    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.

  5. Stranded is a 3D survival game. You are playing the role of a castaway and your goal is to "simply" survive on the purportedly lonely island at whose sandy beach you have been washed up by the sweep of fate.
