Je m'essaye à The Long Dark... Heu bah c'est un peu chiantos comme jeu non ? Beaucoup de temps d'attente... On veut faire un feu ? 30 secondes d'attente. On veut dormir ? 20 secondes d'attente. On veut recycler des objets ? 15 secondes d'attente.
J'avais jamais joué à ce genre de jeu, bah je crois que c'est vraiment pas mon truc (surtout dans une période comme en ce moment où je n'ai pas beaucoup de temps, je veux rentabiliser mes sessions de jeu, pas observer une barre de chargement qui symbolise l'avancement de mes actions).

Dommage le jeu est très beau avec son style graphique stylisé, et il y a même une histoire alors que je m'attendais à un truc 100% bac à sable !

Nunca pensei que ia gostar tanto de um jogo de sobrevivência desse estilo, ainda mais por causa de 1 grande detalhe que me fez amar The Long Dark, o seu modo campanha.

Jogos de sobrevivência na maioria das vezes só possui um contexto pra te inserir naquele mundo, porém The Long Dark possui um modo campanha, denominado de Wintermute, onde você controla Mackenzie, um piloto de avião que após um pedido de sua ex esposa para viajarem para o interior do Canadá onde supostamente a esposa de Mackenzie havia algo pra fazer, uma aurora boreal estranha acaba simplesmente desligando o avião que cai no meio do Canadá, e você tem a missão de sobreviver e achar sua ex esposa.

Como eu havia dito, a sua campanha pra mim é algo que faz ele ser diferente dos demais jogos de sobrevivência por ai, pois pra mim existe um objetivo e um motivo para você continuar sobrevivendo, além de descobrir o que é a aurora e o que aconteceu nesse mundo onde se passa The Long Dark.

Sobre sua gameplay e gráficos, The Long Dark é muito bom nas 2 coisas, mesmo sendo um jogo mais lerdão e de sobrevivência, onde você precisa se preocupar com sua fome, água e temperatura, pois você pode morrer de hipotermia, é divertido e até relaxante em alguns momentos sobreviver naquela região abandonada e perigosa por conta da neve, ficar na frente de uma fogueira enquanto acontece uma tempestade de neve é uma das coisas mais fodas que tem. O jogo possui um estilo cartoon em seus gráficos, que me agrada bastante, ele é muito belo, principalmente suas auroras que são lindas e já me fizeram tirar prints do jogo na steam.

O meu segundo jogo de sobrevivência favorito, merecia muito mais reconhecimento, mas infelizmente não é tão conhecido no Brasil.

Bu oyundan gerçekten keyif aldım. Muhtemelen Jack London'ın soğuğun dehşeti ve güzelliği hakkında ilk yazdığı şeyi yakalayan birkaç oyundan biri. Oyun o kadar sürükleyici hale geldi ki, rüzgârdaki ulumanın başka bir orman kurdu olmamasını umarken küçük bir kayalık çöküntüde ateş yakmak gibi sıradan görevleri yapmak için saatler harcayabilirdim. Envanterimi gözden geçiriyor ve avlanmak için yeterli yiyeceğim olmadığını ve sadece birkaç parça cephanem kaldığını fark ettiğimde panikliyordum. Kırık bir ceketle soğukta tavşan avlama riskini göze almalı mıyım yoksa tepelerin üzerinden bolca geyiğin olduğu vadiye mi yürümeliyim? Ama saldırıya uğrayacak mıyım?
Devam edebilirim. Benim deneyimime özgü milyonlarca hikayem var. Bu tamamen daldırma harika.

I love this game. I supported the Kickstarter campaign in 2013. I have played it, since it was in pre-alpha. I own the game on Steam, PS4, XBOX, Switch. The game has gotten a lot of updates over the years. In my opinion it is the best survival game out there. No zombies/monsters, the focus is on exploration and survival. Hunger, thirst, cold and exhaustion and hostile wildlife are the enemies, you are fighting. Mother Nature is your biggest enemies. There is a ton of content and well worth the price. I recommend it.

I never played the storyline, as my only experience with the game was on survival mode. The atmosphere of this game is incredible. I think it was probably one of the most immersive gaming experience I ever had. I surprised myself playing for over 5 hours in one session without noticing.
This game is beautiful, with a wonderful art direction and beautiful landscapes. It leads to very contemplative moments. Yet, this game is very brutal and unforgiving (sometimes unfair too). Nourriture is always scarce, there are wolves waiting at every corner, and we often have to make difficult choice with no optimal solution. It means that playing this game is often a struggle.
This alternance between contemplation and stressful moments really enhance the feeling of having to survive in this beautiful yet cruel frozen wilderness.
The ankle mechanic though... I disabled it in custom mode, because it was way too stressful for me (I get the point, but it did not work for me).

I've put so many evenings into this game and I need to finally log it just doing challenges and the sandbox mode alone this game has been an absolutely riveting one. I crave the type of setting this provides and there really is no other survival games like it. Having to dear the cold more than monsters, the weather more than anything else is how a survival game shoud work. There is usually a point where you can safely walk from end to end of the map with your big sweaters and native american boots but to get there is not to become invicable, you still have to deal with nature in so many other ways, those sprains on steep inclines will ruin your clothes, wolves will be pests, bears and moose will not give a shit how well padded you are with your maritime double brested coat, it will find a way to fuck you up and leave you almost dead

This review is for the story mode and the survival mode.

Story mode, also known as Wintermute, is a big slog. It takes a VERY long time to move between objectives, particularly in chapter 3, when you have to worry about timber wolves tailing you A LOT. That chapter also have one of the longest and most tedious story objectives: carry someone for a half hour to a shelter via a very roundabout route while avoiding, you guessed it: wolves. I couldn't go past this part, as it was just so much time investment for a game where you're just walking.

As for the survival mode, it's competent, and it allows you to choose between several maps to survive in. However, it's play until you die, and it feels like a marathon for really no point. I get that it's survival, but it really does feel like it's pointless at times.

The kind of game you never really finish. You just walk away for a while and come back knowing you have a lot to learn all over again. It keeps feeling like a new game with more things to find every time I pick it up again. It'll be shelved from time to time, but I'll never abandon it.

It makes you feel the isolation of never finding another living person, the desperation of watching your wood supply burn away as the wind rages on, the euphoria of figuring something out and surviving something risky. It's a deceptively complex game with simple goals: don't starve, don't die of thirst, don't freeze. There's no hand holding, there isn't even a tutorial. Things are intuitive enough that it isn't really necessary. There's a thriving, welcoming community to help you out if you get stuck. Highly recommend if you need to burn through a few hours.
