Subnautica
Instead of a harsh land, you're stranded on an alien ocean planet. The core loop of gathering resources, crafting better gear, and building a base to survive and explore deeper remains, but with a strong narrative guiding your underwater adventure.

The Long Dark
Swap the PvP chaos for a relentless PvE struggle against nature. You're still scavenging, crafting, and trying to stay alive in a hostile open world, but the narrative focuses on personal survival and discovery in a frozen wilderness.

Green Hell
This takes Rust's survival intensity and drops you into a hyper-realistic Amazon jungle. The focus is entirely on PvE survival, crafting, and exploration, with a psychological thriller narrative woven throughout.
