    The Survivalists on Xbox One is a very enjoyable experience. Its gameplay feels a bit like Don’t Starve, and its monkey system a bit like Factorio. But above all else, its charm and general aesthetic is all its own.

    The Survivalists is a good survival game with the essence of The Escapists. The exploration and coop works so well, but the crafting system is awkward.

The more you do, the more your character learns how to do.Gather resources and craft better tools and protection to explore further. The more you explore the better materials you can find, so on. There are also structures that spawn randomly for you to explore to find even better materials and gear. You can also befriend the local monkeys and they can be convinced to help you complete some of your tasks.

You can also bring up to 3 friends to join you, The more hands the more you can get done, but the more mouths to feed too! The Islands have just as many dangers as wonders and will always keep you on your toes. Team17 have created a relaxing and fun survival game with a great atmosphere. Fans of Survival Sandbox games will be delighted with this game, and should find countless hours of entertainment.… Full Review »
