    The soundtrack for the game is pretty good, fits the art style well. The graphics are a great hand drawn look. I think there is supposed to be a story, but I am not good enough at the gamne to get to the story bits. The gameplay was fun to play with friends, although quite hard without using a wiki. I feel like the game would take me way to long to get to a point where I could be fine with saying I have completed it. I do like it as a multiplayer game to play with your friends for a little bit.

    Immaculate game with an extraordinary art style. Very challenging, amazing survival mechanics, extremely fun to play with friends. Nice soundtrack.

    Nice survival-sandbox-game, but sadly gets quite boring after a while. Graphics and technical execution are done right, game performs well and controlling the character feels smooth most of the time.

    Don't Starve Together, é um jogo de sobrevivência onde seu ponto forte é a cooperação com outros jogadores.

    First things first this game is very unforgiving to the uninitiated, rookie players that know very little to nothing about ‘DST’. So I would recommend playing at least an hour or two of playing on your own in a private server world, before trying to play with others (and as always check the wiki, which is about half the gameplay right there).

    A second recommendation would be to play with mods such as map and item tooltip mods that really help out the old and new player (and really should have been in the base game but Klei went and did a Bethesda) and they don’t break the gameplay from the original gameplay mechanics and are client side only so you don’t need to run the server, (if you’re a purist). You can also add more if you just want to play for fun casually and improve the gameplay experience, which mainly needs to be placed into the server by the host (so no official server).

    Lastly I would recommend having friends to play with on a private server because every Co-Op multiplayer experience is better when you can coordinate, work ‘together to survive’ and help each other to build your camp (especially during the winter season in the game). It’s also just fun, because typically on your own you will end up dying a lot from animal attacks, and season changes, long nights (a main reason people stop playing, though death is a gameplay mechanic within DST).

    So I recommend the game but only if you’re willing to learn the ins and outs of the game and ‘practice’ with trial and error.

    Pros: Atmosphere, Art, Late Game Gameplay
    Cons: Unexplained gameplay mechanics, Lack of tooltips/Tutorial    … Expand

    I must be one of the only few people who is not enthusiastic about Don't Starve. I definitely recognise it has a lot of qualities. Nice hand-drawn graphics, a real universe of its own with funny characters and monsters and a lot of imagination. The concept itself is original: a mixture of craft and survival with a strong emphasis on the survival part, rather than on the building part.

Nice hand-drawn graphics, a real universe of its own with funny characters and monsters and a lot of imagination. The concept itself is original: a mixture of craft and survival with a strong emphasis on the survival part, rather than on the building part. And you can play it multiplayer, that's great !

    So why the thumb down ? Well in this kind of game, the aspect I usually like is the building part. You farm, you collect, you build, and you let your own imagination decide how your camp is going to look like, what gears you're gonna craft to go hunting, etc. However, the very core of the game is the constant pressure that you have little time to gather food, handle your health, mental health and hunger at the same time, and still build the things that are necessary to survive the winter and the monsters. Consequently, the creative part is totally overshadowed by the need to survive (at least for low-level players like me).

    Furthermore, the game, from its title to the essence of its gameplay, cynically pushes you to see how long you can survive, because you'll eventually die, it is just a matter of when and how. And surviving is merely rewarded by your score, i.e., the number of days you spend before dying. The worst part for me is the absence of Steam achievement to motivate me to try and try again. I die ? Well I can launch a new game, but maybe just to die a little later, which means at best discovering a few more mobs or objects and... that's it. Well, sorry guys but that can't keep me motivated.

    Not a bad game by any mean, but not oriented towards creativity, and not rewarding enough for me.    … Expand

    This game is great to play with friends and is fairly fun , however the perma-deaths really ruin it for me and make an early game slip up force me and my friends to make a whole new world .

    Игра в принципе неплохая но 1 играть долго неинтересно быстро надоедает. Интересные мобы с уникальной рисовкой. Много персонажей на выбор и каждый уникален по своему!

О сюжете многова не скажешь,он проявляется моментами и не столь интересен.Ну вот с разнообразие и геймплеем все в разы лучше. Гемплей заставляет выживать и думать о дальнейшем. По иному не как,ведь с приходом смены времени года, ты понимаешь что абсолютно не готов выживать. Я наиграл не малых 66 часов и от души смог наиграться сам, а так же и с друзьями. Даже если друга нету в сети то можно подключиться к рандомному лобби. За столько часов мне не надоело собирательство ресурсов,они всегда были подкреплены приключениями и разными происшествиями. Не говоря про моды которые облегчают игровой процесс так же и усложняют. Вариация модификаций радует и при том постоянно увеличивается. Я считаю игра подходит как и для соло приключения так же и для собрания с друзьями. Графика не замысловата и приятна для глаз. Никаких особых минусов нету,только смерть. Ведь когда проживаешь дней 100 погибаешь и не всегда охотно возвращаешься сразу. Игра все таки не на постоянную основа а, на раз в недельные похождения в часов 4-9.
    Итог советую игру для любителей развлечься с друзьями и узнать что-то новое.    … Expand

    The one major flaw with this game is that dying make you restart the entire run like hardcore mode.

    it has no objectives... like your cast into the wilderness and thats it, you have no objectives, no place to go, all there is is to see how long you can survive...

    Gameplay just feels bland after some game time, gets boring quickly. But ultimately its a coop game you can enjoy with your friends.

    Really popular game which is beautiful in its way and fun for some people but I didn't really have a fun experience. If I could describe this game using 1 word it would be "Frustration". I feel like the game should be doing a better job in explaining things and be little more forgiving in first couple days of playtime. Maybe I had to "Git gud" but honestly the experience has been soReally popular game which is beautiful in its way and fun for some people but I didn't really have a fun experience.

    The game is as well-designed and polished as the original Don’t Starve, but of course your reception of Together depends on who you play it with. [07/2016, p.65]

    Don’t Starve Together takes the terrific game that it’s predecessor is known to be and builds up a whole new structure around the original that really opens up a lot of different ways of, well, not starving.

    Don't Starve Together does little to fix the original's glaring problems, but still, conquering the wilderness together with friends is a lot of fun.
