I Love survival games, I really enjoy games like Goner. If you enjoy games similar to Goner, then check out the following page. I list all the gameplay elements of Goner and at the bottom of the page is a list of survival games with similar gameplay elements.
This game is not yet in early access and I have not yet played it, the information below is per the developer/steam page or whatever else is available.
● Settle, Prepare, Adapt
Use nature to your odds. Build a place you could call “home”. Gather raw materials, craft and improve tools needed to survive in a hostile environment.
● Plan Accordingly
Across the island, you will find safe spots (Such as shallow caves, structures, or even high tree branches). Use them to your advantage, fill your backpack and prepare yourself for the unexpected. Self-management is crucial, think about what you are going to need to survive till the next location and get to live another day.
● Explore & Discover
Breakthrough the diverse biomes shaping the island’s environment and unveil its mystery… But be careful though, you have to watch your steps…Nature can also be dangerous.
● Fear the unknown
In your journey, you will have to face dangers that surpass your imagination. Moving shadows, harrowing sounds at night, the feeling of continuously being watched… And the chilling sensation of being hunted by deadly creatures you can’t believe they are even real.
● Survival Mode: Your only goal is to live as many days as possible. You’ll eventually earn rewards and achievements that will boost your stats and skills to equip and use in your next tries.
● Story Mode: You start the game with a clear mission: find your mother and her missing crew… Then, get the hell out of there! Along the way, you will learn more about the island and its dark secrets. Meet unforgettable characters, and get yourself involved in interesting side quests.
➔ Senses: Predators will be able to see you, hear you and smell you. Even if you can defend yourself, sometimes your best chance of survival will be to flee and to hide. You will need to watch your steps and be cautious.
➔ Camouflage: Hide your scent covering your body with mud. There will be more (unpleasant and dangerous) ways of disguising your smell, as well.
➔ Survival Mechanics: Stats and inventory management. Activities like hunting, fishing, cooking…Craft and improve items and tools. Build shelters and traps.
➔ Survival Horror Mechanics: There will be “safe spots” where you can rest, build, craft and prepare without any danger. You will need to find specific flints to be able to save your progress lighting a campfire. Inventory will be limited and weapons mostly ineffective against certain big or fast aggressive animals. Run, hide and avoid dangers.
➔ Skills: By repetition and success, you will be able to skill up your survival abilities.
➔ Biomes: A variety of environments will shape the island such as rocky coasts, swamps, meadows, overgrown forests…And natural & man-made geographic features such as rivers, lakes, waterfalls, abandoned buildings or camps for you to explore and use.
➔ Day and Night Cycles + Weather System: With their pros and cons. Traveling during the day will give you more visibility and is generally safer. But you will get tired and thirsty faster on hot, sunny days. Predators are more active and your visibility can be worse at night, but your general stats will last longer. Rain and fog will force you to change your plans.
➔ Natural Dangers: The island itself hides many hazards such as sticky tar pits, toxic and poisonous flora or irritating insects among many others. Watch your steps.
➔ Complex AI and Behaviours: Dinosaurs and enemies will react not only to your actions, but the surroundings and other fauna, as well. Raptors will learn, call each other, organize an attack, set traps… Predators will decide if you are a worthy prey.
