No Man's Sky

Sandbox with your own goals

A near-infinite procedurally generated universe where you hop freely between vivid alien planets, gather resources, build bases and upgrade your ships. Years of free updates have turned it into a relaxed sci-fi sandbox with optional co-op.

FarSky

Resources and survival

As Nathan, stranded after a submarine crash, you survive in the ocean depths by gathering resources, building a base to refill oxygen, crafting gear, and feeding yourself through farming and fishing.

The Long Dark

Lots to discover

A lonely, unforgiving survival experience in the frozen Canadian wilderness after a geomagnetic disaster, where cold, hunger and wolves are your real enemies. Its painterly visuals and quiet atmosphere turn every trek into a tense, often melancholic journey.

Planet Crafter

Sandbox with your own goals

You terraform a hostile planet by gathering resources, building bases and machines, and watching a barren wasteland slowly gain atmosphere, water and life. The blend of calm survival and visible, large-scale progress is what makes it special.

Dredge

Lots to discover

An atmospheric fishing adventure where you haul catches and upgrade your trawler by day while Lovecraftian dread creeps in with the night fog. Inventory-packing puzzles and eerie island stories give it a unique hook.

Project: Mist

Resources and survival

An open-world survival horror set on an enigmatic island, where you build a base, craft traps and siege weapons, and fight colossal monsters with an upgradable gravity gun. The mystery of the giant wall drives your exploration.

Death Stranding

Lavish presentation

Hideo Kojima's singular courier odyssey turns traversal itself into the game: balancing cargo, planning routes across haunting terrain, and building roads and bridges with unseen fellow players. It wraps this in a surreal, melancholic story about death and human connection.

The Forest

Resources and survival

After a plane crash you build shelters and traps in a dense forest while tribes of cannibals stalk and attack you. Creepy mutant-filled caves and the mystery of your missing son drive the exploration, and it's best played with friends in co-op.

Breathedge

Resources and survival

A comedic space survival adventure: after a ship crash you craft gear, explore wreckage and uncover a mystery alongside an immortal chicken. Absurd dialogue and sci-fi parodies give it its charm.
