Realism is thrilling, but you don’t want something that’s too punishing, or close to inaccessible. On the contrary, if you’ve got the appetite for a rugged outdoor sim, you don’t want light or simplified crafting mechanics – everything should feel hard earned. The Forest and its even-more-gruesome sequel are both brutal survival games. Rust, likewise, has some particularly nasty combat and wounding mechanics. But a new competitor, created by a single developer, pushes realism even further with especially layered building and farming systems. If you want enjoyable co-op fun combined with punishing survivalism, The Last Plague: Blight might just be for you, and it’s available to try right now.
