7 Days to Die, Day Z, and Rust. Which survival game is going to end up being the best?

Do you guys have any updated views and opinions on these games, and another additions like Savage Lands. I am looking into one of these, but seeing how EA games are getting dumped so now and then i am trying to make 2 choices, should i buy a EA survival game and if so, which one have the brigthest perspective.

Of those three I prefer 7 Days to Die, cause that's the only real survival game in my opinion.
The zombies are a great threat in this game especially at night, you can also set your own difficulty to make this game really a hardcore survival game.
And you have lot's of possibilities to build stuff. You can play alone or together with your friends without risk of getting shot by some kids.

DayZ and Rust are just kinda FPS with zombies. The biggest threat are other players, cause many of them just kill you without any reason. Most of the time the Zombies aren't a threat at all. The building is not exsting in DayZ if you don't use mods, but you can build stuff in Rust, but it's by far not so varied like in 7 Days to Die.

None of these are true "survival" games. We have a resource gathering and crafting game and two murder simulators that are all about the PvP.
Given the 'requirement' of it being survival, 7 Days to Die comes closest. But barely.

If and when the focus revolves around either PvP or straight up combat then its hard to consider it a survival game.
Or rather, if that is included in the consideration then Battlefield and Call of Duty are also survival games.

For survival its better to look in the direction of titles similar to Project Zomboid or Don't Starve which actually focus on survival (food/water, elements, sleep etc) not just combat.
Though if you really want a challenge you should look at Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead.

None will ever be properly finished in a timely fashion. People will get bored and move one before they are done.

Played 7 days some months ago. Had a ton of fun, but as some friends and I tried to play it last week or so, it was kind of unplayable for anyone of us, no matter how good or bad our computers were. FPS drops, GFX glitches, crashes and freezes whatever we tried. We were able to play on a server with less then 10 players online though.

Rust is fun too, but it gets kinda repetitive since there is no real environment then other players. Server gets wiped once a month, everyone starts building and whoever finds the first heavy weapons/tnt dominates the server.

Never played DayZ

There is Miscreated too. But I asked for a refund as soon as I saw the map's size...

So many more than just those three EA survival games these days

And some have even left EA like
-Don't Starve
-Life is Feudal: Your Own
-Reign Of Kings

I know here's a lot of hate going around for DayZ, but if they manage to implement all that stuff they want(ed) to, it will kick major ass, bcause it will be grandeur.

DayZ is garbage. I'd refund it if I could.

So many replies, thanks! Well it seems there aren't many survival games that are sure of release. Probably Don't Starve Together and The long dark are one of the games that will actually get finished. Don't want to spend money on a game that will probably never be released (7days/Rust/Dayz?)

Id go for ARK Survival Evolved , still on Early Access, but almost daily updates, and slowly its turning on in a really nice game (besides it has dinosaurs, I`m sick of zombies for now...)

The only game i've actually played is rust.This game is really good maybe since it has no end no matter how powerful you're or how many friends you've someone will defeat you or a simple server wipe will make you start over.

The game can be tense most of the time and can easily make you rage quit since you start basically with a torch & axe.You'll need at least an hour to gather required resources for a small wooden shelter,campfire,sleeping bag.THAT'S if u're lucky enough not to face crazy dudes who'd kill you for fun or for simply stealing what you've collected.Not to mention if u're naive enough to pass by a large base as you'll most likely get shot and bleed to death.And even if you passed all this you still need to find blue prints & even more resources to upgrade your shelter and provide it with a lock pad.

I've tried to play alone and with my friends and in both cases it's fun but with friends everything becomes easier and you can actually progress more rapidly.It becomes even better if u're voice chatting with your friends using (Skype,steam....etc).I don't really recommend in game voice chat as it's a laggy and will attract raiders to your location.

The game gets an update every Thursday which adds new features,stuff or improve game animations,graphics quality,security & optimization.
ARK:Survival evolved seems to be good too.I don't have the game but i've seen some reviews and it seems to bee good in all aspects excluding optimization.
