10 Video Games Where Every Gameplay Decision Has Consequences

The Long Dark

Breaking survival down to its bear essence: warmth, food, and fatigue, The Long Dark makes maintaining these three pillars of life an unfathomably difficult task. Set amidst the bleak yet beautiful backdrop of frozen Canadian tundra micro-decisions dominate every expedition: do you have enough energy to complete a hike? How many hours of daylight do you have left? Are you prepared for a blizzard, should the winds pick up? Underlining painstaking survival is the threat of illness, injury, and ravenous wolves. The Long Dark forces you to tread carefully, you never know which step into the great white will be your last.
