Island survival games

There are many different types of survival games, but one of the most popular subgenres is, without any doubt, island survival. After all, who among us would not want to be in the shoes of Robinson Crusoe?

However, not all survival games are purely island. Sometimes you have to survive on a raft or in an abandoned area. Often the essence of such games is approximately the same - look for resources, craft and survive as long as possible.
