Chances are, you already own a copy of Minecraft or already know what it's about, but should you be new to the game it's essentially a Java-based block building simulator and crafting-survival and multiplayer Frankenstein. But you have to combat monsters in survival mode, and you are tasked with crafting items and building a home so we figured it was only right we added it to our round-up. Sure, Minecraft ($26.99) isn't technically a dedicated survival game, nor is it really that difficult to survive. The end goal is to make your way off the planet, but there are many dangers on your path to escape. The story revolves around your ship crashing on a strange planet, and there's a mystery surrounding what caused the accident and what happened to this world. It's just a shame you need to construct underwater bases, right?
Not only will you need to go through the usual crafting processes, but there are beasts located beneath the surface that do not take kindly to your presence. It's a survival game with a twist: You're in the ocean. Subnautica ($24.99) is a game that blew me away on first firing up the title.

We have a stunning pixelated art style, matched with intense and fluid combat, unique bosses and enemies, expansive crafting system, Hardcore and Expert modes to add more of a challenge, and more. What makes this game so popular (and managed to sell millions of copies) is how addictive the gameplay is. Terraria ($9.99) is a game that still manages to grab thousands of players at a time on Steam alone, even though the title was originally released seven years ago. We've played through many of them and will now run through a select few we feel you should add to your game library. There are literally hundreds of games that have the 'survival' tag, yet only a bunch are really worth purchasing.
