    Don't Starve truly stands as an excellent iPad game filled with dread and fun, terror and laughter (Wilson is quite funny),

    Especially at the beginning Don’t Starve is ruthlessly addictive and the only thing that saves you from starving to death while plying it is the fact that it also ruthlessly devours device’s battery. [09/2015, p.68]

    Don’t Starve is unlike anything I’ve played before and I can’t stop myself from playing it. It’s frustrating as hell at times–finally getting farms built and then getting eating by roving hounds comes to mind–but I can’t turn it off.

    Controls work very well on mobile. Exploration of this original world and crafting its bizarre items make for a very enjoyable gameplay loop.
