For a bit of context, the last time I played this game was in 2016, when it was still not fully released (I even have a bugged out Steam Achievement that doesn't exist anymore). To some people this review might be unfair because of this, but that was my experience with the game. I remember being really interested in the game's atmosphere and it evoked feelings of fear/anxiety as I struggled to survive. At one point, I encountered a deer, and the game crashed. That meant that my run was dead and I had to start from the beginning. I was not happy about that, but I started a new run, in which the same thing happened again. I closed the game after that and never opened it again. It's been a long time since then, and the game is now fully released so I should give it another try sometime, but until then, this is my experience with The Long Dark.
