Survival games, over the past few years, have had a bit of a renaissance, with several massive titles releasing and sweeping up fans of the genre.

I’m partial to the odd survival game - there’s something incredibly satisfying about scavenging for items and crafting the gear you need to live another day, and with this early access Steam title, it looks like we’ve got another winner.

Sunkenland seems to be taking a leak out of the book of Raft, another survival game set on the high seas.

However, with a post-apocalyptic feel as the world is flooded, there’s a hint of Fallout there too.

Much like the previously mentioned Raft, you’ll be surviving while you construct a floating base of operations, combing the waves for helpful items and materials.

Where Sunkenland differs is in the ruins that are found below the tide, the once populated cities and towns that are left crumbling, submerged in the depths.

Now, we’re getting some major BioShock vibes, as we delve through a sunken civilisation who once thrived and now lay at the bottom of the ocean.

The game has been in early access since August 2023, with plenty of updates steadily making their way to players.
