It’s a wild world out there at the moment – grocery shopping has become a lawless pursuit of multipacks of toilet roll and pasta, and even stepping outside your door is an exercise in caution.

The. The.: the best machines for your survival fixThe best survival games(Image credit: Steam)Don’t Starve(PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android)From it’s lovely Tim Burton-esque art style to its deep and engrossing crafting system, Don’t Starve is like a nightmare as conducted by Roald Dahl.

Exploring its creepy world is never jump-out-of-your-seat frightening, but you’ll be terrified if you lose all your progress being killed by a marauding spider thing. If you’re stuck indoors, consider picking up the Don’t Starve Together add-on too, which introduces four player co-operative play into the mix.(Image credit: Steam)No Man’s Sky(PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch)There’s a part of us that feels that, after the release and subsequent polishing of No Man’s Sky, all other games should just go home. What’s the point in playing something else when No Man’s Sky offers an entire universe for you to explore? A phenomenal technical achievement, and sci-fi nerds dream, it’s also a great survival sim, as you’ve got to collect resources, craft new gear, upgrade ships and defend against a menagerie of environmental hazards and intergalactic nasties.(Image credit: Steam)Ark: Survival Evolved(PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android)There’s never really been a good Jurassic Park game, and while it’s not officially licensed, Ark: Survival Evolved might be as good as we’ll get.

Waking up on a deserted beach with just your wits and a loincloth, it’s up to you to find shelter, craft tools and weaponry and forge alliances with fellow players on an island teeming with giant aggressive dinosaur inhabitants. It’s a bit rough around the edges, and very unforgiving for newcomers, but getting to the point where you’ve tamed your own ferocious T-Rex still takes some beating.(Image credit: Steam)Conan Exiles(PC, PS4, Xbox One)You know what survival games need even more of?

And this time, with a dong-size slider in the character creation screen. Yep – build-your-own dong.

And that’s before the game has even properly started. Obviously not one for the kids then, but this barbarian-themed survival game does Arnie proud with brutal combat, lush environments to explore and giant settlements to create. And massive dongs.(Image credit: Microsoft/Mojang)Minecraft(PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android)Perhaps the most famous survival game of them all – although for many that side of Minecraft has slid into obscurity. While many now dive into the friendly build modes, at the heart of Minecraft remains an engrossing survival adventure, seeing you collect resources, build a shelter, and heading into the heart of the Earth to take on the increasingly aggressive inhabitants while hunting for rare treasures.(Image credit: Steam)Subnautica(PC, PS4, Xbox One)Taking the survival genre from terra firma to 20,000 leagues under the sea, Subnautica mixes sci-fi scares with underwater thrills. It’s one of the most polished survival games out there, with a unique world to explore and a great loop of resource gathering, enemy battling and base improvements.(Image credit: Steam)DayZ(PC, PS4, Xbox One)The survival daddy in many respects, DayZ started life as a mod before blowing up in such a huge way that it became its own game.

A toughie, and most enjoyable with a gang of pals.(Image credit: Steam)Terraria(PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android)Like a 16-bit Minecraft, the pixel-art Terraria is one of the most popular survival games out there. Colorful and vast, Terraria lets you take on lots of monstrous foes, digging deep into endless caverns before returning to your home to construct gigantic bases to hone your skills in. It’s a great game, with a cutesy art style that belies its complexity.(Image credit: Steam)Starbound(PC)Starbound has a very similar artstyle – and playstyle – to Terraria, but takes the endeavour up to the outer reaches of space. It has the same side-scrolling open world exploration, but has a bit more of a quest system than some of the more free-form entries into this list.

A great one for Terraria fans.(Image credit: Respawn Entertainment)Honourable Mention: Battle Royale Games(Various)From Fortnite to Apex Legends, you could make a good argument for including the battle royale genre as a whole to this list of survival games.

As the old adage goes, an Englishman’s house is his castle. We’re inclusive sorts here, though, so we don’t see why this can’t apply to everyone of every nation, persuasion and place of residence.

Table of Contents.There are some who say that, other than space, the final frontier left for human exploration is beneath the ocean. One suspects the protagonist of Subnautica would agree; the game begins with the player character shipwrecked and forced to make a life for themselves under the ocean.

Unlike many survival titles, Subnautica actually has a plot, which helps players feel immersed and gives you a reason to keep going even when creatures conspire to end your journey.

With a wide range of skins available, Mojang’s game is still as young as you want it to be.

That’s the pitch that’s often applied to Terraria, and while there are nuggets of truth in the statement it’s not entirely fair.

You’ll collect resources from the world map and build your own bunker, awaiting assassinations from mean-spirited opponents.If none of the options on this list are quite brutal and hardcore enough for you, then Conan Exiles should satisfy.

As the title might suggest, this game takes place in the Conan the Barbarian universe, and casts players as a recently-exiled criminal who must navigate the harsh desert using only their wits and a selection of jimmied-together crafting tools. The base building aspects of Conan Exiles are made all the more exciting by the fact that the game features extensive PvP, so other players could come and raid your fort at any time.Zombie base building set in a post-apocalyptic world? Developers The Fun Pimps have crafted a surprisingly fully-featured zombie survival game in which players can build extensive bases, defend them from zombie hordes and interact with other players.

You can collect new personnel, build improvements to your base and take part in some relaxing downtime missions around your fort, so Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain still gets our vote as an excellent base builder. It’s worth it for the totally crazy story, anyway.We’re really going out on a limb with this last one - does a city building sim really count as a base building game?

We’re gonna say yes. Cities: Skylines allows you to craft a city entirely to your specifications, which means you can create an industrial wasteland or a verdant paradise completely depending on what you’re feeling that day. Cities: Skylines is an incredibly comprehensive city building sim, and its PS4 iteration is ridiculously intuitive and fun to play. Finally, city building comes to consoles!These are our favourite base building games on the PS4.
