Survival games all hinge on the thrill of being alive in the face of potential doom, and that's why there are so many horror survival games out there. Everyone always wonders, from time to time, what they would do in the event of a cataclysm — or if they would be able to survive a zombie outbreak.

The top PS4 survival games are all about bringing the thrill of life to video games and that's why they're flying off store shelves. If you want to feel like a survivor, these are the best games to check out.

Resident Evil was one of the greatest games of all time, and it's been the start of a major series of survival RPG games filled with action, cool characters, and dystopian-cyberpunk imagery. One of the top PS4 survival games to be released is Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.

With this game, the saga continues after the dramatic events featured in Resident Evil 6 and lands players in an eerie Louisiana plantation mansion. Can you survive?

This game is fully VR-compatible, and gameplay blends old school puzzles with new school fighting. The graphics are eerily realistic, so you'll definitely see why this is one of the best survival games for PS4 users.

Ever wonder if you could survive life if dinosaurs roamed the Earth? Ark: Survival Evolved is all about answering that question — in very heavy detail.

Cited as one of the most imaginative survival RPG games to be released this year, Ark lets you see how long you can live around real dinosaurs. You might be able to tame them, hunt them, and also get eaten by them, depending on how good you are at the game.

Though this is one of the top PS4 survival games out there, it's not a scary one. Well, at least, it's not as scary as Resident Evil 7. So, if you don't want nightmares, this is a good pick.

If you're tired of seeing Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 6 monopolizing the PlayStation 4 horror survival game world, then you might want to check out The Last of Us.

This hyper-realistic zombie survival RPG game has been called one of the top PS4 survival games by critics, and we can totally see why. It's gloomy, morose, and involves kicking a lot of zombie butt.

Characters in this game are cool, gameplay is challenging but doable, and it's good ol' fashioned zombie outbreak fun. What more can we say? It's a good game.

Another one of the top PS4 survival games on our list is Days Gone, which is yet another zombie outbreak themed game. In this one, the setting's just a little bit more rural, and you're one of the last remnants of the human race.

You, along with your fellow survivors, are stuck in a fortress and are left to fend for yourself. You'll have to battle Freakers and keep an eye out for potential baddies on the horizon — all while looking for supplies. How long can you survive out in this dangerous and morbid new world?

We couldn't have a list of the top PS4 survival games without talking about Fallout 4. This game is the newest member of Bethesda's most famous family and brings us back to the eerie apocalyptic world of Fallout.

This time, you're one of the last survivors of a vault located up in Boston. You need to cope with radiation damage, feed yourself, quench your thirst, and also just make sure you don't get killed by the hostile wildlife outside.

This game is so popular, there are even PS4 accessories dedicated to it. It's popular for a reason.

Perhaps one of the biggest underdogs on our list of the top PS4 survival games is Mad Max — as in, the game based on the classic movie.

This awesome RPG allows you to be the infamously awesome Mad Max as he tries to survive the post-apocalyptic world around him. Make weapons, fight baddies, and of course, race in that cool car while getting into vehicular combat.

If you love the movie, you'll adore Mad Max. It's an incredibly immersive game.

If you aren't really feeling the full horror game genre, but you do love the strategy behind survival games, then one of the top PS4 survival games for you would have to be No Man's Sky. This game is minimally scary and is more about exploration and survival than kicking monster butt.

This is an "open universe" that allows you to discover other planets, ration out supplies as you journey closer to the center of the universe, and also get immersed in a whole, brand new world involving strong sci-fi elements. It's fun, it's challenging, and it's unlike anything you've seen before.
