Feature: Or Mum, if you'd rather.
One of the commonly used phrases in tech and games to describe a foolproof ease of use is ‘even your mom’. “So simple even your mom could do it”. That’s where this article starts. ‘Even your mom’ could play this game. But what do we mean by that beyond touch-based or click-only interfaces, and games produced for the often dismissed ‘casual’ market? And, actually, how…
Feature: And The Long Johns
I've long loved The Long Dark [official site], each time I've returned to it. It's been six months, and I've seen that a new zone has been added along with some major changes to crafting, so it seemed about time to take a look. But I don't want to go outdoors.

Feature: Don’t Recycle
Bethesda have a spectacular talent for making moth-eaten ideas feel like revolutionary concepts: Fallout 4 [official site] will let you play a property baron who constructs not just houses but connected settlements from bits of duct tape and broken globe. I was beside myself with excitement at this news – giddy, even – but not because of any particular flair on display in the five-minute…

Feature: Wolf's Bane
Snowy survival sim, The Long Dark [official site], has recently doubled its landscape, so I thought it time to return to explore this newly fallen content. And video myself being eaten by wolves in the process.
Feature: Cold Mountain
It's grim up north. The northern parts of Canada portrayed in early-access survival adventure The Long Dark, that is. We sent Duncan Geere to explore its icy landscapes for Survival Week, and he came back with a tale of a single day in the life of a lost cartographer, trying to map the wilderness as it slowly kills him.The first sensation is one of bone-chilling…

Feature: Into The Wild
In early 2012, a mod for Arma II called DayZ was released. Two-and-a-half years later, its odd mixture of multiplayer, horror, and a need for players to keep themselves fed and watered, has given rise to the survival genre. Let's celebrate that genre.
Feature: Us Among The Wolf
The Long Dark has arrived on Early Access, with a bunch of new features since we first looked at it, including a choice between a male or female protagonist, a lot more variation in loot - clothes, food, equipment - as well as some new locations to discover. One thing they haven't done is made it any easier to play. In fact, I'm pretty sure…
Feature: Hungry Like The Wolf
The Long Dark is not a friendly game. I have starved to death. Frozen to death. Died of thirst. And been eaten by two wolves. And I have trudged. A great deal. It's approaching early access next month, and while already proving impressive, certainly could do with some balancing. My impressions so far are below.

Feature: The Un-Undead
There’s a lot that can be said for the life of a successful triple-A developer. Job security, financial stability, and having your name in the credits of a game that sells millions of copies are all nice to have. So why would someone in the enviable position of being one of those big-name developers decide to quit their job and make an indie game with…
