Dec. 2025

This is very clearly a game for a very particular sort of player. The graphics are rudimentary, the 'action' is turn-based and mostly conveyed through text, there is no real plot or overarching objective. But if you're the kind of person who likes realism, historical settings, or true survival experiences, appreciates an open world and a self-directed experience, and can get adjusted to a higher-than-normal learning difficulty, then this game is surprisingly deep, engaging, and rewarding. And in spite of it's age, this is a game that you can trust to continue to be updated well into the future, with additional realism and detail being a focus. It's a game I played, liked, but ultimately bounced off of, when I was younger. But revisiting it in my 30s, I've found it's become one of my favorites.

Don't let the hours on record fool you. I have been playing this game since 2012 and i have to say this is the best value for money i have ever spent. If you want the ultimate survival game, this is it. You set your own goals. Once you are past the learning curve (and it is steep, i cannot lie) you realize that this is sandbox survival at its best. You want to build a huge farm and protect it from all the dangers of iron age, you can do just that. You want to be a bloody 7 foot warrior who kills his way to riches, you can do just that. A fisherman, a hunter, a herbalist,a craftsman, all of the above are available to you. This game, however, wont hold your hand. Understand that realism means you can die from a lucky shot to the eye even if you are the Finnish iron age equivalent of a knight in full armor. Wolves hunt in packs and in the winter they can be starving. Bears are not in the forests for your amusement, if you find a female bear with her cub she will most definitely attack you on sight. There are thieves in the woods, and even an invading barbarian force. Everyone will try to attack you from the back, this is a dirty fight for survival. If you are up to the challenge, this is a game that creates stories to be told. The old kind of stories, the ones where good people sometimes die. Can you make it to the old age of 35?

Unreal World is an extremely grounded and low stakes game about surviving in an iron-age Finland. The UI is pure jank, but it's an extremely immersive and charming game and I love it. Basically, you starve through the spring, focus on one of the few food sources and build up a simple wooden hut. If you survive the winter, you’ve pretty much beaten the game. That might sound underwhelming, but that’s the unique part for me. What would be trivial tasks in most games are so demanding but also so rewarding here. When you catch your first large animal, you have to be careful as to not ruin the fur, it’s a whole day’s work to get the fur cleaned up and ready for tanning, not to mention that the tanning itself takes multiple days. Meanwhile the meat is already getting stale, you’ll take naps in the rain with max fatigue and so on, but the payday from that decent fur is so worth it. But, the game lacks things to do in the late-game. In my opinion the reason for it is that all the different mechanics, fishing, farming, the multitude of hunting methods etc. all solve the same problem: Food. If you manage to survive the winter, it means you already solved that problem, and frankly there aren't any more problems to solve. More stuff is coming, but the pace of updates is quite slow. Regardless, great game and looking forward to the future updates. 5/5

One of the most detailed survival games out there and it keeps getting updates to this day. And you can even persistence hunt

March 2025

It's really fun to be an iron age Finnish man surviving against the elements. Just needs more music or forest ambience playing in the background. Be warned: You must have powerful autism to enjoy this game
