I installed it last week, and since then I've played literally 25 hours of the game.

My only previous exposure (lol, survival pun) to this game was by watching the wonderful onefjef on Youtube play through it a little, and I thought it looked fun but I was distracted by other things. Once I have it down to a manageable load I'll continue the climb up the mountain.Įdit: It'll also run smoothly and well on a potato (2011 iMac).ġ) This game is part of next month's Humble Monthly (along with Quantum Break and Dawn of War III), which is still available for purchase.Ģ) I therefore downloaded it after purchasing the abovementioned bundle early.

I can't carry all that, but I can't bear to leave it behind, so I'm just chilling for a few days and eating it in the relative safety of the cave. My character, as I recall, is huddling in a cave in the mountainside with 15 kilos of wolf meat and 6 liters of water. My current game is Voyager difficulty, around day 85, and I'm up in Timberwolf Mountain, the newest zone. As far as Early Access games go, this is one is incredibly stable, mostly bug-free (only fallen through a hole in the terrain once, and I've played 50 hours) and has a responsive and active development team. An episodically Story Mode is suppose to be coming out in the spring. The game is in Early Access on Steam, and is currently limited to Sandbox mode - your goal: survive as long as you can. You need food, water, and shelter to survive. No zombies or lovecraftian horrors, just wolves, bears, and a Canadian winter where everyone but you is dead. The Long Dark is a survival game - not a survival horror game.
