The goal of Don't Starve Together is to find and fight all ~ 26 boss monsters, a lot of which can be more or less hidden. Two of these bosses are considered "final bosses" in the sense that killing them is the big accomplishment of two separate journeys with many different steps, one taking you deep in horribly dangerous underground dungeons and one taking you all around the sea. After each of these 2 bosses, new content is added in the form of new "post game" world modifications that each gives new bosses, new mechanics, new weapons, armor and technologies to use. I wanted to start by describing that because DST looks deceptively more simple than it truly is when you first take a look a it, when in truth it actually is quite complex, rich and intricate! In this game, surviving is tough and difficult and requires you to understand a lot of different specific steps, and understand how many resources are tied together. At first, it feels like learning to stay alive during each of the 4 seasons is the game, and it won't necessarily make you feel like it's super deep because it is actually only the first step. It's supposed to be simple and slow because surviving is just step 1 out of 15. Sure, you can survive without too much trouble in a kind of baren base with not so much stuff at your disposal. But that's not the goal ; it may work, but that crappy base will give you none of the tools you need to accomplish anything! Because if surviving is step 1 and meant to be simple, learning how to thrive is where the complexity starts. There are lots of different resources you can take from the world and bring back home, creatures who'se homes you can move, beneficial structures you can acquire, all kinds of things that are meant to saturate you in food, tools, weapons and armors so that you can get out there and explore the world, fight those bosses, make those journeys But the game never holds your hand through any of it at all. Learning can be really unclear and counter-intuitive (who would think that butterflies are the most basic and most essential source of food early game? No one, at first!) and every step of the way can make you think "is that it?" just because you will fail to see the link between things, or how you are meant to abuse the heck out of them, or how they are just stepping stones towards something bigger. It's a game that you just won't be able to enjoy if you can't challenge yourself, throw yourself out there, be active, be looking to learn and practice survival techniques and get busy trying to do things on a grander scale, or even just set out specific goals for yourself. Knowledge is difficult to acquire and everything is very challenging, so there may be a whole of "now what?" moments until you understand what the next steps can be. And if you don't know, you'll likely feel stuck and lost. And you'll become passive, and you'll become bored because you're nowhere near having completed all there is to complete, but you may not understand how and how to learn. All in all, I recommend this game with all of my heart with the knowledge that it really may not be for anybody, especially if you tend to be too passive or can't bother with putting too much effort into stuff. It's my own favorite survival game out there specifically because it gives survival so much purpose and so many steps, because of how much effort you can put into learning and how rewarding it can be. There's a lot of ways to achieve the same things. Tons of different knowledge, a bunch of different mechanics that you will likely gloss over for a couple hundred hours until you start using them and start realizing "why have I never bothered doing this awesome thing before" (like taming and riding big cows to become the ultimate war machine) There's fun in joining random worlds and seeing how you can contribute, fun in starting over and doing things better and quicker or in different order, fun in practicing the same skills because they're tough and it pays to practice, fun in seeing how everyone's lack of knowledge can create so many shenanigans due to lack of preparation, lack of resources, lack of having made enough structures in time, and fun in modding the game and tweaking the little things along the way. And it's *awesome*.

Players are thrown into a dark, eerie world filled with challenges and must cooperate (or compete) to survive. The game features a unique art style, intriguing lore, and demanding gameplay mechanics that test creativity and strategy. Story and Atmosphere The game’s lore is subtle yet engaging. Players are stranded in the Constant, a mysterious world filled with strange creatures and environmental hazards. The story unfolds through exploration and scattered clues, leaving much to player interpretation. The gothic hand-drawn art style and atmospheric music amplify the eerie, survival-focused tone. Gameplay At its core, the game is about survival—gathering resources, crafting items, and fending off dangers such as hunger, darkness, and hostile creatures. Multiplayer introduces new dynamics, requiring teamwork to split tasks, defend against threats, and manage limited resources. The challenge increases with changing seasons, each bringing unique obstacles like freezing winters or scorching summers. Pros [*]Unique Art Style: The hand-drawn, Tim Burton-esque visuals stand out. [*]Replayability: Randomized worlds and dynamic challenges keep the experience fresh. [*]Multiplayer Depth: Cooperative gameplay adds layers of strategy and fun. [*]Challenging Yet Rewarding: Success feels earned due to the game’s difficulty. Cons [*]Steep Learning Curve: The lack of hand-holding can overwhelm newcomers. [*]Resource Management Pressure: Balancing food, sanity, and health can feel repetitive. [*]Team Dependency: Multiplayer can frustrate if teammates are inexperienced or uncooperative. Final Don’t Starve Together is a creative and challenging survival experience that rewards teamwork and strategy. While it may not suit players seeking a casual experience, fans of survival games will appreciate its depth and charm. Score: 87/100i

Don't Starve Together has been more than just a game for me and my wife; it’s been a lifeline during some of the most challenging times in our lives. I still vividly remember the early days when we first started playing. We were going through a rough patch financially—barely able to afford the basics. Our pantry was sparse, and sometimes, dinner was nothing more than a modest meal we tried to stretch as far as possible. Yet, amidst all the stress, one thing brought us together: Don't Starve Together. This game wasn’t just about surviving in its own harsh, unforgiving world—it mirrored our real-life struggles. Each time we launched it, sitting side by side on our battered couch, we found a sense of comfort and unity. No matter how little we had in our pockets, the game gave us a world to escape into, one where we could face challenges together, laugh at the ridiculousness of our in-game deaths, and find solace in each other's presence. I remember one particularly tough evening when the bills had piled up, and we didn’t know how we’d make it through the week. Instead of giving in to the crushing weight of reality, we fired up Don’t Starve Together. For a few precious hours, the anxiety lifted, and we were just two characters scavenging for food and resources, facing dangers in the wilderness—but always together. That bond we shared in the game reminded us of our strength as a couple in real life. No matter how many times the darkness loomed or the hunger grew, we knew we could rely on each other. It wasn’t always dark times, though. There were moments of joy, too, when we’d overcome a real-life obstacle and would celebrate by diving into a longer gaming session. Those moments reminded us that even in the harshest environments—whether in the game or in life—there’s always room for love, laughter, and resilience. In many ways, Don’t Starve Together became our metaphor for life. The way we learned to manage resources, care for each other’s in-game characters, and strategize our next moves felt like practice for how we would tackle real-life challenges. Every successful winter we survived in the game, every boss we defeated, felt like a small victory that echoed into our reality. We were surviving, together, both in the game and in life. Today, when I think about those tough days, Don’t Starve Together stands out as a beacon of hope. It wasn’t just entertainment—it was a reminder that, even in the most difficult of times, we always had each other. We may have faced hunger, fear, and uncertainty, but in that game, we were unstoppable. And that feeling carried us through the darkest of days, reminding us of the resilience and love that keeps our family strong. EDIT It’s always amazing to reflect on how certain moments in life become intertwined with the games we play. As a small addition to my story, back in 2016, I shared something special that truly embodies the spirit of what I wrote about above. I won’t spoil it, but let’s just say it involves a hand-knitted piece from my wife—something that holds even more meaning if you know Don't Starve Together.

Playing Don’t Starve Together is like deciding to go camping with your friends, but none of you packed food, shelter, or any idea of how to survive in the wild. Instead of enjoying nature, you’re all running around trying to avoid starvation, monsters, and—worst of all—each other’s terrible survival skills. One minute you’re foraging for berries, the next you’re screaming because your buddy accidentally set the entire forest on fire while ‘just trying to cook some carrots.’ It’s like group therapy, but with more hunger, more screaming, and a lot more creative ways to die. 10/10 would starve again with these fools.
