The other noticeable difference was that the shackles were also off. My potato aim was to blame, but new players are in for some pain. Crossroads Elegy is a bump in difficulty, and I found myself struggling within two minutes of being outside. If you’re coming from Episode 1 and Episode 2 with little survival mode experience, enjoy death.

The entire sequence gives me serious Misery vibes, but soon Astrid is on her way and players are mostly free to explore Pleasant Valley, the one and only region Crossroads Elegy features.

Those tend to focus on the differences between the original episodes released in 2017 versus the Redux versions that have since replaced them.

In Episode 3: Crossroads Elegy, it’s clear they’ve found their rhythm. There are highs and lows along the path, but the more experience the studio gains, the fewer lows players are forced to endure. Hinterland’s journey through the development of The Long Dark’s story mode is like a playthrough of the game itself.
