What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
After finally reaching the ending, I'll say that I was pleasantly surprised for the price.
Only issue i got is that DAMN IT MAN MAKE IT LONGER I WANT MORE, this game is awesome and would really benefit from another game or at the least a dlc, because the distance you have to cover to get to the nearest station at the end you easily could get more gameplay out of it(like you're having some problems and have to improvise), i'm not going to spoil it but DAMN IT MAKE NEAR DEATH 2 pls :)
Also, I would say that the sound design is excellent in the howling wind, knowing when a building is unsecure, the rare bits of music, and especially the main character talking to herself.
+ It's strangely atmospheric, despite the graphics being low, there's a part when the weather dies down and the view is just... wow.
The game has a lot of nice subtle touches such as when your character is sufficiently warmed it doesn't say so on the HUD but you can tell by her voice.
It does like fast CPUs on Linux.

Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
