I played The Long Dark for a bit at a buddy's place. It's pretty fun given it's current stage of development (early access).

He has a beast PC. Maxed out it was kinda laggy at times. Some textures were iffy and there were some collision issues, nothing game breaking though. It still seemed, to me at least, to run pretty decently.
But, for an early access game, it wouldn't be a bad idea to add it to your wishlist to track the development. I'm holding off myself for now on purchasing it...Stuck playing This War Of Mine. :)

The Long Dark even tho its in early access is a GREAT GAME

Fallout new vegas is worth to buy and play, but the survival system is a bit of a joke, there is not really any "survival" challenge with battling against hunger/thirst/fatigue, food and drink come by stacks (especially if like me you have an habit of stealing everything you can in games)
Stranded deep, is actually really buggy and don't have much content (as we can expect of an early acess), you may want to check that game later when it will be more stable
The other didn't test so i can't tell you about

FNV can become a great survival game if you add a mod like Project Nevada to enhance the survival system values (more scarce supplies of food, higher prices, faster "needs" rate), same with Skyrim and Fallout 3 (even Oblivion has a rudimentary survival mod)

I really enjoyed Farsky.
Be careful when you going fishing though, dem sharks/barracuddas....
Also when you go deep enough you run into "krakens".

Banished. The only thing it misses is the battling with wild life.

And maybe the possibility to extinguish the fire. The whole extinguishing system was not working back in v1.0 and still got not patched according to the patchnotes :-/

Deus and Robinson's requiem. You don't get more survival than that. And then there's Miasmata.

Terraria? It's easy at first, but once you get to hard mode world, it becomes battle of survival unless you're very well prepared :<

I'm currently playing "How to Survive" which has all those elements you want, but yeah it does have zombies too.

You might check out "Life is Feudal". It has some things you are looking for but at same time some you dont want. Otherwise there were many survival mods for games like Gothic 1 (Diccuric had some plans in taht direction in the past, did not follow them since then), Elder Scrolls 3 (Morrorwind had hundreds of survival mods in the past, its been a loooong time i did play the game, cant remember any names today), Skyrim (Did not try any survival mods for that game myself, just saw a bunch on Nexus in the past)

Stranded Deep is a good survival game, though there are a few bugs (to be expected from a made game about 6 days ago). It is Generally Good performance but can lag a bit when in the sea. The game does get repetitive after a while, but overall, it is a fun game.

I also recommend The Long Dark.
Also, DayZ maybe, but on a well populated server hunger and thirst will be the least of your problems.

Does The Forest on "Vegan mode aka Peaceful mode aka no cannibalism included" include on this list?

Well wouldn't say it is a pure survival game. I mean you could play FNV Hardcore mode without killing/encountering anybody and just focusing on food/water/sleep but it doesn't make it a survival game now is it?

So every now and then I open this thread as I am looking for pure survival games to play and I wonder if any of you guys know any (even on greenlight/kickstarter etc) or have an opinion on the current titles.
Pure Survival (not survival horror) means:
So far I know of five pure survival games on Steam:
also Fallout New Vegas (Hardcore mode has strong pure survival elements to it), and basically Minecraft
