There are plenty of survival games out there; some either have stories along with their survival gameplay, while others may just focus on the world and gameplay aspects of the video games. One thing is certain though, and that is that survival games can produce some of the greatest narratives the gaming world has ever seen.
Sons of the Forest has finally just been released on PC and fans of the game should never cease to stop and reminisce about the game’s beloved predecessor, The Forest. The Forest is an amazing survival game that places the player in the shoes of a father who is traveling by plane with his son, Timmy.
Unfortunately, the plane crashes onto a remote island, and upon waking up, the player can see their son being taken away by an unknown figure. Players must survive the island all whilst attempting to look for their son.
Minecraft is quite arguably the most popular survival game there is, with players that aren’t big fans of the genre still falling into the enjoyable gameplay loop that resides in the block-themed game. Minecraft doesn’t have a narrative story that players can follow exactly, rather players will need to seek out all the fruitful lore there is out there in their randomly generated world.
Once players have put as much as they can together, they can find a foggy path towards what could be the game’s story.
ARK: Survival Evolved is easily one of the greatest survival games out there, and that is without even considering the amazing story that ARK features. ARK places its players onto one of many different maps, with the first one in story-order being the Island.
