This criminally underrated masterpiece of a game taught me a lot about myself. The premise of The Long Dark is one of letting go. So many other survival games make you focus on the grind. You run around collecting things, and soon enough they stack up at your base. The Long Dark is different, in that it forces you to keep exploring. The best way to play this game is to not have a home base, but rather carry just enough on your back to get to the next town. The next landmark. The next cave. It teaches you that the journey is the joy, not the destination. This game will punish you for carelessness, and reward you for focus. I highly recommend anyone who plays this doesn't do so lightly, as you will have an uncomfortable experience. If you are able to find how the devs designed this game to be played, you will never forget the hours spent in this world.

Amazing game for a chilled solo play.

A very well made survival game.
Cold af!
