The Long Dark Reviews
View All (36 total)Deep, brutal, and hauntingly atmospheric, The Long Dark is a survival game done right.
A pleasingly complex and realistic survival simulator, accompanied by a story mode that so far fails to be anywhere near as compelling.
The wilderness is satisfyingly unforgiving. The world is fun to explore, but story mode offers a lackluster narrative
Bugs and a rough story weaken what is, at its core, a great survival game.
