What to consider
Summarized by AIRaft fans like crafting and surviving as a team, with a hint of adventure. Valheim and Don't Starve Together are the closest co-op worlds, The Forest adds horror, Hurtworld leans on gunplay, and Conan Exiles Enhanced offers a barbarian world with a home or even a city to build.
A procedurally generated Norse world for one to ten players, where you craft powerful weapons, construct halls and slay mighty foes. Different biomes each bring their own resources and dangers. It keeps Raft's group survival and building but swaps the ocean for a land you can roam across, with far more bosses.
Standout features
- 1-10 player survival
- Distinct biomes
- Weapon and hall crafting
2. Don't Starve Together
Best for friends who want a stranger, more eccentric survival world.
184 votes
The standalone multiplayer expansion of Don't Starve is built around fighting, farming, building and exploring together. You gather resources and craft items to suit how you want to survive, in a strange world with odd creatures and hidden dangers. The art and mood differ a lot from Raft, but the team survival loop is similar.
Standout features
- Strange creature-filled world
- Craft to suit your style
- Co-op farming and building
A survival horror game that begins with a jet crash, much like Raft's stranded start. You are the lone survivor in a forest with cannibalistic mutants, building, exploring and crafting in first person. Every tree can be chopped, and a network of caves lies underground, so the mood is far more frightening.
Standout features
- Jet-crash survival start
- Cave and lake networks
- Cannibal mutant threat
A hardcore multiplayer survival FPS where competitive gunplay and map control come first. You can take on the wilds with friends or alone while gathering and crafting. Raft is relaxed by comparison, so this is the pick for players who want more combat pressure in their survival.
Standout features
- Competitive gunplay
- Strategic map control
- Friends or alone
5. Conan Exiles Enhanced
Best for builders who want to grow from a scavenger into a barbarian with a city.
83 votes
An open-world survival game in the mythical lands of Conan the Barbarian. You can play single-player, co-op or on a persistent multiplayer server, surviving freezing cold and exploring loot-filled dungeons. In time you build your own home or even a shared city, which is a big step up from a raft.
Standout features
- Conan's Hyboria
- Loot-filled dungeons
- Build a shared city
