In our modern world, we play games together that provide game worlds capable of hosting almost endless possibilities. Sandbox survival games push that possibility even further, allowing players to craft, team up, fight, and explore. Encountering other players in games is a core event that the experience is built upon. Reign of Kings has opened my eyes to what we're capable of as developers and players, and it's terrifying and exciting to see where we may be heading with online gaming. In my short play session to get acquainted with the game for this segment, I endured a handful of strange and hysterical things. For years we've seen success in MMO's, particularly in RPG's. But when the survival and crafting mechanics are introduced, virtual reality becomes a blank canvas for players in each server. In this piece, I'd like to share my first experience with Reign of Kings, and speculate a bit about the direction we're taking in online survival sandbox games."

An editor at Complete Game Reviews compares four popular multiplayer survival games on Steam.
I got ARK for 20$ to weeks ago but i will let it mature some months before trying it.
Im not a early acces fan but its a great way to save money if not in a hurry to play the game.
I have all those games in the article and Ark is by far the best. Such a great game and updated like crazy. Rust is also shaping up great and is updated like crazy. 7 Days to Die should be in the article. It's also a great game. I've owned both Dayz and Reign of Kings for a long time now, but I just haven't been able to get into them since Ark came out. Let's also not forget about the Forest which has been making great progress.
Nice call on 7 Days to Die. That game has come a long way since its initial alphas!
