"Only the dead have seen the end of war." - Plato

I'm looking for a good survival game, where you have to survive out in the wilderness or something by collecting food, hunting wildlife, constructing a shelter, etc. So not a survival horror game like Dead Space, Amnesia, etc. And not Minecraft - I've played that game plenty.

Any ideas? If it's a good indie game I'm cool with that too.

EDIT: I've played DayZ as well. Thank you for the suggestion though!

EDIT 2: Sorry, I've played Fallout: New Vegas on hardcore as well. I've also played Skyrim with mods to enhance the survival aspect.

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

I didn't enjoy DayZ, but I know a lot of people did, and I don't see that in your list. I suppose it's worth a shot.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

Don't starve is like that, it as an...interesting art style though. I suggest you check it out however it has all that you are looking for.

I got my Recon for the '08 VDay tournament for second most kills; 2671.

I didn't "earn" it via VidMasters.

DayZ(the full game that's not out yet, not the mod) is probably as close as you can get to a good wilderness survival game.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

The people saying DayZ is actual survival are forgetting that it's just CoD Deathmatch with weapon spawns, zombies and a huge map.

This is true. It's why Day Z is the most boring game ever. It's like the second season of Walking Dead, too much filling not enough killing

Fallout New Vegas on Hardcore mode is probably as close as you'll get to a wilderness survival game actually. They have sleep, food, thirst meters, everything has a carrying weight to it, etc
