Indie survival games

TOP: indie survival games for weak PCs and laptops. Games from large studios have large budgets, but the developers themselves often depend on the decisions of the publisher, who, in fact, allocates money for creation. And this affects many details.

This is partly why most survival games are made by indie developers, that is, independent creators. They just have more unusual ideas.
