your clothes to craft a knife, having a basic weapon/tool will help you survive so much longer. The glass shanks do break easily and there’s no limit on how many you can have

Deadside has a small community and it’s a sin. It’s a good game for people who like survival games but don’t want to deal with the ultra-hardcore survival elements some games like DayZ have. There’s PVE/PVP, some servers have both, some have one. It has base building like Rust, being able to build somewhere as long as that area isn’t already claimed by someone There’s airdrops, which pose risk in PVP as they are obvious camping points It has a proper vaulting and climbing system Scopes aren’t flat PIP images and actually render really well There’s a variety of guns, food, and healing items The guns look and sound amazing The list goes on
