Hinterland has tweaked the frequency of the auroras so that they appear more often, which helps since you need the electricity created by the aurora to proceeded. What hasn’t changed is the beautiful aurora, lightening up the night sky at times. Another of those mysteries we are awaiting to be solved.

Not the nicest people to be near to, seems like they are out of some prison camp. There are other, less amicable types hanging around in the new Redux version. Still I don’t understand completely what he is here for, but I guess I have to wait for Episode 3. There are some new companions, like Methusalem who is really a strange guy hanging around in most impossible places, relaxed playing around with his fire and giving very philosophical remarks. I have played the original version till the mid of Episode 2, and now both Episodes of the Redux version, and have to agree that the update is a considerable improvement – and in addition – it feels easier to play, one does not get killed that often 😉 There have been some changes around the Studio behind the game, Hinterland Games which brought the delay of Episode 3, but improved the first two Episodes with more content, better graphics and animations, and extended story. Well, I haven’t played in a long time, so it was anyway a a good timing to restart the story mode. The Long Dark got a big update in December 2018, one that renewed the story mode Wintermute completely and zipped out all safe files.
