I feel like just the act of surviving isn’t specific enough to call it a survival game. I actually had this discussion with a friend of mine not too long ago and some interesting points were brought up. Is Sims a survival game? You do have to eat and take care of your Sims in order to not die yet I personally wouldn’t classify it as a survival game. What sets Sims and Rimworld apart? Well I would say the biggest difference is the struggle and feeling like it actually takes effort to survive. This is why I find it hard to call even Minecraft a survival game, it doesn’t focus on the aspect of survival enough, it’s simply a mere distraction.
