It's been a big year for survival games, from the early highs of Palworld to the likes of Once Human, Soulmask, Enshrouded, and Nightingale all contending with established favorites such as Rust, Valheim, and Ark. The latest contender on the scene, The Forever Winter, blends that desperate struggle to stay alive with a co-op extraction shooter format inspired by games like Escape From Tarkov and Gray Zone Warfare, and it's just arrived in early access on Steam. While initial impressions of its world and setting are strong, early issues have caused reviews to struggle - but a promising player count means it has plenty of room to grow.
