Since the appearance of Palworld at the beginning of this year, the trend of playing open world survival games is gradually becoming hot again, and creating a fever in the world gaming industry. However, few people know that, before Palworld launched, there were countless games of the same genre and of such extremely high quality that they received very high scores on Steam. For example, the names below.
ARK: Survival Evolved
It wouldn't be wrong to say that Palworld learns and references a lot from ARK: Survival Evolved. In the game, gamers will be trapped on an island called ARK and therefore, they must use all their wisdom and resources to survive. Start with simple actions like harvesting resources, hunting, crafting items, and learning recipes.
ARK: Survival Evolved also has more than a hundred creatures to collect, ride around and breed similar to Palworld. However, the boss system of ARK: Survival Evolved is still rated higher than the emerging blockbuster in 2024.
Craftopia
Palworld is so famous that few people know that Pocketpair also has another attractive and equally quality product in the same category. It's called Craftopia and also received a rating of 79% on Steam. Although still in early access, an update last March was enough to make Craftopia fans happy.
The feature of capturing creatures is also available in Craftopia like Palworld. However, instead of forcing their creatures to fight, gamers will go into battle themselves. With over 100 skills to customize, there's a lot for gamers to explore in Craftopia.
Conan Exile
It has been around for a long time, but up to now, Conan Exile is still known as one of the best open world survival games. Go it alone, build a small fortress and eventually rule the entire land or team up with others to create a giant town, there are many options for gamers to experience in Conan Exile .
Conan Exiles offers many interesting combat options and there are regular updates available for players. This game received a rating of 78% on Steam.
