Below was a game that captured my interest the first time I saw it. Unfortunately it would be another five years before it would actually come out and when the game did release it was marred by a cruel difficulty level that turned off many. Capy Games has thankfully heard the outcries to fix what is a beautiful game ruined by overzealous difficulty (i.e. not just instant kills, but hunger, temperature and corpse runs from the beginning as well if you die). Capy Games tweeted today that alongside a release on PS4, the game would also be receiving an Explore mode which will boast no instant kills, infinite checkpointing and only temperature health drains which should make the game much more accessible. Hopefully this game will also come to Nintendo Switch as well but we will have to wait and see. There is no date for this update or the PS4 release yet.

If you want to try the original difficulty right now, to be called survival mode in the future, you can play the game on PC and Xbox One.
