If you ask me to name what genre of games I tend to gravitate towards the most, I’ll tell you it’s a good ol’ fashioned, narrative-driven RPG. But if you were to look at my Steam history, I can see how you would assume it’s anything and everything under the survival crafting tag.
More quizzes!

Want to keep testing your knowledge of gaming trivia? We’ve got loads more PC Gamer quizzes, on everything from healthbars to weird currencies to absurd patch notes.
Still, I maintain that I value story above all else; I just can’t resist a good crafting loop and endless base building. There aren’t many survival crafting games out there that satisfy with a good plot hook, but they’re great little adventures when you’ve got a friend or two to tag along. I love setting up a server, clearing my weekend schedule, and using survival games as a sort of social campfire for the Discord gang to huddle around—even if I spend most of that time organizing chests.
That ritual is how I’ve wound up with hundreds of hours across several of the genre’s staples. So, as a tribute to all of my time spent in the (often literal) mines, I’ve thrown together a survival crafting quiz for all of you sandbox sickos. Whether you’re the building friend, the guy that’s always fishing, or that person perpetually lagging behind the group, this one should be a breeze.
You’ve got 12 minutes to identify 20 survival crafting games by a pixelated screenshot. Good luck, and when you’re finished, let me know how you did in the comments.
