I WILL be playing games in the next videos. PC issues held me back, but now we're good - so what game should I play first? Have a great day guys

[@ShadyNefarius]

I forgot to mention about Bermuda Lost Survival - something that less people are playing it and have it bought last year.

[@Hobbitude]

Have you tried "Survival : Fountain of Youth", "Force Of Nature 2 : Ghost Keeper" and "Hold Your Own" ? They are really good and deserved to be more known ;)

[@mihaimurgu9877]

Among Trees

[@Trueitshim]

Add seen, a good game

[@Davoda2]

Why should every game be multiplayer focused mess? Without players it's dead, and don't we have a million of those already? This mentality is ruining the industry.

Hearing "its just single player" is just a big plus for me, multiplayer is a my pet peeve.

[@Pixelhoarder4life]

I tried Arctico last month and thought it was pretty decent, definitely want to play it more. Just have way to many other games going on right now. Lately i've gotten myself into this bad habit of buying games, and then trying them for a few minutes to see if like them or not. If I like them I put them on a list of games to finish. My list currently has 37 games on it and of course I just bought more games last night because I can't seem to resist those dang weekend steam sales.

[@emi7916]

len's island is great. cosy graphics and the base building is fun. it also gets updated fairly regularly and has a roadmap which is a good sign

[@leeharveyoslik]

Thanks for letting me know about 15 games i never going to play anyway.

[@some_random_giraffe2806]

I already have played the inflected and have Praey for the gods on my wishlist, the others seem new to me and I might look further into :D

[@CosmicDuskWolf]

I remember watching a KZbin video with the Lens Island developer talking about how he was working on different parts of the game he was working on.

[@anujmehta3051]

It's the list, I didn't ask, but also the one I needed!

[@OwOUwUOnO]

Hearing about how Escape to Enan makes the pc run loudly reminds me of how Green Hell shuts down my PC even on the minimal graphic settings XD

[@catbirdstudios]

I played Among Trees before it was released and did an entire series of videos on it. There were a lot of us on their forums that were devastated that they just released the game all of a sudden and just abandoned it when it still has so much potential. So disappointing.

[@shozzy_id]

Half of them are on my wishlist, I wish I had more time

[@ThatHandsomeGuy647]

I played Among Trees. It's fun, for the first few hours of gameplay. There's not a lot of stuff to do. When you finish your house there's nothing left to do other than explore the same areas for more food. The best thing in this game is the artstyle, but the gameplay gets boring after a short time.

[@stathiskatsi3277]

agreed

i played Pine haha, I loved it

[@jeanduprez5406]

the whole dragon quest series, allow us to introduce ourself

[@frillen5834]

I hear you say coop and multiplayer a good deal, but for a small indie developer it can be quite an expensive and huge task to convert a singleplayer game to multiplayer, lots of them fail in the attempt to do so for different reasons, I love playing multiplayer games and probably spend most of time in such, but I am also tired of seeing small singleplayer games become a mess or even die simply because they don't really know their limitations... It's not something you just add to a game that wasn't built for it from start. That said I have played some of the game on this list, and here's my take on why they aren't in the best place... Retreat to Enen: Game looks beautiful, but it is way overpriced, there is very little content, many of the mechanics are very simple, building system is horrible and limited, it lacks logic and is too much of grind without any real progression. The Infected: It's a sort of ok survival game with decent mechanics, but it lacks in world design and need to keep exploring after having found all blueprints, animations and sounds are very basic, also it becomes a tedious grind rather fast, but still a decent survival game that doesn't really try to be different from the rest. Arctico: I kinda love this game, but there is not nearly enough to do in it, and coop/multiplayer won't solve this problem, it needs content and better reasons to explore. Len's Island: A nice little game with building and combat in diablo style, but it is overpriced for what it offers, I know it is early access, but it tries to compete with farming games, and it is not doing well in that aspect, also it is weirdly locked to 1 view angle which kinda let's the building and decoration a bit down, but who knows maybe they can pull it off during ea. Among Trees: I haven't personally played this myself, but it was initially supposed to be released in early access on Steam, but the devs signed an exclusive contract with the devil(Epic) for the entire ea process, lots of people were angry about that, however from what I hear the game lacked a lot of content and was perhaps rushed to a full release.

[@tdmxross]

I agree with you

[@trashman1358]

Surroundead looks good, I like this type of art style - but early access and been stung too many times so full release and we'll see...

[@nikolaskuklis5925]

8:00 I wonder why so little games have that Unturned style inventory

[@Shihimase]

Praey for the Gods is absolutely amazing.

I guess I am one of the few that does not like multiplayer. I think a lot of times sacrifices have to be made to maintain balance in single player and multiplayer, and some of us are just antisocial :) .

[@hddbvdcx]

I played Endling because i like foxes but it was just to sad so i canceled it:(

[@guitarsandcars2586]

I'm not sure why being single player would be a bad choice for survival games. I see many people playing games like 7 days to die and Ark survival evolved single player. Without irritating online gaming can be and how most games seems to cater more towards online players instead of the people that enjoy single player, it's definitely nice seeing more developers catering to us single player people. MMOs are kind of overrated and are just not fun or interesting.

[@Padsjr]

pine is the best one

[@GamerMax]

Nope, I own the infected. Good survival game; still early.

[@aenohesa9997]

Why does everything have to be multiplayer or co-op....not everyone wants that........like me, I only play single player games because i don't want anyone messing up my game and I don't have to worry about other players killing me early in and me just giving up on the game...

[@DieTabbi]

Would be interesseting to answer the question: WHY are these game not played or popular. Must be a reason. Only because you said it is underrated make it not better or popular.

[@karlissulcs3822]

MMO survival games are kind of redundant, IMHO. It's meant to make you immersed and frightened to be alone and on the brink of survival, not playing out jokes with your mates like Rust. This ain't no Fortnite.

[@wolfhors3_660]

I think your bias against SP games taints your opinions a bit. While MP CO-OP can be fun PVP games usually devolve into a toxic player base that takes away from other fun aspects of the game especially for survival games. There is a huge player base that loves SP games. They are a just a little harder to pull off because it takes more creativity and story telling ability to pull off a good one. And return to enen is hilarious. I'm not really interested in meditating while I play a game.
