4. The Long Dark
The Long Dark Walkthrough Part 1 No Commentary
Stranded in the frozen Canadian wilderness, survival is definitely the theme of indie 2015. Although the game is originally meant to be played between two modes: story and sandbox, only sandbox mode set at different difficulties is available for early release. Although still in its beginning stages, the game has been praised for its detail-oriented gameplay and beautiful, though simplistic, art design.
You must scavenge through the frigid tundra, taking factors such as body temperature, hunger, fatigue, as well as numerous other survival means into account. With the episodic storyline still in production however, the overall goal of the game is not yet clear.
Despite this, the game is expansive enough to have a lot of fun running around; free from the horror genre that so usually accompanies these sorts of games. Your enemy instead is the vast and treacherous wilderness, which is more than enough for anyone.
Snow, nature and nothingness. Obviously Canada.
