Soulmask is a survival game releasing this year that has a big free demo out for steam next fest and I do not recommend it at all. The terrible character handling, lack of content, and general grindiness you might have come to expect from survivalcraft asset flips combined with what is absolutely the worst crafting UI I have ever experienced anywhere. And you have to use it for everything- it has building components crafted in inventory like it's 2013, absolutely insane.

I actually posted a link to it a few pages ago (before trying it) and forgot to come back to update my experience. Pretty poor to say the least. Half baked would be generous even for a demo of, I assume, en early access.

Maybe want to edit, like, all the posts you made with that fake post in it so people don't share it before they keep reading the thread like I almost did. Edit: For some content, I played Abiotic Factor a bit and game's pretty fun but it's weird that the stuff in the environment like calculators and whatnot have to respawn to support a foraging survival game set inside a facility like that. Wishlisted for sure. explosivo fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Jan 31, 2024 |

The Locator posted:Darkness falls is awesome and what I've been playing for some time now. I'd suggest checking out the @GunsNerdsandSteel channel on YouTube, he has two "New York City" series where he plays DF. The older one will be on an earlier version of 7 days, but it still gives a solid feel for playing the mod. Neeb Gaming has a very long Darkness Falls series and they even have Khaine, the developer, on quite a bit. There's some quality of life stuff in DF I really like, and the new stuff to craft is really neat, but holy poo poo does the difficulty ramp up quickly and enemies are brutal. Also if you break a quest sequence, like meet one of the later traders too early, it bugs out and you can never actually meet them.

Anyone played "survive the nights"? Looks like it's been. In EA since 2017, very good reviews, still being developed and not just been dumped. Caught a YouTube video earlier by accident and I looks like a cross between 7 days to die and sons of the forest.

I'm genuinely surprised that given Tears of The Kingdom's popularity, we haven't seen a survival game that copies the Sky/Surface/Depths map layers thing. Even Craftopia, which its entire thing is "BoTW but survival crafting", hasn't done it. I think it'd work pretty well for survival too if some of the loops were copied. You've got the surface for your standard gameplay. Then you have the sky islands which are relatively safer, but harder to navigate, and lastly the underground is more dangerous but full of rare resources. Some resources found only in the sky make exploring the depths safer, and resources gathered in the depths make traversing the sky and surface easier. The only thing I can think of that really comes close is Minecraft's overworld/nether/end split, and those are more seperate dimensions than layers of the same map, and you don't really feel a need to keep swapping back and forth between them.

There's a server test thing going on for Nightingale atm. Supposedly it's open to all, but discord contradicts that so idk, either way it's for another 5 hours at time of this post https://store.steampowered.com/app/1928980/Nightingale/

Seems very unfinished (which it is, I guess) but it could be interesting. Got caught in a hailstorm that almost killed me, which was pretty neat. Found out later that I had an umbrella in my inventory, which might have helped. I did enjoy that you choose the difficulty based on how prepared your character was to go to the Fae realm. Easy was fully prepared, with backpack, supplies and tools while Very Difficult was getting pulled in while asleep, so you had nothing and was dressed in pajamas. Will keep an eye on it. Hopefully the early access launch is more polished.

Might be asking too much here but can someone explain the appeal/gameplay loop of games like Spintires and Snowrunner? It looks like something I'd like to play but I'm hesitant.

When you start out you have a big uncharted map that you need to reveal by driving a smaller scout truck to watchtowers spread around the map. This reveals jobs/missions around that usually amount to finding resources somewhere on the map (or connecting maps) and driving it somewhere else with bigger trucks and delivering it. These missions can be rebuilding a bridge that gives you access to another area, recovering a broken down truck that you then get to keep, repairing garages that you can access among others. Throughout completing a map you're usually building up some big central project, the DLC's especially went into this where you're for instance helping to build a rocket launch pad or rebuilding houses in flooded areas. You also unlock new trucks and parts that make it easier to traverse especially difficult terrain that probably used to give you problems which is very satisfying. It's got excellent mud deformation and physics although not entirely realistic so you'll need to use AWD/Diff Locks to get around the real bad stuff. Snowrunner is the more gamified version they've done because Spintires/Mudtires were more or less sandboxes, but Snowrunner added all these mission types and rewards for completing them to give you a reason to want to progress which helped me stay into the game far longer than I did any of the previous games. tldr it's a bit Euro Truck Simulator chill podcast game, a bit of bennett foddy style frustrating bullshit, with a satisfying upgrade ramp. The idea of driving (sometimes very slowly) trucks through mud for hours on end has to appeal to you though because that's pretty much the whole game. Edit: ^^ yeah i would also flip through the thread and read some posts and see if it's something that might appeal to you. It is also on gamepass btw if you do have that and want to try it for a bit to see if you like it.

Snowrunner is a perfect game to zone out to and chill/listen to podcasts while also providing a steady drip of a sense of accomplishment. You are dropped into an area devastaded by some kind of natural disaster, and you slowly repair the infrastructure and unlock easier routes by delivering resources, and then suddenly you have 100hrs logged on Steam and realize that there's like 5x more official maps that you haven't even touched.

all that being said, it does have some ideas with the realms that i've not seen done in the space in the same way for a survival game. closest i can guess is very light shades of both icarus and don't starve in there. hope it cleans up and is a solid game. considering the blizzard game got canned this is probably the biggest budget survival we'll see for some time

Best to ask that in the Snowrunner thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3922783 But none of the vehicle DLC is necessary, only if you want those specific trucks because you're a huge truck nerd or something. The seasonal poo poo with maps is worth it. The core game comes with a huge amount of content though IIRC. Easily like 60+ hours for me on the base maps and I haven't finished all of them.

All of the Season DLCs are worth it, each of them contains a whole new region full of missions between 2-4 maps and often some new trucks. They have varying levels of difficulty so you might check the Snowrunner thread for specific recommendations, but if you vibe with the base game you'll probably get all of them eventually. One exception is Season 7 which is universally recognized as dogshit - they tried to make it racing-themed and it was a massive miss. The truck DLCs you should only get if you really really want the specific truck, the base game + seasons have a shitton already. And better to finish the base regions first at least before buying DLC trucks because they most likely will trivialise the early game.

The only bad part about Snowrunner is you can't die so it's not a survival game.
