Is it a good game? No, but it’s definitively a good time. Having said all of that, I would highly encourage anyone who likes survival games to give it a try. And the microtransactions get hard to ignore, especially in the endgame. The servers are like the Wild West, it’s every man for himself.

I’m not sure if I’d say that it’s an example of ‘so bad it’s good’ but rather many properly executed mechanics and brilliants ideas mixed with not so properly executed ones. Stay Out walks a fine line between a bad game and a diamond in the rough, balancing the best and worst of what gaming has to offer. Now, you may wonder why it’s on this list and why would I recommend it? Well, somehow, this game has managed to capture most people who have tried it, including me. Stay Out is a bit of a buggy mess, not exactly optimized and riddled with microtransactions that are only there to tempt players to advance faster. Does it live up to that statement? Yes, but no. Stay Out is an MMORPG shooter that advertises itself as a Stalker Online. The Devil Haunts Me is a neat little game that’s worth checking out. Many opt to simply have you survive for as long as you can with little to no regard for the actual world you inhabit. The story unravels as you let your curiosity get the best of you, making the mystery all the more engaging. A decaying animal corpse here, a creepy note there, and you begin to fear that someone, or some thing, is stalking you. Here, the more you explore, hunt, chop down trees and collect water, the more you start realizing that not everything is as it seems. This free survival game from Steam throws you into its creepy world without much explanation, only a gun, an ax, and a bucket.

The tools available to you in the beginning are just enough to get you going. A top-down pixelated survival with horror elements, The Devil Haunts Me has you start out in a cabin, managing resources, and energy to survive in the wilderness.
