Generally speaking, I'm not the biggest fan of survival games. I don't like the constant threat of starvation, freezing to death or just random predators trying to kill me while all I've got is a stick. But The Long Dark manages to balance this aspect so well that I really love this game. It's the perfect mix of always finding enough stuff to survive but still having to worry that you might not make it. The feeling of barely reaching a cabin late at night, completely tired and frozen, is just marvelous. And the story itself is really good. The devs really put their heart into it.
