No Man's Sky is amazing, and well deseving of that number one spot. I have over 500 hours in the Switch port alone, plus more on other platforms, though I only play on Switch nowadays. I'm someone who enjoys both the relaxed exploration and survival aspects of the game. I actually have separate files for each. My main file is set to "normal" mode and used primarily for chill exploration. On it, I've completed all the story missions and now spend my time looking for a perfect Earth like planet, mining, doing Nexus missions, fully upgrading cool new ships, and just generally relaxing. My secondary file is where I'm doing an "Iron Man Challenge," which means all settings turned to the highest difficulty, permadeath enabled, forcing myself not to use the starter ship or anything in it, and not leaving the first system until I've completely maxed out my inventory slots. I won't lie - I died in under five minutes on my first Iron Man attempt - but am well into my second attempt and loving the added challenge for days when I crave that sort of thing. Tl;dr: No Man's Sky is a game that can be played any way the player wants to play it. It can be the coziest of cozy games with unlimited resources and zero damage taken, the hardest of survival games with the game auto-deleting your save file upon death, or literally anything in between those two extremes. It's the closest thing to a perfect game I've ever seen. And as my playtime shows, I'm completely hooked.
@@bensvault9149 I just finished tonight's several-hour-long NMS session, came here, and saw your comment. Here's hoping you enjoy the Switch port as much as I have!
I enjoyed sailing around in Windbound, had exciting times sailing down the rivers in The Flame & the Flood though, Darkwood gave me anxiety attacks that I couldn't progress much, if any. But the one I have enjoyed the most even when being anxious is Sunless Sea.
I struggled with Subnautica, found it quite heavy going in terms of time spent vs reward. No Mans Sky might have turned me on to survival games though...a real sense of discovery Plays great on Switch too
I don't play too many survival games but I do a few on this list. This War of Mine is good but very dark. I also have Darkwood, The Flame and the Flood and Smoke and Sacrifice. One I really enjoyed that's not on this list is Dragon Quest Builders 2.
Excellent list, thank you! Some I have, some I have heard of, and some I haven’t even heard of before! Awesome. Survival games are pretty cool. Especially the easier ones or when you can lower down the difficulty. I especially like how some of them allow you to really tweak the game to how you want it. Subnautica, for example, was really impressive because you can turn off the oxygen meter, the health meter, hell you could even just turn off story and it’s not a different mode or anything it’s just that all of the story markers and story just disappears lol. More games should do that. imagine full customization.
Play Outlast with dlc then Outlast 2. I beat Outlast 1 then went to Outlast 2 then went back to the dlc on Outlast one. I play on the difficulty before nightmare
The flame in the flood & Don’t Starve gave been languishing in my backlog for a minute now 😂 I gotta get into them but I fear I’m also adding Smoke & sacrifice to Astroneer to the backlog too 🤦🏽♀️
Thanks J, I'm working on a few interviews currently so hopefully something will come up but I'm going back to England this week to visit family! Making the most of the time away!
My top survival are No Man Sky, Ark, Green Hell, This War Of Mine and the one that introduced me to the genera the Subnautica franchise wich will always be my number one for showing me the amazing world of survival
definitely a little biased cuz I bought a switch to play the Long Dark (after my laptop fell out of spec after an update), flame and the flood worked for a while but the loop lost novelty, green hell I come back to every now and again (but havent made it too far) survivalists was worth a decent 20 hours of plinking for me. Bought this war of mine on sale a while back, maybe I'll dig into it. Thanks for the video
13:25 One common misconception about No Man's Sky is that the universe within is "infinite and procedurally generated." In reality, it's not infinite - all the planets that will ever exist in the game have already been pre-determined. Granted, that number is so incredibly high it would take more than one lifetime to discover them all even if every human on the planet did nothing but play this game 24/7... but still, it's not truly infinite. It's also not pure procedural generation. There are videos where Sean Murray explains how he did it far better than I ever could, but it has to do with math equations and setting parameters within certain designs the creators themselves made, and then utilizing these mathematical equations to ensure the planet is generated the same exact way every time someone visits it. I know it's a bit nitpicky to point this out, but at least for me, just knowing that there are a limited number of planets out there - that they are indeed "out there," already pre-determined, just waiting to be discovered, makes the game far more enjoyable than if each planet were just procedurally generated as needed for each player. Also, knowing that somewhere down the line somebody might stumble upon a planet I discovered and see the cool new animal I gave a rather punny name to is a cool feeling, just as I enjoy the occasions when I stumble across other people's discoveries. These differences probably don't matter to a lot of players, but it definitely gives the game a different feel for me, so I figured I'd mention it just in case others might gain added enjoyment from this info as well. Great list!
Darkwood, The Long Dark, and This War of Mine rounds out my top 3. Green Hell is close, but it is better on other consoles. I avoided including all the survival horror and zombie games, felt they belonged in a different list.
The only ones I own right now is don't starve and this war of mine. I've been meaning to get one of the first person ones but just never got around to it.
I think Green Hell is a bit too high on the list considering its an incomplete mess that has been abandoned by the creators on switch and the publishers are radio silent. Its had one update and that was to add bananas! still missing all dlc and basic base game elements, Its basically the new Ark on switch (before its redemption). I could not advise you to avoid this on switch any more!
Survivalist was fun I put like 10 hours in it till I lost interested, I think some other games came out. But u saying it has an end game. I may revisit it soon
Windbound is great, I can't reccomend green hell because the controls are so clunky. I've yet to try ark I have it and my daughter plays but I've not got space on my memory card at the minute lol.
I love Green hell on the PC and so I thought I get it on the switch head it may not look as good but it's still good only downfall is that the people whom creepy jar gave it to, to put on the switch have not updated the game since it's came out and it is way far behind then the PC, we don't even have leaders yet that's how far behind we are, Now I don't know if creepy jar have been giving them things to update and they have just not been doing it or this is all we are meant to get on the switch no ones really answered when I have asked about it. so yeah if you want the new tree houses and spirits of Amazonia don't get the switch game because I feel like it won't be getting any of the new updates, but if you are happy with just the base game go right ahead it is still fun to play. I would say I like half my money back (as i do like the game it just a let down on what we really get) as I paid about £25 for the Switch game, when the PC is only £20 and has way more but it been years now so no point lol,
I was thinking the same thing too but possibly was not considered for this list because I don't think you'd call it completely open world. It's all open thru the space station I know, but that's it really. It's one of my favorite games ever.

Haven't played No Man's Sky on Switch (yet) but it's one of my favourite games, the developers deserve so much respect.
I agree with you dude, Amazing game. If you Love the game and enjoy hand-held Switch play you will not be disappointed!

Wow, that's interesting!
You literally just made my mind up, I played it on ps4 more recent Xbox one X and now will definitely pick up the switch port :D

@@nicked_fenyx thank you mate, :D

No Mans Sky might have turned me on to survival games though...a real sense of discovery
Plays great on Switch too
plays awfully on switch😭
I don't play too many survival games but I do a few on this list. This War of Mine is good but very dark. I also have Darkwood, The Flame and the Flood and Smoke and Sacrifice. One I really enjoyed that's not on this list is Dragon Quest Builders 2.
I just started no man's sky a few days ago, Im having a lot of fun getting lost if anyone finds my ship let me know....bring some fuel over too
Excellent list, thank you! Some I have, some I have heard of, and some I haven’t even heard of before! Awesome. Survival games are pretty cool.

I thought Green Hell was absolutely brilliant. Definitely the most realistic one. I didn't expect the story mode to be so good too!
I only had one on this list…. But you made me add a few to my wishlist. And I think I’ll be picking up Subnautica soon. I keep coming back to it. 🤔
The Long Dark is one of my favourite games. The story and realistic setting works for me.
nice. flame in the flood wishlisted! i need that fallout dog to accompany me
Great list Alex! Mine are 1. Don’t Starve 2. Subnautica 3. Green Hell 4. Terraria and 5. Long Dark. I do want to give Ark a try =]
How is green hell in 2023
No Man's Sky and Subnautica are my most favorite survival games.
I struggle to find a survival game that can even hold a flame to The Long Dark
I seriously cannot wait for the new DLC to get released on switch! 🇨🇦
Play Outlast with dlc then Outlast 2. I beat Outlast 1 then went to Outlast 2 then went back to the dlc on Outlast one. I play on the difficulty before nightmare
The flame in the flood & Don’t Starve gave been languishing in my backlog for a minute now 😂 I gotta get into them but I fear I’m also adding Smoke & sacrifice to Astroneer to the backlog too 🤦🏽♀️
Holy crap I forgot to buy Windbound when it was 90% off!
HAHAHAHAHAH...
Hello, friend! Have you been able to find employment yet? Been thinking about ya and the channel. Yet again, another great video!
Thanks J, I'm working on a few interviews currently so hopefully something will come up but I'm going back to England this week to visit family! Making the most of the time away!
Keep the lists coming; these are great!
This was filler for being away but I’m planning on a list every Sunday when I return
@@SwitchCornerEnjoy your break
My top survival are No Man Sky, Ark, Green Hell, This War Of Mine and the one that introduced me to the genera the Subnautica franchise wich will always be my number one for showing me the amazing world of survival
My top picks would be Minecraft and The Flame in the Flood. Don't Starve would probably be my next choice from this list.
Green hell is a really fun game. Its such a shame that it doesn't seem like its ever going to be updated on switch
definitely a little biased cuz I bought a switch to play the Long Dark (after my laptop fell out of spec after an update), flame and the flood worked for a while but the loop lost novelty, green hell I come back to every now and again (but havent made it too far) survivalists was worth a decent 20 hours of plinking for me.

awesome gameplay guys and full support..
Haven’t really played much of this genre outside of Minecraft, but it’s definitely a great game.
Love these games. NMS is just amazing and is a must-own. It’s soooooo cheap for hundreds of hours of gameplay..
Thanks for the time stamps
Hmmm. Maybe is should get No Man's Sky someday.
Darkwood, The Long Dark, and This War of Mine rounds out my top 3. Green Hell is close, but it is better on other consoles. I avoided including all the survival horror and zombie games, felt they belonged in a different list.
This is a great list! Gonna have to check some out!
Green hell is 90% off so it’s 2.40 in stead of 27.99
The only ones I own right now is don't starve and this war of mine. I've been meaning to get one of the first person ones but just never got around to it.
Not played any of these but there is a few I will have to try out
Darkwood is brutally underrated...
Anyone know. Do these all work on switch lite?
Terraria is easily top 5. Would love to see rust on the switch one day
Grounded 😊
I have this war of mine from when it was on sale because you mentioned it on the switch corner, best game I have on the switch.
I think Green Hell is a bit too high on the list considering its an incomplete mess that has been abandoned by the creators on switch and the publishers are radio silent. Its had one update and that was to add bananas! still missing all dlc and basic base game elements, Its basically the new Ark on switch (before its redemption). I could not advise you to avoid this on switch any more!
One of my favorite genres, will eventually get No Man Sky
Survivalist was fun I put like 10 hours in it till I lost interested, I think some other games came out. But u saying it has an end game. I may revisit it soon
Props for shouting out This War of Mine
Has anyone played Starsand? Looks okay as a first person survival like Subnautica and Breathedge.
My personal favorite is subnautica
Darkwood is one of those which looks great thematically, but I'm not into survival and rouglikes so I keep skipping it.
No Stranded Deep??
I wish I could play no man’s sky, but you c add my invert both axis so sadly it’s a no go for me
Windbound is great, I can't reccomend green hell because the controls are so clunky. I've yet to try ark I have it and my daughter plays but I've not got space on my memory card at the minute lol.
Please give me more filters on the e-shop. I would love if the e-shop had an option to not show games you own
I love Green hell on the PC and so I thought I get it on the switch head it may not look as good but it's still good only downfall is that the people whom creepy jar gave it to, to put on the switch have not updated the game since it's came out and it is way far behind then the PC, we don't even have leaders yet that's how far behind we are, Now I don't know if creepy jar have been giving them things to update and they have just not been doing it or this is all we are meant to get on the switch no ones really answered when I have asked about it.
so yeah if you want the new tree houses and spirits of Amazonia don't get the switch game because I feel like it won't be getting any of the new updates, but if you are happy with just the base game go right ahead it is still fun to play.
I would say I like half my money back (as i do like the game it just a let down on what we really get) as I paid about £25 for the Switch game, when the PC is only £20 and has way more but it been years now so no point lol,
I think you should have mentioned Rain World
Can't decide between astroneer or no man's sky...
bro where are you from
Birmingham, UK but I lived in London for 7 years, NY for 1 year, Phoenix, AZ for 6 years and now I'm in Los Angeles
Alien isolation
I was thinking the same thing too but possibly was not considered for this list because I don't think you'd call it completely open world. It's all open thru the space station I know, but that's it really. It's one of my favorite games ever.
Bought darkwood in a previous sale, wanted to enjoy it but it’s such a b’stard of a game!
Not a genre of game I have ever played. Probably because my kids try to force me to play Minecraft
Thank you for not including minecraft, never liked that game.
Ill assume this is a joke
I think he’s joking
I don’t really like Minecraft
Block game 🤮
Same
Atmosphereeeeeeeee. Corridooooooooor. Speak like a normal human being please
No man's sky visuals are horrible and it runs like hell on switch
