A few days with the game, now in its patched state on PS4, I still haven’t played the Story Mode. I’ve favoured Survival Mode, as initially the bugs(before patching) apparently made it impossible to advance the story.
It’s been a long while since I’ve played any TLD so it’s all about muscle memory and remembering to prepare well before heading out to explore. Mapping is a nice addition and fits naturally within the game.
I now need to decide on what challenge to try first(probably Nomad). Yet should I notice a few more hours in Survival mode first?
Four things learnt
- Cooking fish may give you a deposit of oil for your lantern.
- The Aurora is alive in both Story and Survival Modes!
- Leaving raw meat on your doorstep will attract the wolves.
- You get more charcoal from an indoor fireplace than an outdoor fire.
