Survival games

Survival games are a recent trend, just take a look at the Steam and GOG catalogues and you'll get the idea. The concept of just surviving the environment wasn't much popular among developers in the past century. Nevertheless, someone decided to take their chances with an original gameplay concept: that's how The Oregon Trail was born.
