Jun 6, 2020I would wait until all 5 episodes are out. I really like the survival + campaign combibation. Atmosphere and art are great. Downsides are, that it often feels like a boring walking Simulator and the bizarre times he needs to do simple tasks. Non campaign mode seemed boring and pointless to me.

Feb 12, 2016The time i died ...After about 250 days of surviving ( for a bad strike of misfortunes ), was the most painful death of all my video games life . If they nail the story mode it will be an awesome game . And please i will like a The Long Dark 2 with The Vanishing of Ethan Carter graphic !!

Oct 8, 2016Is this a computer game or a work of art?
Whatever it is, it is so in a brilliant way. The experience is truly immersive, the scenic views are like beautiful paintings and the atmosphere takes you in all the way.
The Long Dark is by far the best survival game out there even though it features no zombies. -

Aug 12, 2017Hardcore game with less interesting storyline, and fun game play .
The developers released an amusing story campaign, almost not playable. Release the game? No this is beta 1.0.x -

May 2, 2018The Long Dark is a slow burn. One moment you might be appreciating the beautifully crafted frozen tundra, and the next you are struggling for your life with a pack of wolves. Every moment feels important, like a fight for survival. The smallest decisions can have lasting impact. One mistake can end your life. It is survival game like no other.

Apr 9, 2017Like one of THE best survival games ever. And it's even interesting before the story mode is completed. Played it at my friend's pc. But eventually decided to purchase for myself. Lot's of love)

Feb 20, 2018A different type of survival game, out in the wilderness with nothing to survive with it really tests your patience. Has a new story mode which is ok, but the main survival mode is a good challenge. Is a hardcore mode style game so perma death can be really frustrating but well worth it.

May 27, 2020An original approach to survival games and really enjoyed the mechanics and the atmosphere a lot. The story was rather dull in my opinion and some parts of the game -you'll know when you play it- were rather useless and didn't fit the overall atmosphere but just seemed to be there in order to prolong the game.

Feb 11, 2019Very unique graphics and awesome gameplay. Spend hour and hours and hours trying to survive. Haven't played the story mode, it wasn't out when I played the game, but sandbox is highly recommended!

Apr 24, 2018Was kinda disappointed when Wintermute (Story mode) came. The atmosphere is amazing, musics are great, graphics are not bad, not sure about gameplay, story is garbage.

Oct 13, 2021The Quiet Apocalypse isn’t without problems, but Hinterland's commitment to adding new content, while refining the experience over the years, has positioned The Long Dark at the top of the survival genre’s pecking order. The Long Dark is a must-play for anyone who is even remotely intrigued by it.
-
Oct 20, 2017The Long Dark is a masterful survival game that manages to craft a rich and emotional experience but lacks in providing objectives and narrative hooks to keep the game interesting and meaningful.

Oct 12, 2017The Long Dark is a survival game, one of many some will say, but with its interesting story and a touch of mystery, we’ve got a very good game before us.
