The story mode takes you to a variety of places, where you’ll meet a few scattered NPCs that will require your help in return for there’s. The Long Dark is a true survival experience, meaning you’ll need to collect as much as you can carry, learn to build fires, hunt rabbits with hurled stones, cook meat on hot rocks, and generally just try to stay upright. Astrid is missing, the plane is scattered across the valley, and you have only what you can scavenge. That Will and his client have a long, traumatic, possibly romantic history is revealed in the cartoony cutscenes – cutscenes that evoked older memories in me thanks to the presence of both of Mass Effect’s Commander Shepards, Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale.Īnyway, one sudden storm and a plane crash later, and you wake up alone. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where a geomagnetic storm has rendered most technology useless and plunged humanity into an ice age, The Long Dark’s story mode casts you as Will Mckenzie, a pilot hired to fly a doctor named Astrid into the frozen north to deliver a vital, yet mysterious, package. This includes three episodes of the story mode, Wintermute, the meat and potatoes that is survival mode, and the various challenge modes that you’ll only play if you’re the sort of person who likes to witness death from exposure on repeat. Originally released on PC, The Long Dark hits Nintendo Switch with all the content from the previous iteration.

I learned the hard way in The Long Dark that nature doesnt like humans very much, as I battled hunger, fatigue, dehydration, hypothermia, and the planet itself, to stay alive. I don’t care how beautiful and majestic timberwolves are when you’re being chased through ankle-deep snow in the middle of a blizzard, and all you have to defend yourself is a pocketful of pebbles, they’re all bastards.
