According to Curtis Pyke, Dysmantle is "an almost cheerful, or as the game description says bittersweet, apocalypse wrapped into a light RPG with crafting, farming, fishing, slaying monsters, collecting tons of things, pretty much destroying everything you come across and generally being a bigger threat to the world and environment than the monsters".
Want a reminder of just how tough living is sometimes? The best PS5 survival games could be what you're after.
I'm surprised The Long Dark wasn't listed. I've heard good things about it. Anyone play it?
yep long dark is really good when it works - two problems i had with it, one of the trophies was really glitchy (the explore all areas one), and playing survival mode my save corrupted over 200 days in, so lost all progress......stopped playing after that
Terrible list. Why? They put "Below Zero" on there ABOVE the original. The original Subnautica is LEAGUES better than Below Zero. In-fact, it's one of my favorite games of all time. Below Zero didn't sell well because most of us die-hard fans know it's not as good.
"2022 started with a bang thanks to a month full of excellent indie games and with that in mind, here are the best in 12 categories." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
As you ascend from your shelter after the long long years, a brave new old world awaits you. A world inhabited with nasty and vile creatures. A world with no other human soul to be seen. A world with nature in reigns now. A world that's about to get even worse.
You need to find a way to escape the wretched island. But before that, enjoy the bittersweet apocalypse.
Great game!
