There are few survival games out there that avoid the old tropes of "hunt, eat, fight monsters"; the Long Dark is one of them. Story mode is well written and produced, while survival mode will give you a long-lasting challenge that doesn't get overly repetitive. My one complaint about survival mode, however, is how much food you need to survive. While it makes hunting an unavoidable fact of life, there is no human out there that needs to eat an entire adult deer every 2-3 days, or upwards of 5 kilos of fish to survive. Mackenzie must have some serious metabolism issues.
