10. Hurtworld

Hurtworld Gameplay

Hurtworld sets you off in their open world environment that reflects similarly to the australian outbacks...but with yetis running around once and awhile. Your placed in this environment with no clothes, no weapons and a hunger you must solve before you die. Like most survival games, you set off on your adventure gathering sticks and rocks, leveling yourself all the way up to finding shotguns and crafting cars to race. The graphics I find the most appealing about this game are smooth and rendered nicely with a hint of firewatch style graphics. But watch out for those pesky online players, for Hurtworld is no warm welcome new players in the servers.


The environment you’re thrown into is a grassy, warm environment, but don’t let that fool you...it gets quite cold during the night.
