Open world survival games
If you like a game where you can explore a large map and survive in difficult conditions, then the Sandbox Survival genre is definitely for you. However, this is a broad topic, and the games in it can vary greatly.
However, the basic idea is always about the same - to survive when finding yourself in harsh conditions. For example, on a desert island or in a zombie apocalypse.
