yoshiro Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 To put it as simply as possibly - Make every second count. I don't care that I don't have any way to see in the dark and that I'm trapped in a house and can't get out until the sun comes up. If I'm not tired I will repair my clothes or harvest cloth from worthless clothes. I will sort though my inventory and try to plan out my next move. I purposely plan on having something to do when its pitch black and I can't see anything. I do have those times where I feel like I'm wasting time while I am waiting for a storm to pass, but that just encourages me to be more efficient when I have good weather.... which usually leads me to making stupid mistakes and getting myself killed.... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proehlth Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I just love every aspect of the game. And the atmosphere is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchet Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Playing it alone in complete darkness so i can see nothing besides my TV screen.And exploring regions for the first time or re-exploring them in bad weather conditions, the risk of getting lost, the risk of thinking you know where you are but then you end up somewhere completely different.The risk of permadeath and the graphics.Kind of impossible to keep it down to only one thing though, atleast for me.

BetaPredator Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Ironically, dying. It feels so heroic yet tragic. Ultimately it's what the game is about, but that hopeless yet beautiful feeling as your health ticks down it's last 5% and you either jump off a cliff or just fade out... Gives me the chills every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlStack Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 The Long Dark is an excellent survival simulation. The ability to play in "Pilgrim" mode is perhaps the most thought out variation in any survival sim I have ever played. Most other sims give you no choice in battling zombies, mutants or other worldly denizens. Having the opportunity to just survive against nature in a butal environment is an excellent idea, one I have looked for, for many years. The folks at Hinterland have made this right. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the added dimension of aggressive, starving wildlife. Just in reality, most wildlife really has no desire to interact with humans. Not having a save option, may be one of my favorite parts of the game. When you do something stupid, try something a bit beyond your abilities., you either get seriously hurt or fade into "The Long Dark". This ultimately gives you a chance to reflect on how difficult it is to survive in the wilds of Canada, in the winter. Great job, Hinterland! Keep evolving!

Striker Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I love the feeling of the unknown in this game. I try to plan out my week, collect fire word one day, collect food the next etc. It doesn't always end up that way because there might be a pack of wolves outside my cabin or I am really tired half way through the day and need to sleep. I didn't realize this game would make me think so much about my survival, it's great! How many calories do I have, can I sleep this long, how much food is there, did I loot this cabin, how much time on the fire do I have for cooking. The amount of things I can do while needing to stay feed and hydrated is wonderful. This is my new favorite game for sure and I look forward playing it everyday when I get off work because I am always thinking of stuff I can do or needs to be done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recoil911 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 in my case are two things 1) It relaxes me a lot after a hard day. Much better if it's winter outside 2) since i'm not yet economically indipendent,it's perfect while i can't afford to go camping every weekend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stytch Fingal Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Its illustration of how the urge to survive trumps the pointlessness of existence. It may be a bleak, Darwinian beauty,but it's beauty nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
