![]() ![]() The Forest takes the basic premise of a show like Lost, where you’re a survivor of a plane crash on a mysterious island with way more going on than meets the eye, but somehow makes it even more harsh. These are the few places you can really feel safe and relaxed, and they’re completely your own creation. That makes the bases you build all the more meaningful. It’s great to be able to stay underwater longer, but that means you’ll need to dive down into that underwater cave with who knows what inside, or if you’ll be able to get back to the surface before you eventually do run out of air. As you get more powerful, which really just means more capable and able to explore further, you are also forced to start exploring areas you may not want to. The power curve in this game is really quite refreshing. Because this is an alien world, we can’t even try to rationalize with ourselves, either, because there very well could be a giant monster down there for all we know. Not only is the setting of a planet that is effectively one giant ocean unique to … well … just about any game, but also perfectly tickles that uncomfortable part of our brains that is afraid of what might be lurking below the surface of the water. That’s part of what makes Subnautica: Below Zero such a fantastic survival game. Yeah, hunger, thirst, and other meters ticking down can stress you out, but ultimately it’s the environment you’re trying to survive in, or the things trying to kill you, that make it an actually frightening experience. If there’s one thing survival games should do, it’s to make you actually afraid. To help you uncover the one you’ll like most, we rounded up all the best survival games for the PS5. Between all the different settings, systems, perspectives, and more, survival games can vary greatly within their own genre. Thanks to backward compatibility, though, the amount of high-quality titles in this genre available on PS5 is at an all-time high. Some come from much smaller teams, while others only come to consoles long after being released, or in early access, on other platforms. The PS5 has plenty of high-profile games, with plenty more on the way from their major studios and third parties, but survival games don’t always get the same level of exposure as they deserve.
