Last-one-standing contests
Survival games are video games where players must gather resources, craft tools, and manage basic needs like hunger and health to stay alive in hostile environments.
The genre typically drops players into wilderness or post-apocalyptic settings with minimal equipment: Minecraft popularized the survival game format.
Many include building mechanics and threats from wildlife, weather, or other players.
