There are hundreds of survival games out there, ranging from simply surviving in the wilderness to thriving in a blocky world. With all these games, you may be wondering which one to play. Why not leave this decision to the stars? More specifically, your zodiac sign.

Here, you can learn which game you should play based on your zodiac sign. While all of these games are worth the play, a good place to start is with the one that aligns with your own zodiac sign. Of course, feel free to branch out if more than one game appeals to you!

12Aries - The Forest

As an Aries, you tend to fill the leader role. In a game likeThe Forest, it’s impossible to sit back and play passively. You’ll need to stay alert in order to stay alive. Of course, nearly everything in the world is trying to kill you, so this makes sense.

Fan of The Forest? Be sure to check out Sons of the Forest too! This is a sequel that launched in 2023.

Once you establish yourself in The Forest, there is no stopping you. This game is worthy of a tough player, making an Aries the perfect match.

Tauruses are known for being stubborn and diligent. These traits are perfect for a game like Valheim, which requires long-term dedication as you explore the Viking world.

While it’s possible to speedrun Valheim, it’s best played at a steady pace, allowing you to relax and enjoy the world around you. Along the way, you will need to continuously farm materials from the differnt biomes, all whilemaking a base worthy of a Viking.

Geminis get a bad rep due to the twin symbol representing the sign (leading to, at times, being called two-faced). There is much more to this zodiac sign though, such as being witty, curious, and versatile. This makes Rust the ultimate game for the Gemini.

Rust is a game that is much better experienced with other players. This doesn’t just involve working together to survive though. Who knows, if you join a populated multiplayer server, you may just be instantly killed on sight.

Upon launch, Palworld really ruffled some feathers. Many gamers drew similarities toPokemon, but after playing, many agreed that the game was worthy of standing by itself. As such, Palworld is the perfect game for Cancers, who tend to be loyal, caring, and comfy.

Subnautica takes place on a watery planet, which means that your survival takes place underwater. Capricorns are hard workers, and making a base in Subnautica takes just that.

In addition to being hard workers, Capricorns are ‘trailblazers’. This is essential to many survival games, but maybe even more so in Subnautica. With limited visibility in an alien-filled ocean, you will need to keep your wits about you as you explore. Can you stay calm as a giant depth-dwelling monster swims toward you?
