That rhythm is one of death and reincarnation. Three of five episodes in, thereвЂ™s a narrative worth exploring in the lengthy Wintermute mode, while the core Survival mode has, thanks to years of tweaks, settled into a finely balanced rhythm.

Even though, full disclosure, I contributed to The Long DarkвЂs Kickstarter fund a half-decade ago, I wasnвЂ™t entirely pleased by the decision to release the game in instalments, mode by mode, episode by episode. IвЂ™m a skeptic of the games-as-experience model. If you havenвЂ™t, then buckle up, zip that parka, stash some power bars, and maybe grab a lighter or two: itвЂ™s time to (re)visit the Great White North. If youвЂ™ve been playing TLD вЂ“ a Kickstarter smash dating from 2014 вЂ“ then you already know what a hauntingly beautiful experience it is. ItвЂ™s rare that we here at the Toronto Guardian revisit a game, but The Long Dark вЂ“ which we endorsed in our Holiday List back in 2017 вЂ“ has recently undergone a major update, bringing with it the third of five planned episodes in its вЂњWintermuteвЂќ story mode. You will sweat in fear, then shiver from the realistic on-screen cold. Wintermute Episode 3 released on Octofor PS4 (reviewed), Linux, Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Xbox One.ДЄ spooky, atmospheric, and altogether beautiful winter survival game.
