RE: The Long Dark DLC Update: Signal Void

in Hive Gaming2 years ago

The Long Dark is a game I've watched videos of many times and wanted to try. My list is huge, I'm playing Stardew Valley right now and I'll move on to the other games in order. If DLCs enrich the gameplay that's good and apparently this one does. Thanks for sharing with us

Sort:  

I very much encourage you to get The Long Dark if you're a Stardew Valley. Sure enough, the two games have many differences, but the focus on resources, crafting mechanics and slow-paced gameplay are quite similar. Just be aware that the game will require you to kill animals, and the way it depicts killing rabbits is not for the faint-hearted.

The decision to release a large DLC was a risky decision for a small auteur studio which does everything to treat its employees well, but it's been going relatively well so far. The add-on is sold as a season pass which makes things more exciting because every two months we're getting another package with more content to explore. And sure, it's a proper DLC worth its price (if you like the base game, that is), not just another scam with a bunch of player skins and pay-to-win mechanics. I really hope more studios will follow the example set by the Hinterland Studios.
