SOS, the social survival game, will release on Early Access later this month

  • 18

What sets SOS apart from other multiplayer survival games is its built-in-social element: Players can talk to one another freely through a proximity-based chat (a microphone is required to play) and spectators can listen in on those conversations and throw out emotes in response. It's not the last player standing that counts, then, but the most entertaining-although as we learned in our December preview, a creative killer instinct is obviously a plus. It's been in closed testing for a while now, but Outpost Games announced today that it will go into Early Access release on Steam on January 29.

I didn't like how SOS plays but it can be entertaining to watch if theres a good group playing.

This one is slightly different, but it may not be the one for you but its definitely worth giving a shot.

From what I played in the earlier release if you aren't a chatty person this game isn't for you.  It is different enough from its competitors that if you don't mind voice chat it is worth taking a look at.

Communication is a must on this one and i wonder what they have taken to minimize abusive language through chat, people tend to do that in online game, i know this because i play dota and i came around alot of scenario that consists of such behavior.
