For me this was a much smoother way to gather materials and this did not take away from the games realistic feel, and it avoided awkward first-person animations that come with swinging a hatchet or crafting a coat. There is audio of the action being done and a circle timer counting down the time before the action is complete.

Instead, players interact with a specific harvesting/building screen. Unlike The Forest, The Long Dark does not have animations for certain actions such as harvesting materials and building. Actions such as jumping, swinging an axe, harvesting materials and building are animated awkwardly or can glitch on players causing them to be less immersed and perhaps even frustrated with game mechanics. Having played games such as Endnight Games The Forest, survival games in first person often appear choppy and difficult to control. This game also does another thing really well, and that would be using the first-person player perspective and making it work well in a survival game genre. Unlike some games, The Long Dark gives players a very interactive and immersive tutorial that teaches players through its level design and character dialog, this being what most tutorials should strive for. These give important crafting/survival information to help players progress and make the tutorial a very smooth process. Finally, the tutorial adds small pop ups of information when certain items are picked up, or certain menus or controls are pressed.

This initial area is also blocked in by a series of cliffs and mountains, so players canвЂ™t wonder away from this tutorial without a full understanding of basic controls. Immediate healthcare supplies, tinder and fuel are scattered around the player and can easily be found by roaming around the area. This tutorial area does not leave players completely in the dark however, and it is carefully crafted to allow players to teach themselves. This gives players a sense of accomplishment in being able to survive a tough situation. Rather than blatantly telling players where to go and what to collect, the game allows players to figure out the first steps on their own. Then I realized this was a creative tactic by the developers that immerses players in the game immediately. At first, I found this frustrating as I was flustered by the immediate demands made by the character and not being able to find the items needed. The game gives the player (no outside narrator) direction and no idea of what items they can interact with. The players are simply awoken, then alerted to several injuries and survival needs they must fulfill after a serious plane crash. The players are simply awoken, then alerted to several The Long Dark has a very interesting introduction when beginning the story mode.

The Long Dark has a very interesting introduction when beginning the story mode. You can find entrances and exits to other maps, so there is a profound sense of exploration.

Anyway, I thought the game was really thoughtfully done. Its not very often I get to see my home in video games. When you wade through a blizzard, freezing in the middle of the night (again game time) and you just see that maple leaf waving in the wind. As a Canadian, I also feel quite proud playing the game. Admittedly I have not played the story yet, just been having fun in the survival mode, competing with friends to see who can outlast who. My brother loved it, and, I think he's still alive to this day in his play through. I ended up showing it to all my friends, giving them each a shot in the game. I spent two hours playing survival mode before I was killed by a pack of wolves.

I had no idea about it, but saw it in the Playstation store one morning, and decided to download it.
