#10: “Dead Island” (2011)
10 Hidden Secrets In Dead Island 2
While we could have gone with Techland’s more recent survival horror game Dying Light, we decided to go with the studio's first attempt at the Zombie genre with Dead Island. As one of 4 survivors trapped on a tropical island you're given the opportunity to improve your weapons by searching the island for blueprints in order to use some of that extra loot you're carrying to create mods for them. Not only can these help in improving their damage and durability but they can also add effects such as shock, poison, fire and even explosive.
#9: “Rust” (2013) (Alpha)
In this open world survival game players are dropped into a vast wilderness and are left with nothing but a rock to help them with gathering basic materials. As they progress they can craft both weapons and structures out of what they've scavenge but it’s only by working with others and forming your own clan that you can hope to survive against other players who are not as friendly. Not only does this game present a realistic experience about forming bonds in order to survive but it also lets you and your companions use your imagination to craft some amazing structures that can help to make your group into the most feared in the land.

Top 20 Best Survival Video Games
Surviving in a post-apocalyptic America is not an easy thing, especially when you have to contend with both humans and infected alike. However for Joel and Ellie, the best way to get the better of those that want you dead is to craft something and prove that brains always trumps brawn. With just a few pieces of scrap you can create a hand full of survivalist tools from Health Kits, to Molotovs to even smoke bombs. However it's not just the campaign where crafting is important as it plays a huge part within the game's multiplayer too as you and your team fight to secure supplies in order to come out on top over the opposing team.
#7: “Terraria” (2011)
In this popular 2D game, you are dropped into a flat world filled with both wonders and deadly creatures that linger both above and below the ground.

#6: “Stardew Valley” (2016)
As the grandson or granddaughter of a recently deceased relative, you are handed down a small plot of land located in the peaceful area of Stardew Valley. While the game starts out with you mainly farming, you’ll start to discover other activities in this treasure trove of a game, namely, crafting. As you gather up more and more resources you’ll turn your farm into a lush fertile land, as well as open the door for other ventures such as mining, bee keeping and fishing.

When it comes to crafting some of the most original and bizarre weapons in video games, Dead Rising 2 is among the greatest.

#3: “Fallout 4” (2015)
5 Key Differences Between the Fallout Series and Games
Though many would have wanted more quest variety and a better dialogue system, they still would probably agree that the crafting in Fallout 4 was certainly robust. Bethesda finally found even more use for all that spare loot we keep picking up, by having players use them to craft something new in the latest outing of this apocalyptic franchise. Though upgrading gear and cooking up food and chems was engaging, it was the newly introduced building mechanics that had us using up all that spare loot to turn the many settlements of the commonwealth into thriving communities. This wouldn't be the end however as Bethesda would later release multiple DLC packs, adding in such things as robots, arenas and even our very own Vault.
