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!
