I am team Riley on this one. I like that survival games add a layer of stakes to exploration games, which I like but can find boring. The stakes of survival keep me from getting bored. Also for whatever reason my monkey brain really likes survival scenarios.

When I was a kid, it was basically my favorite imagination game. I had 'encampments' all over the woods around my house. My dad was a real estate agent, and when he was showing a house, I'd take whatever stuff I had on me, and could find around, and make a little survival camp.

I have had conversations with my partner about why I like things like Minecraft, but don't vibe as much with something like Pokopia (despite both heavily featuring block based environments and crafting), and I think this is pretty much it.

Minecraft adds stakes to what I'm doing with the survival layer, and those stakes put direct pressure on me to engage with the game's mechanics.

Whereas in Pokopia the motivation is finding new Pokemon to join your community, but it's very low stakes and there's no major threat of messing anything up

(disclaimer: I think Pokopia is a fantastic and well made game. It's just that it doesn't appeal to ME as much)

But yeah even despite the survival elements, and the real threat of dying and losing your stuff, Minecraft still easily hits a cozy feel rather than being stressful.
