[@casediedwell5094]

No mention of Palia? Worth a look.

[@crightbrayons8416]

Road to vostok seems like a dayz survival game with robust gun mechanics. Vein looks interesting with npcs involved in it. Honeycomb apparently has a whole plant and animal cross breeding "make your own pets" thing going. Among the Trolls has my attention for its Finnish flavor on survival crafting. Aloft is interesting since it's all flying around in the sky on floating islands and creatures. Palworld seems to be ark if they used Pokémon instead of dinosaurs. Survival Machine is if dwarves played that game called wandering village. Solorpunk looks like it's raft in sky motes floating islands. Farmzone looks like it could be fun. You make a farm and defend it from zombies. Renown is a mod of rust that the developer is trying to release on its own. Medieval rust if you will. Far North looks like it could be good but I might be biased since I love the long dark. Infection free zone incorporates google maps I believe. Foundry looks fun, kinda like minecraft meets factorio. King of the dwarves seems like what some people want out of dwarf fortress.

[@Sir1nsanity]

Check out Sunkenland, based on the Waterworld movie. Supposed to release in EA this summer. I'm hyped for it.

[@midevil-game]

MidEvil is being created by devs from the DayZ mod BaseBuildingPlus and hopes to be a contender

[@drhenceforth]

Enshrouded looks like my kind of jam. I love voxel based stuff, it's part of why I've played so much of 7 days to die.

[@booniversegaming]

That's what I was thinking. Did you see the base building and destruction? It looks phenomenal! A medieval voxel based open-world base building and adventure RPG with wing suits and grappling hooks? Errrrrm, yes please!

[@ChristianGonzalez-qu6fs]

This game has me extremely hyped for the voxel system. It's doing what most voxel games don't do and I've been starving for, medieval style and good graphics.

[@cast5439]

Yeah 7dtd

[@MyDigitalParadise]

I'll add my vote for Enshrouded. Put it on my wishlist.

[@MFZBitch]

Cries in Cube World

[@Ziplinz]

These smaller development teams are on a roll with these survival games. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite genres.

[@Robin-oh3zh]

they should try to make smaller games first and grow as a company instead of building these big games and fail.

[@robbiedoodle]

It's so awesome watching your channel evolve and grow! This is one of my favorite channels on KZbin. And this was a great list, btw. Keep it up, brother!

[@KevinFrost]

This is a great list! I think the 3 I'm most excited for are Under A Rock, Enshrouded and Outbreak Island.

[@capp00]

Love these types of videos my friend! Keeping that bar set high!

[@JanstonCordell]

Great list! I'll probably end up playing all of them. Grand Emprise... I really hope it's not killed by jank because I've been dying to play a survival game that plays through the ages. The day that the 4X Strategy and Survival RPG genres are merged will be a fun one.

[@BlondeDon]

I have so much hope for the future with a lot of these games. I'm so excited 😄. Thaks for putting this together!

[@tijmenvs25]

Absolutely love these videos. I usually tend to miss out on some new games in genres I like, so having a quick glance at the best upcoming ones is excellent.

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

Make sure you add your favorites to your steam wishlist, they'll send you an email when the game releases!

[@dying2play517]

@@GunsNerdsandSteel great tip. I forgot about that feature

[@SL4PSH0CK]

ngl great tip no wonder im missing news about them 😅@@GunsNerdsandSteel

[@gligh_t3334]

Honestly I am hyped up for nightingale for some time and it just looks amazing. Visuals, the mix of magic and technology (kinda steampunk) and coop is just amazing

[@e760p3]

Dude, great job!!! You did amazing work in this video. Way to be so thorough. It’s not much but I’m sure more will follow but you earned yourself a solid subscriber. Good stuff man keep it up

[@michaeljezewski7776]

Its hard to pick one out of all of these. They all seem amazing and will be keeping a close eye on all of them I found enshrouded the other day, and instantly i liked the grapple hook allowing the character to parkour up an obstacle...something that i wish smallands grapplehook could do.

[@MrHammertime82]

Rooted and Fractured Veil are peaking my interest. Thanks for the heads up Tem!

[@jonathanagudelo6383]

Wow great video, excellent information just what i was looking for. Thank you

[@AmalieStarGames]

Great list! I've added most of these to my wishlist now!

[@toastyknuckles892]

I've been excited for Forever Skies for a while, but most of the rest of these seem good, too. A lot of them remind me of land versions of Raft.

[@schakTheNerd]

Out of these, I think I'm looking forward to Enshrouded and Nightingale the most. Kind of surprised Ars Notoria didn't make your list. It's a great time to be an open world survival/craft junkie, but it's also flooded with post-apocalyptic settings and starved for high fantasy. Moria doesn't count. That's under-world survival/craft.

[@Boris82]

I really like the extreme creativity and freedom you get in Valheim concerning base building. Definitely interested in seeing more games like that.

[@AeonSaint]

Valheim wasn't the first one with this. Planet Explorers had that too. Sadly alot of people don't know it and it's also a bit older, and also the reviews it got were really bad. It was made by the some devs that made / make "My Time at Portia / Sandrock". If you're into Voxel Building you should check it out.

[@TheSometimeAfter]

@@AeonSaint he never said it was first? What a weird way to try and push an old game that's not that good. Even weirder when you admit it's.... Not that good...

[@mostunique5941]

I just hate how once you get a big base the frames drop like crazy. If that wasn’t an issue it would be perfect

[@AeonSaint]

@@TheSometimeAfter I said it didn't get good reviews, never said that I think it's bad. In fact I love that game and think it's really cool. You can make your own blueprints in it. There used to be a site that only had blueprints fro that game from it's players. They even remade a functional White Star. And your remark just shows that people like misinterpreting other people's comments. I also wasn't trying to push anything, just saying that there were games like that before. Maybe next time read properly before you want to put someone down.

[@sterry3535]

Wish it would come to Play Station ^^ Xbox wins this1 haha

[@Lunst_DK]

Would be fantastic if the time stamp overview could include platforms. Great list of games :)

[@j-p4194]

Wow all of these games look great! I hope to see them all on your channel! Thanks for the heads up!

[@clarkmeyer7211]

Honestly Nightingale was my biggest hype but after seeing enshrouded I'm totally obsessed. Would be awesome to play both games tho.

[@LeriusDoman]

Great list, thank you!

[@pantango5503]

I just wanted to say that your videos are always top notch. It's no wonder your at 95k subs so fast, and I can see you at 1mil one day. If you haven't seen GNS 7 days to die videos, you are missing out, the guy is a pro!

[@Baigsnmouse]

I kickstarted Fractured Veil and even though I left the game as I hadn't realized it was PVP I was still very impressed with the developers, how they interacted with the community and was always a laugh when working on my home to hear Hawaiian music and see a light. Wave to the drone then get back to what I was doing. I felt it was a very well done game even in pre-alpha.

[@marcussmith4913]

neat story.. so when did you start murdering homeless people?

[@FracturedVeil]

HI Tess, thanks for the kind words, We try very hard to be transparent with the community and you'll be glad to know the drone is almost ready to start patrolling again. Also, we have plenty of PVE content for players who like that style of play as well...

[@Baigsnmouse]

@@FracturedVeil I did help some and gave recommendations from aa PVE perspective and survival game aspects of it. I always tried to be fair and balanced as I never want to take away from otehrs who PVP just because I couldn't. I was glad for every bug report that was responded to. I love the concept, the lore, and really want the game to succeed and hope so many will enjoy it. the community, the developers, and discord admins were great. The homes I would build on the little sandbar I liked., even had a swimming pool and hot tub. But in the end I was struggling with some personal issues, embarrassingly I also somehow missed the horror aspect of the game, and I realized for me that another game was a bit more my style. So I helped the developers instead reward someone else who would appreciate it so much more. You can still support games even if you aren't playing them ^,^

[@sellenesilvana]

So many promising titles here, and my wishlist just got a bit bigger. Thanks for the video!

[@Dworvin]

really appreciate how you add the tittle at the beginning and end of each tittle being presented.

[@boerboelmummy5075]

Thanks Temreki, I'm already down for "Forever Skies" but "Under A Rock"... psycho DoDos, crocoflies and Sabre-tooth Hamster mounts? It looks fantastic. A real "HERE... TAKE MY MUNNY!!" game.

[@quarantined-evil9145]

Crazy how you make bad games sound good and good games sound amazing….such a great skill keep up the good work

[@celestialflea]

Nightingale and Under a Rock are the two stand-outs for me. The basebuilding in Under a Rock in particular looks very cool.

[@xKevmachinex]

yep im hooked on under a Rock, It looks good already and im sure has so much potential yet to go!

[@celestialflea]

@@xKevmachinex I can see it being very popular with a much more casual audience than survival games usually get if it's not too heavily focused on combat. Been waiting for something chill for a while now.

[@axxey]

@@xKevmachinex I'm completely triggered by that horrible 3.3rd person view out to the left side even from this small amount of trailor.

[@eerohughes]

Under a rock is definitely a children's game.

[@celestialflea]

@@eerohughes How do you know? Nobody's seen anything about it except the b-roll here.

[@caffeinated_trash]

Outbreak Island was worked on by one person before life got to busy for the developer so they gave it to someone else. Its out but still being updated and stuff. Its a good game thus far

[@KaneoheKook]

Awesome video!!

[@davidj830]

Forever Skies looks like Subnautica hud/gameplay. Super exciting to see the devs make a new game!

[@foreverskies]

What a great bunch o' games! Thank you so much for including Forever Skies on your list! xD

[@HollowedDriver]

I am so excited for all of these. I've added all of them to my wishlist

[@jameslfowler9988]

some great looking games to check out, thanks for bringing them to my attention. nightengale looks fantastic so does moria. pretty excited for both of these... cheers!

[@TheGrimmy]

Funny enough my first impression of each game was the opposite by the end of their segments. I hated the look of most of them at the start only to be drawn in by the end. The ones that were opposite of that were fractured veil, forever skies and blind descent. Thank you so much for putting this list together, absolutely loved learning about new games and their breakdowns. Thank you as always :)

[@happystash]

Nice content suggestions!

[@Tallenn]

All of these look interesting! Got my sub!

[@NoblePathwaysHQ]

Grand Emprise: Time Travel Survival sounds like the most exciting, to me. Reminds me of Spore (loved that game). I like the idea of progression as a Time Period based system rather than just "look, I can make a new weapon for the same landscape." Thanks for this list. Got another game added to the 'ol Steam Wishlist! 🤣

[@aw7614]

seems waaaaaay too ambitious for a solo dev

[@MiriadCalibrumAstar]

Dont recommend it, investigate the dev a bit and youll start seeing really shady stuff.

[@elementskater1010]

its actually a very very bad game from what ive read about it and the dev is not the best.

[@chaoseclipse0305]

Under a Rock looks gorgeous, can't wait! Enshrouded looks amazing too, I like any game that lets you terraform. Forever Skies looks promising, I've seen some early gameplay on it!

[@OrionLaerithryn]

The Nightingale scene of the woman flying with an umbrella had me thinking of Yondu saying "I'm Marry Poppins Y'all" from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and I smiled.

[@flyinggoatman]

Grand Emprise: Time Travel Survival feels like too big of a promise to be done well. Great idea but it would be hard for any one-man team to make a game like this without cutting a lot of corners.

[@another_blacktomcat]

Nice, i like such genre overviews :)

[@morthem8297]

Okay you got me with that video! I love survival and I want to know more !

[@beauson1983]

[@RawFrequency]

Under a Rock looks more interesting than I initially thought. Still most excited for Nightingale though!

[@fadoraarmed9674]

These games coming out is going to be awesome. Hopefully not many companies been making complete games

[@user-ut1tf1yw2l]

I’m really excited for Rooted and it’s a game I’ve been watching for a long time. It reminds me of the zombie games that came out around 2015 like H1Z1 and WarZ.

[@AlanNAlaska]

Really great list, I'm glad to see we have new and interesting games to look forward to. I added most of these to my wishlist along with Dune Awakening and Ark 2.

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

I think it was two games definitely belong on the list, but unfortunately there is no gameplay footage just yet 🤔

[@Paladwyn]

As this seems to be my favourite genre, I'm kind of excited to try all these out.

[@mangotango1031]

The large majority of these games look right up my alley! I can't wait to grab them all

[@masterjames1856]

You should check Aska (it truly is a valheimesque new survival game) with some addittional settlement building with settlers

[@pun15h3r.]

survival looking good man!

[@mayumitmarikit]

im having difficulty finding game like valheim, sure i tried ark and stranded deep and have pretty descent building feature but what it fell short on is that it lacks the ability to trigger that feeling of having a shelter to keep you safe from harsh environment and climate, i guess the blind descent will be good, ill look forward to this

[@xSTONYTARKx]

Ooh the building in enshrouded looks sooo amaziiingggg

[@MrAllekzander]

Im pretty hype for Nightingale, i hope it lives up to potential.

[@theVRpilot]

[@sarahsong8345]

Played Forever Skies a while back and it gave me terrible motion sickness. I know other people had the same issue and the devs said it was something they were going to work on. I really hope it has gotten better, really want to play it.

[@toregenekhatun480]

I played a newer demo of it and it did seem better to me on that front. The overall game is just amazing and can't wait for it to come out!

[@foreverskies]

Thanks for playing our demo! Yes, we have added a slider for motion blur since the demo launched :)

[@enchanterthetim]

Enshrouded looks amazing, fingers crossed!

[@drumatron_5000]

I can't wait for Outbreak Island. 7 days to die is one of my favorite games, and I can't wait to try a new and updated game kind of similar.

[@CaptainDreddz]

Good to see you doing these types of videos. There was only 1 other I'd found that covered survival games and the quality of that channel was abysmal. If you can be the go to guy then that would be amazing and you'll hit 100k in no time

[@CaptainDreddz]

Actually,I just noticed how close you are to 100k! I should of said 200k! Even more so when I see that other guy has 187k!! You're so much better!

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

I see some channels out there just compiling trailers together without any voice-over or anything and it's getting millions of views 🤨

[@GES1985]

Enshrouded might change the way games do base building. That looked phenomenal! It didn't look too tiled like ark or conan either

[@ffwrude]

I did not see anything special.. What did i miss ?

[@GES1985]

@Rude Rude the building system looked like it wasn't "tiled" like conan or arc, where square walls and floors repeat themselves. In Enshrouded, it looked like the building mesh and textures kinda procedurally fill to make things look more realistic, and the way he added the window to the wall, awesome stuff.

[@tylerhenline2717]

All of these look amazing

[@Drekulviin]

15:21 In Nightingale you can also MaryPoppins yourself around the map.😂

[@foobar1735]

That scene from blind descent where the flowers all turn towards you is straight from subnautica below zero...

[@nathanbogdanov5993]

3:21 pestilence that's what 049 was talking about all this time.

[@OnyxDragun]

I just joined a bunch of discord servers to keep track of these. A lot look promising!

[@nickwyrmfang]

What I'm wondering is which of these sandbox games are going to allow for private servers. It seems like more and more of these releases have highly limited server slots, which bars bigger sub-communities from forming. It's why a lot of the older Sandbox games like Conan Exiles and even ARK continue to dominate the market.

[@nateh8919]

The newer games are generally co-op and not server based.

[@sindahir3]

[@Articulate99]

[@aedan6272]

[@markdavenportjr5129]

Enshrouded looks great. I just hope it will support dedicated servers and allow us to create our own servers for the game. :)

[@IamGhede]

Enshrouded, Derelicts, and Nightinggale are my top picks.

[@Jerome-C]

the one i keep is Enshrouded !! because it seem to have donjons, boss, quest and story .... and graph and gameplay look great ! Don't want only survive, survival games must be ambissious and offer more than just survive !

[@marcondesnascimentonascime4493]

Excelente, muitos vou querer jogar assim que forem lançados.

[@TheArtist441]

Why is upcoming game videos always so much more exciting than a list of already released top games? That says something about game preview videos vs what we actually get!

[@davidodonovan1699]

For the Lord of the Rings game, it's reminding me of that song "Diggy Diggy Hole"....about dwarfs, digging holes.
