While away you can camp in tents to save your game, but the longer you spend outside, the tougher it gets for everyone else. You might well find a bunch of car batteries and fuel, which Maggie can put to use, but you’d probably be better off fetching back food, medical supplies, maybe even a firearm to defend against wolves, or to allow Blane to defend your shelter from the raids that can occur when you’re gone too long. The grid-based inventory is intentionally restrictive: each time you venture out you’ll have to prioritise what to bring back. There are radio towers to turn on, caves to explore, the remnants of civilisation to pick clean for anything useful. NPCs are found scattered about the world, and they’ll usually require you to go gather something for them, such as essential supplies or, in a nod to a certain other survival franchise, bottle caps. Outside, you’ll be inundated with busy work to keep your mind off the cold. Heading out into the cold for the first time is quite daunting it sounds daft, but there’s just so much white, and the swirling wind and darkness, cut only by the slim blade of light projected by your drone, create a wonderfully oppressive atmosphere. Jacob is the nominated forager, most likely as he’s the hardiest among them, so it’s up to him to bring back what’s required. The central premise is that you have 30 days until rescue arrives, and you need to stay warm and vital until then.
BURLY MEN AT SEA PS4 WALKTHROUGH UPGRADE
Blane, the former sheriff, will upgrade your shelter’s defences, while tech-head Christophe and mechanic Maggie are able to use materials you bring back to craft new gizmos and upgrade Ako-Light, the little drone who flies around with you on your excursions. Old bird Wendy, for example, is the cook, who’ll whip up nutritious treats with whatever you bring her. There are menus inside menus and under menus, but you’ll need to learn your way around if you’re to keep everyone fed, happy, and stocked with the gear they need to fulfil their roles. The world outside is frozen and inhospitable, but, in true survival sim style, you’ll need to repeatedly head out into it and scavenge supplies to keep your tiny little colony alive until help arrives. In it, you play Jacob, the leader of a group of survivors holed up in a church after a meteor collision has covered the Earth in a second Ice Age. The latest one to keep me up at night is Impact Winter from Mojo Bones and Namco Bandai. The Flame in the Flood, State of Decay, The Long Dark, whatever… Give me a post apocalyptic world, limited resources, and the unrelenting risk of failure and I’m yours. As a general rule, if I’m not losing sleep to a sprawling, epic RPG, I’m losing it to the painful repetition and meticulous planning of the modern survival sim.
