I have never seen devs with worse ADHD, they will never stop adding content, they even added a boss in a "hotfix" This game is VERY hard, best enjoyed with lots of friends, and summer honestly sucks. You will need the wiki at every turn, and its fantastic.
Don’t Starve Together is technically built for co-op, but somehow I still lost hours playing it by myself. There is something weirdly addictive about being dropped into the wilderness with nothing, then slowly running around collecting resources, crafting tools, building a base, and trying not to die because you made one terrible decision at sunset. The art style is such a big part of the charm. It is creepy, cute, strange, and a little storybook-nightmare in the best way. Everything feels slightly hostile, even when it looks adorable. You are not just surviving nature. You are surviving nature if nature had a sketchy little grin and absolutely wanted you humbled. I liked the loop of gathering, building, exploring, and slowly figuring things out. Even solo, it was easy to sink into. One minute I was just collecting sticks and grass, and the next minute I had a whole little setup going and was suddenly emotionally attached to not losing it. It can be punishing, and the game absolutely does not care if you are having a peaceful time. Hunger, darkness, monsters, weather, sanity, bad planning, all of it can ruin your life very quickly. But that is also what makes it fun. Don’t Starve Together is charming, stressful, weird, and surprisingly easy to lose hours in, even without anyone else there to help cause problems. Sometimes the best co-op game is still just me, alone in the woods, building stuff and pretending I know what I am doing.
Honestly, I do not like this game because you do not have 1 minute in this game where you can chill. Chilling and careless exploration equals death in this game. I give it a positive review because, even tho this is not a game I enjoy, the game it self is well made and interesting for people who love those type of games.
