Survival

Survival games make the player feel vulnerable through atmosphere, low health, slow movement speed and/or limited supplies. Ammunition, health, and resources are scarce and must be collected and rationed or combined to create new items. You are challenged to find items, explore, solve puzzles, build and react to unexpected encounters from enemies. Chopping wood to build a home and fishing to obtain food are common elements of the genre.

Sub-genres
	Sandbox	The player can alter the landscape by not only building upwards, but downwards or through mountains. They are free to shape the landscape rather than build around it.	Example: Minecraft 7 Days to Die
	Horror	Focuses on survival of the player character as the game tries to frighten players with either horror graphics or scary ambience. Although combat can be part of the gameplay, the player is made to feel less in control than in typical action games.	Example: 7 Days to Die
	Wilderness	Set in wild areas, where the player is meant to feel isolated and cut off from civilization. There are either very primitive people or none at all.	Example: The Forest Subnautica
	Space	Set in space, amongst alien lifeforms.	Example: No Man's Sky Subnautica
	Prehistoric	Set before recorded history.	Example: ARK: Survival Evolved
