Get your tin can, melt snow into water, then boil it so it’s drinkable. Hope you’re not close to death, all of this takes valuable time. On your way through a linear path, you’ll get thirsty and hungry, which will require you to make fire outside once more. Once in the cave, you’ll need to start a fire to not freeze to death, granted you have the materials, no big deal, however fire is built on a percentage, and takes time, so you could be losing heath the entire time, only to die while your fire making attempt fails. Twigs, various other wood, lighter fluid, bandages, food. Pick up everything you can on your way to the cave, you’ll need them. This all quickly drains your health, fast at that. Hurt, and if you’re not careful on your way to a cave for shelter, burnt. In your hangar, it’s harmless, but soon after you make a crash landing in your plane into the deep, cold wildernes, the game hits you hard like a sack of bricks with getting the picture. This is a great way to introduce you to survival and firestarting mechanics, but the issue comes up with the fact items of interest blend in to the environment, leading you to waste valuable time finding things you’d need. You’re tasked with starting a fire, but you need to find everything to start it first. The game had a very slow and uneventful start inside your little hangar.
The game is deep with plenty of mechanics revolving around surviving, crafting, collecting, hunting. The game really shows the care the developers put into it, it’s not the best looking game, but the chilling (no pun intended) atmosphere of the cold outdoors is stunning.
Lets get this out of the way, The Long Dark does a great job at being a hardcore survival game.
