![]() Build a bunch of expensive machinery in order to benefit yourself and your girlfriend and ensure the continuation of your lives and then allow her to approach the machinery? Dead. Fail to make a garland of flowers to wear? Dead (after a period of insanity). Run to your girlfriend before nightfall because she said that she has enough torch life to survive the night? Dead. Stand too close to a harmless looking toad? Dead. Forget to build a fire before nightfall? Dead. Well, Don’t Starve Together really fits the bill. ![]() I personally love games that have that constant threat of loss hanging over the player’s head. I’ve not had so much fun dying in a game since a guy in Battlefield 3 called me an intellectually impaired primate enthusiast (in significantly more vulgar terms) and I spent the rest of the twenty minute game flying my jet into his helicopter at every opportunity (he started it!) while cackling madly. Diving into Don’t Starve Together just ends in death. We don’t look at strategy or crafting guides, we don’t look at enemy types, hints, tips, whatever. We tend to go into games like these with very little preparation. Giant, giant legged eyeballs? Giant, legged, eyeball giants? Giant eyeballs with giant legs? Whatever, they are big and so are their legs. Seriously, giant, legged eyeballs are a thing. We’ve started about fifteen games in the past month and it feels as though that, despite learning exponentially more about the game, we still survive a few days on a knife edge before finally losing balance and succumbing to a giant, legged eyeball or something. Don’t Starved is an absolute crap-fest of death and despair. ![]() We decided to try the game out for our first time.ĭid I mention that the game is brutal? Like, seriously. Since their initial releases, DS & DST have been updated with a whole bunch of content and expansions and whatnot. The co-op version of Klei Entertainment’s well received 2013 open world survival rogue-like Don’t Starve, Don’t Starve Together is a brutal adventure into a nightmarishly exuberant world full of spiders and manure, flowers and demons. If you like difficulty and frustration mixed with mutual blame, then do what Sandra and I did this month and play Don’t Starve Together. Oh, and there will definitely be made up words at some point. So, if you are looking to start gaming with your significant other, already do so, or just like reading the inept ramblings of some random, barely coherent dude as he talks about nothing, then continue. The bunch of words below will contain a combination of recommendations, casual reviews, critiques, musings, opinions and maybe even a funny/cute/awkward/weird story or two. The aim is to be informative without taking this whole thing too seriously. © 2015 Frozenbyte, Inc.I play a lot of games.
