[겜ㅊㅊ] If you don’t know, you must die! 5 Survival Games That Make Newbies Stronger


※ [겜ㅊㅊ]is a corner that recommends games that gamers can enjoy according to a special theme every week.

There is a saying, “If you don’t know, you must be right!” This word from the Tekken match commentary meant that if you didn’t know how to break a combo, you would have no choice but to get hit as it is. Perhaps the most popular saying was “If you don’t know, you must die!” This word, which used to describe soul-like in the past, has recently shifted to a survival game with extreme freedom.

How on earth did the phrase ‘death is natural’ come out, comparable to Soullike? today’s [겜ㅊㅊ]We would like to introduce only survival games that throw users barefoot in the wild itself, where they have no choice but to die if they don’t know. Of course, there is no such thing as a tutorial or explanation, and even if there is, it’s a harsh game that only has one control image.

1. Rust

The first wild game we recommend is Rust. Hunger, thirst, cold, hunting, and survival are myriad elements. It is a multiplayer survival game in which the player must learn by himself. It is also a very rewarding game when you start by picking up rags from among the survivors who are obsessed with farming without telling them anything right from the start, and go up to the stage of building your own hideout and clearing out intruders.

However, it is not easy to put your heart into the game as ‘survival by any means’ is the main content of the game. It takes a lot of time to get to that level, and in the beginning, it’s hard to put your mind to the game as you often get looted before you even enjoy it. However, it is said that the moment when memories are piled up one by one through trial and error like this, it is said that there are many cases where the play time exceeds three digits.

2. Kenshi

The second recommended game is Kenshi, an open world RPG developed by British indie game developer Lofi Games. It is well known as a harsh and maniac game that throws the user into the barren wasteland as soon as the character’s background and customization are finished. The game is densely packed with rules of its own that are dense and justified, but it is a structure that no one can learn properly, so users inevitably progress through the game by being hit, being beaten, and overcoming the crisis of death.

In fact, Kenshi’s unique spiciness has already been introduced several times in Game Mecca, but since then, several updates and modes have been added so that users can enjoy their own creative play. However, with the development of Kenshi 2, it is regrettable that the number of official major updates has decreased.

3. Space Engineers

If you like survival in space, space opera, or mechanical assembly with a high degree of freedom, you might want to try space engineer. After the release of Early Access, there was no tutorial for a while, so it was evaluated as being wild itself. Unlike other games, the elements that hinder life are usually a little more focused on environmental factors such as oxygen and temperature than injuries, as it is set in space and is active in a suit.

Space Engineers throws players into the wild like previous games, but fortunately it comes with a variety of gadgets and disintegrators to help you adapt. However, if there is good luck, there is also unhappiness, and all the devices and tools that can be encountered in the game must start from mining the minerals themselves. Still, I think that PK is not as active as in the previous games, and that if you have some scientific knowledge, you can adapt to the system quickly.

4. Days

How about Days, a zombie apocalypse survival genre that takes place in the vast independent country of Chernarus, which boasts a size of 230 square kilometers. It was quite notorious for various bugs and problems, but recently, user reviews have been rising to ‘very positive’, showing that the situation has improved considerably. Of course, there are still barriers to entry due to unkind explanations and wide fields.

Days has an environment that makes you think it is harsh rather than unkind, so I think there will be more situations in which you suffer than in previous games. The threat of zombies is added to the situation where no one helps, the cold, and the hostile survivors. On top of that, even with a slight injury or infection, you will see a screen with low saturation before you know it, and you’ll think, “I have to go this far to live.” If you want to overcome an environment that is close to unreasonable, it would be nice to try it at least once.

5. My Summer Car

The last game I would like to introduce is My Summer Car, which makes you want to know why it is here. Although the genre is a driving simulation, in reality, it is a survival game close to a sunfish simulation where you die if you do not properly manage your urine, hunger, thirst, dirt, blood alcohol level, and money. Unlike the genre presented, it is a level that requires management of abnormal conditions and careful manipulation similar to the survival games described above. The empty end of dying from hunger, thirst, bladder burst, drinking alcohol and swimming is common.

Here, the crafting element with a high degree of freedom, the fact that thorough preparation is required to try something, and the fact that you are thrown into the game without even a tutorial or even a control guide, just looking at these things, this week [겜ㅊㅊ]This game fully meets the requirements of Since the purpose of the game is to succeed in ‘driving’ beyond ‘survival’, I think the perceived difficulty will be even higher. If you want to limit your patience, you might want to pay attention to it.
