The Long Dark gets spiritual successor with new survival game, Angst

The Long Dark gets spiritual successor with new survival game, Angst

The Long Dark, which first came to PC in 2014, is one of the best survival games to date. Its take on the genre, set in a frozen stretch of post-apocalyptic Canadian wilderness, makes it unique among other standouts like Don’t Starve, Rust, DayZ, Valheim, Subnautica, and Sons of the Forest. Somehow, though, it’s taken until now, a decade later, for another studio to create a game made with clear inspiration from The Long Dark, which certainly seems to be the case with wintery survival roguelike Angst: A Tale of Survival.
