Hurtworld

Hurtworld presents itself as harsh survival, where the world does not forgive carelessness. Cold, hunger, and hostile creatures never go away, even when the basic needs are covered.

The farther you move from the starting areas, the more dangerous the environment becomes. In return, you can find resources and technologies there that are missing in the safe areas.

Hurtworld is a multiplayer survival shooter. The main idea is that meeting basic needs does not make the game easy: a campfire to keep from freezing, running from hostile creatures, and searching for resources stay part of the experience all the way through. A familiar feeling: you have finally settled into this world, and then what? The game's answer is to leave your comfort zone. For valuable loot, technologies, and vehicle parts, you have to go deep into the map, where more dangerous creatures, a harsh environment, and new difficulties wait. They call for suitable gear and skills. You can get by with a campfire, a bow, and arrows, or you can take a risk for powerful weapons and vehicles. The game is built for fast PvP and PvE. You constantly have to weigh what is more dangerous: the player in front of you or the creatures that will hear a gunshot. Because of this, every clash turns into a risk assessment task, not just a firefight. The game is designed for several players, has co-op, and can be played across different systems; there is Remote Play on a tablet and Family Sharing. The interface is translated into Russian and many other languages. The developer and publisher is Bankroll Studios. The game left early access on December 10, 2019. The online population is small right now: dozens of people play at the same time, and the last update came out in March 2023. The game is online only, so before buying it is worth checking whether live servers are available. Suited to those who like survival with an emphasis on encounters with other people, not only on crafting and building. If you prefer a calm solo game, the format may feel too harsh: you constantly need to stay alert.
