    SurvivalCraft has a unique feature where you can download and upload adventure maps with ease without needing to pay or use an external application. in general, it's pretty fun to play. However, minecraft is a bit more fun!

    Absolutely a better game than minecraft in my opinion, but the reality is most audiences who still like minecraft will not like this. It's much more realistic, detailed, and hence more effort is required to play. Also, by default it has much harder survival mechanics, like food preservation and temperature.

    Minecraft may have a lot of features, but Vintage Story has a more realistic feel to it. From the videos I have watched, I can tell I will be picking up this masterpiece of a game.

    Not really similar to minecraft. This is a zombie shooter with basic looting, leveling, and building mechanics.

    Unturned is a cheap-looking kinda crap Zombie survival game. It's not even close to Minecraft, and I don't understand why anyone would think it was.
