Survival PC Games | Stay Alive and Build, Ranked by Rating

Survival play is defined by what runs out. In some, hunger and body heat drain by the minute and force choices; in others, little runs out and building takes over. The first is hardest at the start, the second most fun at the start. The other split is whether it is built for one player or for friends; co-op-first games turn monotonous alone, and reviews show it. The list surfaces steady ratings with fewer reviews. Aliens After Ava and Potato Survival, for example, hold a steady rating with fewer than 500 reviews.

4,390 titles match. 556 of them hold a steady rating on 10–500 reviews, 1,152 support Japanese, and 536 are free.

2,212 titles (10–500 reviews, by rating)

Sorted by Wilson score, a rating estimate that accounts for review count. Titles with few reviews are discounted, so '100% on 1 review' never tops the list, while a genuine 90% on 40 reviews rises properly.
