The Long Dark is a personal top-5 game of the gen, with some of the most panic-inducing thrills I've experienced in a game.

The Microsoft Store has effectively been a bit of a joke for the longest time, but thanks to increased investment from Microsoft and Xbox Game Pass for PC, it's starting to become a respectable place to buy your games. You and a small troupe of survivors must rebuild, heat your homes, forage for food, and ultimately survive the increasingly blistering cold while managing the fears and potential rebellion of your own citizens.
