If you plan on going to or currently are staying in the mountains as far from the virus as possible, this one\u2019s for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Long Dark<\/em> is a survival game about holding out against the animals, elements and your own body\u2019s limitations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A great lesson to take away from The Long Dark<\/em> is the importance of fire even outside of basic survival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If the avatar is in a cold place, keeping warm is the most important and fire is essential for most engines or reactions which is good to note. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another note to keep in mind for this game is, mind your food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gamers play a hunter, similar to other animals in the mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When players bring food back to their dwelling, the animals will track it and they are hungry, therefore, always be aware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4) <\/strong>Subnautica<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Since we have mountain men covered, what about deep sea divers? What about those people smart enough to put 25,000 feet worth of water between them and the rest of humanity? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Subnautica<\/em> is a game about surviving in the ocean, where you have to explore ever deeper if you hope to prosper in an ocean teeming with beautiful vistas and fascinating creatures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Though one thing to note: it’s a pretty scary game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A lesson to take away from Subnautica<\/em>, even if you\u2019re not an underwater survivor, is that the food chain is far bigger than you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3) <\/strong>Dying Light<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dying Light i<\/em>s a game about freerunning, crafting weapons and fighting zombies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At night these scary zombies come out and chase players down relentlessly, so it is noteworthy to stay safe and inside at night in this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Players fight with all types of taped together weapons, guns, or bows, to explore and level their character. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The combat in Dying Light<\/em> is the best on this list with physical reactions based on where you strike the zombie, occasionally resulting in a head explosion or flailing arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best lessons to take away in order to survive in this game are: stay inside at night, practice your batting and keep running. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2) <\/strong>The Forest<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t own a submarine, don\u2019t want to freeze to death and happen to be allergic to flesh-bites on your body, what options are left? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, what about abandoned islands? <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Forest<\/em> is a game about surviving on an island with cannibal mutants who act with a range of reactions, making them unpredictable neighbors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These mutants aren\u2019t suicidal or instantal hostile like in most games- they\u2019re smarter than that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Players\u2019 initial days on the island might find cannibals curiously watching from a distance or catch them sneaking into your camp from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conflict is inevitable, but keep in mind the cannibals self-preserve in this game, meaning if they know they will lose a fight, they retreat or call for help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The lesson to surviving The Forest<\/em> is, figure out whose out to eat your skin and the best way to bob and weave.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1) Minecraft<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I have to be honest with this one- this game teaches players absolutely nothing in terms of realism, but if they have no options and the door seems like it\u2019ll hold out before apocalypse, Minecraft<\/em> is a good way to kill time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Minecraft<\/em> is a block world where one can explore and build to their heart’s content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The game is vast and will definitely outlast the apocalypse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Playing Minecraft<\/em> gives players a basic understanding of civilization and what it needs: food, water and protection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Essentially, anyone who plays this will have a basic blueprint for society after the fallout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With the Coronavirus pandemic raging across the world and the feeling of \u201capocalypse\u201d looming on society, here is a list of 5 survival-themed games to wait out quarantine with. 5) […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[9],"tags":[2673,2222,2674,2198,2671,2669,2470,2668,2675,2670,2672,1679],"class_list":["post-5617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-opinion","tag-apocalypse-games","tag-coronavirus","tag-coronavirus-quarantine","tag-daniel-rivera","tag-dying-light","tag-minecraft","tag-quarantine-2","tag-subnautica","tag-survival-games","tag-the-forest","tag-the-long-dark","tag-video-games"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3Skgy-1sB","jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbccviking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbccviking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbccviking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbccviking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/42"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbccviking.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5617"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lbccviking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5617\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5624,"href":"https:\/\/lbccviking.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5617\/revisions\/5624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbccviking.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbccviking.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbccviking.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lbccviking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-Subnautica-2020-04-10-at-5.27.13-AM.png?resize=696%2C389&ssl=1\")
