Speaking of zombies, can somebody give me their opinion on Survivalist: Invisible Strand? Apparently you can hire people and turn it into a semi-RTS-and-colony-management thing, which is nice.

I'm getting the urge for a multiplayer FPS where you and some other players end up having to hold a position against dozens if not hundreds of enemies.

I already know about 7 days to die fyi.

I think Deep Rock Galactic does some of that, while also requiring you to collect as much loot as possible before you leave.

And left 4 dead, surely? 

Love left for dead but that's a lot more run-n-gun than fortify and mow down.

Same with Deep Rock Galactic. I want construction.

You're super right. If you find something like this please PM me

What are some neat "screensaver" games I can leave running in background while I work, occasionally check out what's going on when I'm on a break, and then go back to work? So far I'm doing with:

• Evolution games(Species ALRE, Boxcar2D, Critterding, etc.)
• Paradox games on observer mode(I love Vicky 2 but its too clunky to manipulate, CK2 is pretty interesting)
• Warband, joining a lord's army as freelancer(it kinda sucks though)

The more "god mode" features letting me influence the course of the game during my breaks the merrier.

If you're into tower defence then Sanctum and Sanctum 2 fit pretty well.

I play Factorio like that... if you play with recursive blueprints and a bot network, then that REALLY works out. Otherwise, it's stocking up on resources and advancing up the tech tree at a glacial pace.

A lot of colony-based games (a la DF) are interesting to see what happens too; of late, I've been picking up alleged 100% self-sufficient Oxygen Not Included bases to just watch the guys run around and do stuff (and see how other people approach problems), because, frankly, watching little guys survive hell and eating their own barely-processed waste (outhouse>polluted dirt>compost bin>dirt>FUD...circle of life!) is an improvement over what's going on outside lately.

I used to have a copy of that DCSS bot that pulled a 3-rune(?) win during a tournament somewhere, but I have no idea where it went... that was fun too.

I've been eyeballing Galimulator. Haven't played it, but what I looked up looks fun and plan on buying it next sale.

Are there any more physics-based vehicle building games like Kerbal Space Program? The only other one I can think of is Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, which is... that. And there's one for phones that's kinda like a 2D KSP but I'm not really interested.

Uncrewed is a physics based RTS where you attach parts together to make your units. Besiege might be your thing, too.

On steam: you can download "Streets of Kamurocho", a game based on the Yakuza series, for free until the 19th. It will be removed from Steam after that.

Any can recommend any games with combat where you aren't fighting hordes of mooks, combat is dangerous and you play by the same rules as AI?
I enjoy these games where you would try to actively avoid combat and any time you do it is when it's unavoidable or the reward is worth the risk.

The ones I've played are DF Adventure mode, Neo Scavenger and Unreal World.

[Akura]

I remember Kingdom Come: Deliverance having combat like that. As far as I can tell, enemies work with the same effective rules as you do, and you're rarely every fighting more than two - in fact, two against you is stacked pretty heavily against you. Combat isn't something you can effectively "do" until the part of the game where your character actually gets combat training and you manage to scrounge up some gear. The very first(albeit optional, as there's other ways to deal with him) fight in the game, a fistfight with the village drunk, he will wreck you. Later on though, fighting doesn't seem so daunting, but it's still risky.

Many situations do have non-combat solutions, but fighting can be worth the risk, since salvaging the dead guy's stuff can be pretty profitable.

Hey guys, I'm in dire need of good survival games right now, which is quite rare in my opinion. Preferably 3D, but I'll take anything.

Already played/looked at:
6+1 days to die
URW
Minecraft
Unturned
The Forest
Raft
Cataclysm and forks
The Long Dark
Ark
Rust

[King Zultan]

Neo Scavenger and UnReal World, but nether of those are 3D.

I don't agree with this entirely. Yeah, early on combat is hard, but your skills level up with use. You'll make most of your money selling crap you took off guys you kill, and once you've got decent armor you can take on whole bandit camps with some strategy.

The combat system is ridiculously unwieldy with multiple foes though. I wouldn't say its necessarily hard as much as frustrating.
It's not really risky though, unless you're going into areas outside of the story part you're on and try fighting really strong foes early on.

I'd say KC:D is a game that centers around combat. Where in unrealworld combat is a huge risk mainly due to the fact that there's no save/load, and it takes an extremely long time to heal. Plus, even with the best skills and armor, you could take an unlucky hit from a small child and die anyway. You never have to engage in combat in unreal world. It's a big part of the storyline in kingdom come:deliverance.

Well, Kenshi may or may not apply.  You gotta eat or you die, and if you don't know what you're doing, that can indeed be an issue.
But if you just hang out enough, something is gonna happen where you can grab the loot and survive, so long as you don't get beaten down and bleed out.
At least it's 3D!

EDIT: Although if you try and build a settlement, the game will literally throw everything it has at you.
