From here, you’re given directions to a keep where the Keepers have made an outpost, and left mostly to your own devices on getting there. With the help of one of the keepers you’re returned to flesh and blood, and enter the Valley. You awake under a curse that leaves you a fleshless skeleton. A force called The Corruption is also in the valley, and is opposed by a group called the Keepers of the Flame. The story of Frozen Flame is still under development, but the fundamental plot is that you’re in an area called the Valley of Dragons. Any game that a chicken takes more than one hit to defeat, of which there are many, I feel needs some reworking. Frozen Flame has far less arbitrary feeling grind than many other survival games, and the combat doesn’t feel obscenely imbalanced. Keeping in mind that this game is still in a reasonably early alpha state, has many features yet to be added, and of course a fair assortment of bugs needing fixed and balance changes to be made, it is, at its core, one of the survival games that I have found to be both subjectively and objectively at the top of its class. What does that have to do with the price of beans in Norway? Well, it’s because I’m going to tell you that I think that Frozen Flame is, so far, one of the best survival games I’ve ever seen.
That’s a total of 2184 hours of my life (or exactly 91 days) spent in survival games. I’ve got another 284 hours on Conan Exiles, 186 hours on Dark and Light, 151 hours on Empyrion: Galactic Survival, and a somewhat embarrassing 1156 hours on 7 Days to Die. That being said, I have 407 hours played of ARK: Survival Evolved, about 400 of which were before it left Early Access. Some folks like it, and more power to them. The PvP and base raiding aspects are something I can usually do without, but again: to each their own. It just means more of them for me! There are many things I love about the genre: exploration, the sense of early game urgency when it’s difficult to secure food sources, and often the combat. I know that open world survival games aren’t Ragachak’s (Jason’s) cup of tea, and that’s fine.
