10 Incredible Video Games The Industry Will NEVER Do (And Why)

Survival is one of the most over-saturated genres in the video game industry, ever since Minecraft came out over a decade ago. Yet, nothing really feels realistic. Plenty of games offer a full, air tight experience, such as that of Terraria, a slight copy of Minecraft.

However, the whole survival crafting exploration idea has been attempted by everyone and their mother, with even the biggest developers jumping on the bandwagon.

Games like Tomb Raider and Metal Gear Solid have also had survival elements stuck on the side for whatever reason. So, where’s the actual, realistic survival game?

Day Z is about as close as we ever got and that is now a rotting zombie carcass. The Forest isn’t dead but it’s not exactly what I’m thinking. All these games are either unfinished, unpolished, shallow or for some reason, add some antagonistic monsters into the mix.

Hunger, thirst, sleep, warmth, there’s your fundamentals. I suppose you’d need some kind of abandoned or wasteland environment but why does that have to imply monsters, is my question.

Hunting could be another key feature, as well as, of course, crafting your supplies and cooking your food. Why will a true, simplistic survival experience never get made? Because the masses would get bored of it if there was nothing to kill except deer and bears.
