Long Dark apparently won't have any threats to the player. Its a true survival game based on surviving an environment that can't elicit any real surprises. I'd say that's a fair assessment without having you spoil the game and point out theres X Y Z hostile surprises in the game.

mmmm it's not that at all, respectably. It'sssssss.... and realistic open-world survival simulator. Well, as realistic as possible while remaining a "game" for enjoyment. But excluding zombies and dinosaurs, ya know? hehe. It's more of an adult age open-world game, sometimes too slow, sometimes too fast. But always brutal.

Yes the elements. Harder at the beginning for that. But most times I die are to bears or wolves. Even once, I died to a bear, a pack of wolves, then froze to death trying to crawl back to shelter in a night time blizzard as I trailed all my blood. Then I guess vultures finished my caucus the next day lol since it's perma-death. It's friggen brutal lol. Game of the year as far as I'm concerned, and it's still in early access.

When it first whent to early access, it was a bit easy they say, but they fixed that [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I especially like the sound ambience. I stick my good headphones on as I sneak through the forest. I mean by the time you hear it, it may be too late. It's the only game that seems to keep me on edge, where every little distant patter or some shadow moves and you gotta be ready to react or face a possible sudden game loss. And you can probably just sneak though the world and find less trouble, but then it's not just the bears or the wolves or the weather or dysentery trying to kill you, but time itself has made itself a fatal enemy to your cause.

But like I said, it's more for outdoorsy people. If you like to backpack, fish, hunt, camp etc, this is an essential game. If not so much then probably other things of interest. But it's not like MYST, which was a game I liked a ton, played it through many times. Reading won't help.
