Watch: The Culling is a survival game that plays like The Hunger Games
This is just a tribute.
Released this week on Steam Early Access, The Culling is a brand new take on the recent craze for Battle Royale / Hunger Games inspired modes in survival games.
While fun to play, The Culling could still benefit from a lot of work. Graphically it's quite similar to Ark: Survival Evolved; cartoonish and rough round the edges. Meanwhile the gameplay, which puts a heavy emphasis on crafting and melee combat, can be rather clumsy.
Still, there's a lot of potential in here and The Culling is proving pretty popular - it's currently sitting comfortably near the top spot of Steam's top sellers list.
Being something of a survival game enthusiast, I decided to see for myself whether The Culling was worth hunting down. I talk in detail about the gameplay mechanics in the video below; I also blow up an angry man with some C4.
