The Long Dark Review: Still Worth Buying In 2024?

The Long Dark is one of the most unique survival games ever made for PC on Steam. It combines survival mechanics with harsh environments and realistic survival conditions. In this video we're gonna go through all the gameplay, pros/cons and everything you need to know before deciding if The Long Dark is worth buying for you in 2024.

The world of The Long Dark is vast and open, filled with snowy forests, abandoned buildings, and dangerous wildlife. The nature of the game is all about survival.
The Long Dark is known for its challenging gameplay, which can be tough for new players. The game doesn't hold your hand much, meaning it doesn't give you a lot of hints or tutorials. This makes figuring things out part of the fun, but also part of the challenge.

The gameplay mechanics are solid and provide a good mix of exploration, resource management, and crafting. The progression from early to late game feels rewarding as you gather better tools and understand more about how to survive

I would argue that crafting is not one of the core elements of the game. Yes, it is an important and valuable aspect; however, it's not the main goal to craft. That's what I appreciate most there is no base building or difficult game mechanics. You are simply just surviving, never thriving.

Although not flawless, it's the last true survival game. You never just stop hunting for resources and wildlife, never stop fighting cold or hunger or thirst. You can't avoid afflictions, or damaged clothing. You learn to take small victories (a warmer pair of socks or couple pills of antibiotics) and learn from your mistakes. Your 100th campfire is just as welcoming and cosy as your very first. You can't just automate or craft something that solves entire aspects of the game and for that i love it.

A very slept on game for hardcore survival players

Map knowledge is everything
If you know where items spawn and where resources are it's quite easy to survive

Awesome video sir, liked and subbed. The Long Dark isn't perfect but it is a masterpiece. A bit tough to learn the game (no tutorial), but well worth the effort. The story mode is decent but survival mode is the meat and potatoes of the game. Virtually unlimited reply value.

You have mixed story mode with survival mode. The wintermute story mode has several difficulty modes as well as the survival mode. And these two are independent of each other.

Love this game (one of two I own). I describe it as a vengeful, murderous oil painting! I love it!

Good review thank you buy your accent is difficult to understand :)

I don't get how someone calls this a super reality game. The character is totally unable to overcame the smallest obstacles, can't even jump. And when you find a knife (you used to kill a person) you can't take it???? Also, having about 4 elks jumping around you is totally real too. Yeah, no...

[Nathanaelelliott]

Yes this game is worth buying but not it doesnt have everything. Doesnt have zombies...

[CodyWhiteMusic]

Did I hear you say this game has amazing visuals? 😂🤣 this literally looks like a N64 game
