Sandbox mode is what most survival players will be accustomed to. It’s a gripping tale that also functions as an extended tutorial for the game’s main event: Sandbox mode. Unlike most survival games, the story in The Long Dark is a more guided and linear experience, with animated cutscenes that touch on Will’s past or give you a look at how the world is dealing with the electronic apocalypse. Wintermute serves as the game’s story mode and follows Will Mackenzie, a pilot searching the Canadian wilderness for his lost friend. The Long Dark is playable in two modes: Wintermute and Creative. You’re in a plane over Canada when the storm hits, bringing you crashing down in the middle of a snow-filled tundra. There’s no escape and no one’s coming to your rescue, so you might as well set sail and go where the wind takes you.ĭeveloper: Hinterland Studio Publisher: Hinterland Studio Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchĪ geomagnetic storm has destroyed all electronics.

The starter island is small and sparse the game’s scale only becomes clear after you first hop atop a raft (MacGyver’d together from sticks and wooden planks) and set off into unknown waters. That’s a common premise in survival sandboxes, but where Stranded Deep stands out is that it eventually lets you escape from your island prison and sail the high seas. Stranded Deep throws you on a desert island where you must do whatever it takes to stay alive.
