Can't add Tarkov, and btw I'm still adding a few more games, just be patient.

Arena Breakout: Realistic FPS Global

TacticalSurvivalFPSAction

A Tarkov alike mobile shooter, my favorite hardcore mobile game since I knew from its existence. Very realistic weapon mechanics and great firearm customization options. Got over 2M koens, so it's relatively easy to farm money.

Project Zomboid

The ultimate Zombie survival game EVER. I'll say this my N°1 favorite game, with +210h. A very detailed and definitely painful game. It has a great emphasis on the character's health. And as DayZ, if you die, you lose your doodoo.

DayZ

Post-apocalypticSandboxSurvivalZombies

A very realistic hardcore zombie game. It has great survival mechanics, but I'll say repetitive sometimes. Oh, and if you die you lose everything. This brings me some nostalgia when in Xbox people started to randomly say the N-word and experiencing the goofiest and funniest interactions.

Don't Die! Zombie Survival

Adventure

It's a turn based and simple, yet effective in making you suffer. It has some PZ and DayZ vibe, even tho I've never seen a zombie. It's still in development, but it's damn good in the survival mechanics.

Mini DAYZ: Zombie Survival

ActionAdventure

A DayZ, but mini? And yes, it's still hardcore but simpler. Bohemia definitely did a great work on this one with a pixel art phone alternative to DayZ on its finest (not like the 2nd game, ehem....)

Exanima

Another Isometric and also 5/5 stars game, but why? Because I live with my parents and I've never touched a woman before. This Dark Souls but with shockingly complex (ngl sometimes goofy) active-ragdoll-even-in-controls game will entertain you for a long time. It's also hard to learn the controls.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

Post-apocalypticSci-fiDifficultSurvival

With this game, I mean the whole franchise. I know, it's technically not hardcore, but if you go on iron mode you'll really think otherwise. It's unique and beautiful, and you can't deny it.

Day R Survival: Last Survivor

8.1

SurvivalActionRPGCasual

This one is simpler and less complex than the others, but damn fire. I also know this isn't hardcore, but if you go on hardest difficulty, like in S.T.A.L.K.E.R, you'll value more your life because you'll lose everything if you die (only on the hardest mode tho).

ZED ZONE

8.5

0 Want

I haven't play this one yet, but it looks very promising, almost like a PZ but with a spawn mod and physics, and only 2D pixel art style, and some other thing. Okay, just similar to Project Zomboid.

Kenshi

Post-apocalypticSandboxSurvivalAction

This one isn't actually realistic in the true sense of words, like some of the ones that I've shown before. Here you can be a swordman, wow! But you can also die in painful ways to lose your progress, WOW!!

Deadside

0 Want

It's like DayZ, but cheeper and with more guns in vanila servers, and also with Tarkov vibes. I should probably add SCUM, and also get a job, probably.

SCUM

The game y'all been waiting for... SCUM!! DayZ but arcade!! Not a fan, but it does looks kinda fun.

Rust

Arcade but it does its work well. It was a request, and had me wondering, is it really hardcore? I mean, you can lose your loot and your base, making you start over again. I'll add it anyways.

NEO Scavenger

StrategyRPG

Is a turn based survival game, and all that. Simple, detailed and pretty realistic even tho it's sci-fi. It even has a story, but you gotta pay for it.

Road to Vostok

Post-apocalypticSurvivalFPSAction

So, Tarkov? I forgot this one existed, but damn, the graphics look fire. Still not out yet. I think I'm running out of ideas. Damn.

State of Decay: YOSE

0 Want

So I played the SoD 2 but no the other. I never died because I was too afraid of actually losing my characters tho, but when you have a survivor that has the infection, it really makes you go out and risk yourself more to cure them.

Another DayZ alike, I know. But hey, it was pretty entertaining back then.

Post-apocalypticSandboxBattle RoyaleSurvival

Erm, Arena Breakout but Chineser (i didn't mean to sound racist lol)? Back then was the only available option and I played this game a lot (I actually just have 30h) and was entertaining, but not hardcore. I could maybe extract 10 times out of 12 without difficulty. It was also extremely buggy too.
