    Nifty premise and cool art style. I even enjoyed the simple exploration...at first. But the lack of guidance meant feeling totally lost the entire time, and constant permadeaths that didn't feel fair. Worst of all, it took forever to restart the game after dying -- at least if the cycles were quick, you could feel like you were learning and progressing. Deleted this after a couple of hours.

    A working, serviceable port of Klei's charming survival adventure. [Issue #16 – July/August 2015, p.27]

    Don't Starve: Giant Edition fills a gap you didn't even know the Wii U had. It's a great indie title, but it's also incredibly challenging, which may be a turn off to some. This game doesn't hold your hand, which is great in this day and age.

    Beneath what I had originally found so interesting I found a game frustratingly vague, that held for me no wonder, nothing that drove me to want to explore or survive.
