The Long Dark is probably one of the nicest survival games available on Linux right now, it's cold, it's harsh, but it's beautiful.

This new update is a big one, see this video:

You can now play it in more languages: French, Swedish, Korean, Chinese (Trad + Simplified), Japanese, Turkish, Norwegian.

They've done a first-pass on the skills and feats system, which makes the game feel a bit more like a survival RPG than an empty sandbox (which is a good thing).

You can now find research books to help with the new skills, and lots of other adjustments to the game to accommodate the new systems.

On top of that it has the usual quality of life fixes and general bug fixes.

I actually had a friend over recently to show him SteamOS, the Steam Controller and this game and he was in love. Think we may have a future convert there! The game runs really well and it's really quite beautiful in the way the visuals are done.

The main thing I am excited for is the story mode, but to get to that point they need to flesh out all the different mechanics in the sandbox mode to make it truly special.

Very cool!

I havent experience any major sound issues with this game
If I tab the game down and up again I get a problem. But its not like the game is completely broken.
If this happens I can just save and restart the game.

Quoting: GuestSorry if I sound too negative regarding the game. I think it looks really fun; it just gets to me that that bug, that seems well known, soon has its first birthday.

No your not negative. I can see the frustration in waiting for a known bug to be fixed.
And its been known for a while aswell.
I just wanted to point out that, I only get the bug if I tab out of the game for some reason.
Overall the game is very playable.

But if you havent got the game, its probably better to wait, it will probably be more expensiv in time, but you get more content and hopefully no sound bugs when its done.
And if its to expensiv you can always wait for a steam/gog sale.

And I recommend it, its a very good game, and there will be a story mode soon aswell.
At the moment there is only a sandbox mode.
