That alone should tell you this game is special to me.īut even though I’ve supported The Long Dark more so than the average player, I absolutely adore this game and will more than likely continue to go back to and enjoy until it is pried from my cold dead hands. And I would have probably bought it on my Xbox, but considering I rarely play on that thing, let alone look to play games in the bedroom where that console is currently stationed, I have yet to pull the trigger on numero quatro. Hell, I’ve bought The Long Dark three times now originally on my PS4, again on PC, and the charmed third time when it released on The Nintendo Switch. If this is your first time reading anything that I wrote about The Long Dark, I will simply say that there are games that come along that tick every possible box, and this is one of those rare games for me. I mean, if you are familiar with my contributions to Half-Glass Gaming, you will no doubt by now know my affinity for this game. “How great can The Long Dark really be?”, you might be asking yourself. And although the game is near the top of my greatest of all time list, there are still areas that could use refining, and a number of possible tweaks or flourishes that could make an already great game even greater. ![]() ![]() Unlike really any other game I have played prior, The Long Dark’s take on survival perpetually draws me in and keeps me in its wintery embrace, refusing to let go. This gives me hope that the team has plans to focus more on the survival mode, which is the far better experience in my opinion. This will hopefully make it easier and more feasible to make significant changes to one mode without either having to then update the other mode or risk breaking it entirely. Although my wording probably makes that prospect sound glib, or perhaps even a bit sinister, I for one am actually quite excited to see what form this DLC might take.Īs they get closer to wrapping up the Wintermute campaign, the team at Hinterland is also working hard to effectively separate the two game modes, which are currently very much intertwined. And that means they can finally justify asking for more money for future DLC. The Long Dark has changed quite a bit along its journey, starting off as a sandbox survival game and slowly transforming into basically two distinct game modes once the story-focused campaign eventually surfaced.Īs the fifth and final chapter to the Wintermute story looms on the not-too-distant horizon, Hinterland’s promise to deliver free content to the fanbase has been more than fulfilled.
