To give you an idea of what I'm looking for, I really enjoy the survival aspect of minecraft. Things that are really important to me in a survival game are:
1. The establishment of a home base
2. Foraging for resources
3. Character progression (kinda RPG like, whether it be through stats, or equipment, etc.)
As I said, I really enjoyed minecraft (survival) and the game "Don't Starve." So clearly, ultra level graphics are not a requirement for me.
I'm NOT looking for games based on killing mobs, etc. Although a small element present in the game is acceptable.
