![]() Land can be claimed and owned privately or it can be public and shared by all residents of the world. Public officials can be elected and laws can be drafted and passed that change the experience significantly from one run to the next. Players need to communicate often about the direction of the world and a robust system of government has (mostly) been implemented. Community Is EverythingĬommunity is often very important in survival games but I’ve never seen it implemented with the same level of depth as Eco. The visual blow most other survival games out of the water. If a balance between progression and respect for the environment isn’t made, the world itself is likely to die off before the technology needed to survive the incoming meteor exists. Animals can go extinct if they die off faster than they can reproduce and entire areas can be deforested if an effort isn’t made to maintain them. Though your world may be either the default or randomly-generated, plant and animal life, and resources tend to be finite. As is hinted by its name, Eco puts a significant focus on the ecosystem. So what exactly are you surviving against then? Short answer, the clock, long answer, a giant meteor going to destroy the world if you don’t manage to do it first. Humble beginnings lead to great things as you build a civilization from scratch. You also don’t need to eat or drink to stay alive, though you’re encouraged to have a balanced diet of fat, carbs, protein, and vitamins to maximize the modifier on your experience gain. Even more outside of the norm, Eco doesn’t have any hostile threats that you have to face regularly, at least at its current stage of development, though there’s mention of some animals becoming more aggressive in the future. These ‘blocks’ aren’t easily identified just by looking at them as they blend into each other far more seamlessly than the clear boundaries of something like Minecraft. The world is made of blocks (dirt, stone, etc.), though it looks particularly nice overall. Eco takes its inspiration from several sources in its genre.
