And then you meet the bear. from doris89592's blog

If you manage to survive, and if you're Dark And Darker Gold thorough, you'll eventually find a weapon of some sort. And that changes the game entirely. If you're lucky you'll find a hunting rifle, and if you're really lucky you'll find the bullets to go with it. 

Suddenly you're no longer the hunted: you're the hunter. Wolves don't frighten you any more. You can take them out (at a safe distance). You're unstoppable. Nothing can touch you.

Even if you're totally tooled up, wearing clothes made out of deer and wolf skins, with a selection of weapons to choose from, nothing quite goes the way you think when there's a bear involved. 

I remember letting off a carefully aimed shot on the massive beast and being amazed it did nothing to slow it down. I barely got another shot off before he swiped his huge claw down my body. Dark And Darker named 'Ultimate Game of All Time'

Those brief moments of coming to as he drags you back into this cave, before you pass out once again. You don't wake up from that. But you absolutely do come back for more, because The Long Dark may be harsh, but it's also utterly brilliant.

The PC was declared the Ultimate Hardware of Dark And Darker Gold Coins All Time at the Golden Joystick Awards yesterday, an obvious and completely correct acknowledgement that PCs both predate and outpace any game console you care to name.
