The 7 Best Survival Games of 2022!

I've spent a few days rounding up some (STEAM PC) Survival games that simply look great, some are underrated, a couple are still in development but all of them are worth keeping an eye on! I tried including many that people won't have heard of, while still giving credit to a couple which are obviously unmissable regardless of their notoriety.
Note: Many of these games are available on other platforms, but some aren't!
#1 Derelicts - Build, craft and explore alone or with friends in this hostile, mysterious wasteland, using the power of electricity and water to survive.
store.steampowered.com/app/15...
#2 V Rising - Raise your castle and thrive in an ever-changing open world full of mystery. Gain allies online and conquer the land of the living.
store.steampowered.com/app/16...
#3 Xera Survival - Raid for resources alone or with team-mates, build and defend your base, stash your gear and survive against the odds.
store.steampowered.com/app/62...
#4 Dysterra - Sci-Fi based FPS survival game where the players cooperate with/compete against each other on a destroyed Earth.
store.steampowered.com/app/15...

It's important to note that not all of these are available outside of Steam (PC)! Are there any games I missed? Let me know and I might do a follow up video :)

[@batmanspy]

A great survival Game is Ark although quite pricey you can spend ages with your friends or alone fighting giant dinos or building awesome bases!

[@attakerwolf666]

I think the popular one like Green Hell, Raft, The Forest, Minecraft, rust, stranded deep, and ark don’t need to be covered because very body knows them but in a follow up video you should go over Sons of The Forest it like one of the most promising 2022 survival games coming out later this year (October). I really you need to cover this one.

[@RyeGamesOfficial]

@@attakerwolf666 I'll note that down! Thanks

[@austingaul6008]

Aground is a good survival game that may not look like it has a lot to offer at first but when you look into the later parts of the game you can see that you can build space ships and tame dragons and I have put over 30 hours into it and I loved from start to finish.

[@youtubenightwolf]

I like how people complain about paying $20 for a game that gives you 20+ hours of entertainment but will spend $30 on a movie or a 12-pack of beer.

I have the mindset that if I pay 20 bucks in a game and I play it more than 3 hours it's just like going to the cinemas and I think that's fine. ^^

[@cloud1973]

Finally, Different games from the ones i've seen 100's of times, Thank you Rye!

[@NickC_222]

Derelicts looks so cool. It looks like a small development team, like just a couple people, played The Forest, Dying Light, Fallout 4, Rust, Conan Exiles, No Man's Sky, etc., and just added everything cool from those games into their own game. Like, they played Fallout 4 and met Dogmeat and said "I need that dog in my game!" And then played Dying Light and said "I need that grappling hook in my game!" And then played The Forest and said "I need that tarp crafting table in my game!" Etc. It's not a bad thing. It's awesome. Imagine a game combining the best and most fun systems and mechanics from all those games. That's the vibe I get watching this footage. I really wanna play this game!

[@DerelictsGame]

Hello Nick! I'm Romain, the developer of Derelicts. :) I'm solo developing the game and what you described is exactly it! Haha!

[@raycar1165]

@@beetle3190 Its the longest running alpha I know of, and if it ever gets boring, there is an awesome modding community. The graphics are not next level but for a voxel game they are great. They've come a long way, but it's still a work in progress. Which is kinda like saying it's a new game each major update. For me, it is the proverbial high jump bar when I look for new games, and nothing yet has beat it.

[@vtelannasv4324]

7 days would be great if they allowed you to go back to same map when you die in multiplayer...instead you just go to main menu join another serve and if you die well you get it....they need to do what ark does. Is that so hard? 2 they need to hurry up and stop having that conflict where the PC version is on console because the console version is not as near as good as pc version. hopefully another survival game like 7 days comes out cuz its indefinite what they are doing....maybe 2030 7 days will be out. @@raycar1165

[@sleepyproduction7166]

Two of my favorite genres of games, rpg, and survival. Mainly because both have crafting and micromanaging. I’m so glad survival games have been popping off, rpgs haven’t been good in so long. They’re easy mass marketed as in to simple, or the story is shit while crafting is good, or story is great while simple perks and crafting.

[@SuperShithead22]

its a fun game with realism, but what killed it for me was the rates at which everything depletes. Kinda kills the immersion for me eating and drinking every 5 minutes.

Still playing 7Days. Love the modded servers though because Alpha for this long is dragging on. There are some great vehicle, survival, tool/weapon, zombie, bandit and block mods. Most survival games need to learn from 7Days fully destructible world. But it needs to learn from its community. Some people have offered their really good and finely tuned mods for free and Fun Pimps have said no.

[@Tucher97]

This may sound off coming out of me but I still wish for a dinosaur survival game, except the dinos are acting as actual animals and all can be potentially befriended. Yes there is Ark but Ark is multiplayer first and foremost that came out when rust was popular. I was more thinking a more single player focus similar to akin to Far cry primal, just numerous options from weapons that would sort of exist in the stone age to early iron age and with a combination with environmental survival from Long dark where you can find or make gear to help protect you from the elements and wilds. With equipment that does a bit of both.

Take over the town, set up patrols in town, run executions to mitigate crime/uprisings etc.
