Don't Starve vs Grim Soul
Don't Starve
Don't Starve is a pretty dreary and dark survival game set in a rich world filled with plenty of animals/game to hunt, monsters to kill, and resources to gather. With a gothic-like theme, the game's best feature is perhaps the way it hands the reins to its players and let these players decide what sort of survival game they'd want to play and how difficult will the game be. You can literally customize everything in the world you'll be playing in, ranging from the weather, how frequent lightning strikes, how long a season lasts, how much resources are spawned and many more.The game also has a very nice selection of characters that you can gradually unlock as you play the game. Each character will even have their own specialty that you can then make use of when the situation calls for it.
Don't Starve is a survival game that's as punishing as it is vicious. Expect to die a lot in the game and turn all those deaths into useful lessons that you can then build upon. If you fancy surviving with your friends in tow, then you might want to get the multiplayer version of the game, Don't Starve Together, instead.
Grim Soul
Grim Soul is a fantasy-based, survival RPG by Kefir! which pretty much follows the similar formula they've used in their insanely popular game, Last Day on Earth: Survival albeit with a more medieval theme.In this game, you'll get to build your own castle and defend against the plagued zombie knights and lost souls. Players can explore new castles for resources crucial for survival. These resources can be used to craft invaluable items that include workbenches, medieval weapons, and strong armory to defend against the wandering souls. You also get to manage your own castle by defending it through indigenous traps and strong defense systems. Moreover, the game includes war horses to ride, dangerous animals to hunt and resources to acquire in an open world environment. Players can also form clans to help survive a bit longer in the wild.
If you have a knack for survival games, Grim Soul is definitely one of the best MMORPGs out there with unique crafting features.
