Don't Starve

Me encanta, es un juego que deja enganchado realmente, si tienes tiempo libre lo recomiendo

Liked it so far pretty much, lovely art style, pretty hard but a fun hard, lot to learn!

Buggy Sandbox always ends with power over-draw by Windows Problem Reporting long after game has frozen, requiring hard reboot.

Very very difficult if you're going in blind. It's fun though; very enjoyable and has nice progression.

I bought this game because it was on sale, and it totally exceeded my expectation-i'ts so good! I absolutely love it!

load up game right after download, make torch, use torch when night come, sett stick on fire, immedietly scramble as you die in picthblackness. 10 out of 10 would die again.

Don’t Starve (and later Don't Starve Together) is one of the first games my best friends (meanwhile husband) and I ever played together, so it holds a special little place in my heart by default. ♥

On top and aside of the sentimental value, it really is just an amazing game.

A gloomy, gothic survival game where everything wants to eat you, haunt you, or drive you insane, but somehow it still manages to be charming.

Don’t Starve Together is the multiplayer version of Don’t Starve, retaining the same core survival mechanics, but with added emphasis on cooperation and shared survival. While Don’t Starve focuses on single-player, where you manage resources, hunger, and sanity alone, Don’t Starve Together allows you to team up with others to tackle the game's challenges.

With its papercut art style, creepy sound design, and ever-expanding world of strange flora, fauna, and seasonal chaos, there’s always something new to discover (or shit your pants about, it’s 50/50 really). Whether you're cosily huddled around a fire on the first night or running away from shadow monsters while desperately collecting flowers to keep your sanity, it’s the kind of game you keep playing. The game might be called Don’t Starve, but starving is the least of your problems. Trust me.

I'll be honest: I am terrible at this game. I die a lot. But it’s the kind of dying that feels weirdly fun, like you earned it. Deserved it. Would like to do it again. There's just something magical about scrambling through the wilderness with friends, helping each other, sharing berries, and screaming about hounds - or just going the complete opposide way, losing each other and then dying apart together.

i really enjoy this game and the rather complex gameplay is what i love. i personally play with mods because i like seeing ym fav character

i mean its an good and old game but its boring as hell, also i have problems with surviving a night

It's not really good but you can enjoy the game for what it already is.
The game is very simple: survive and find a way home.

I do love how there are so many characters to unlock. Just...SO MUCH WALKING!

very comfy game, cool lore, and awesome characters

I Don’t Know What I’m Doing and That’s Why I Love It! Nyaa~

I have no idea what I’m doing 90% of the time.
The game told me not to starve and I said, “Okay!”
Then I starved.
Then I got chased by tree monsters.
Then I got punched by a pig.
Then I started a war between pigs, spiders, and what I think were sea gremlins with legs??

And I loved every second of it, nyaaa~

There's something magical about throwing random creatures into a blender of violence and running away with your pockets full of monster meat. Sometimes I build a base. Sometimes it burns down. Sometimes I forget where it is entirely.

The art is creepy-cute, the music sounds like it came from a haunted accordion, and the game is never really clear on what’s happening—just like my life.

Would I recommend it?
Yes.
Do I know how to survive past Day 12?
Absolutely not.

10/10 would cause another pig-spider-merfolk war just to watch it unfold with popcorn and existential dread.

Great game with fantastic art and rich survival mechanics. I'm likely just bad nowadays, but I found the gameplay rather routine—it's still good though.

I don't like games where I feel like I'm forced to do bad things. The humanoid pigs in the game are neutral and can speak. There's really not justification to kill them, but many crafting recipes require items obtained by killing the pig people or destroying their houses.

My other complaint about the game is that it is extremely unforgiving when learning. I feel like several of my deaths were just because it was the first time I encountered a new monster, event, food, etc. I know I could brute force my way through by playing and dying lots of times, but I would have to invest far too much time learning that way. One way to address this issue at least with foods would be to clearly explain whether or not a food is going to hurt the character (e.g., +10 hunger, -10 health).

My third issue is that it's not clear how much damage weapons are doing. It's hard to tell if one item is better or worse than another.

Inventory management is a pain. If I'm in my base I should have access to all my items in all nearby chests for crafting rather than constantly digging through different chests.

perfect game: perfect atmosphere, perfect design, perfect realism.

i've been playing for years and it's always a fun challenge! the art style and sound design is absolutely delightful.

This game is great, I had 300 hours on Don't Starve Together before I first played it, it's an awesome experience for me since so much of my time in DST was spent playing alone. I did not play it with any DLCs enabled and my expectations were that I'd start playing with RoG after I survive through the winter, I ended up building a lot of cool stuff and refined my base a lot. It really made me a lot more creative to not have a lot of bosses/places to explore.
Adventure mode was really fun and as an experienced don't starve player I managed to beat it with only a single death, it is really worth your time and I recommend playing it once you wish to not play on your world no longer!
For me, it might be time for reign of giants so see you later!

It's not just Don't Starve it's:
-Don't go insane
-Don't starve (its in the name)
-Don't let all the monsters trying to kill you kill you
-Don't die to your inner demons
-Don't die to the night
And more 10/10

Iconic art style
interesting creepy-crawlies
the SECOND you think you're all set and can relax, it throws something new at you for you to account for and it's... it's as rewarding as it is frustrating to play

loved it!
first played on my mobile. liked it very much. am playing on bigger screen now.
I've tried both Terraria and DS. But somehow didn't like Terraria much.

Amazing music, graphics, and performance. Only problem I have is Shipwrecked. Overall, good game.

The game may be finished and won't receive any updates anytime soon but that doesn't mean that it doesn't provide an amazing, uncompromising survival experience.
There are also 3 dlcs that amazingly expand upon the base game

An absolute gem of a survival game. Seriously the 2D hand drawn style of Don't Starve is so unique I haven't found another game that looks as good. The gameplay loop is super unique too with a decently high skill ceiling.

Fun and very challenging. Fast paced. A game I keep going back to.

Unforgiving at times, but Don't Starve is a classic and well-rounded game that relies on you finding out how things work yourself. I saw Yogscast play it back in the day and I've been with the product since early access in 2013 and I've loved watching the dev team continue to put in hard work into the game, adding seasons, caves, bosses, and more over the years. The modding scene is huge where you'll find fantastic quality of life and new features alike. I prefer the original game over DST just for the mods which break less often and I personally like it a bit better, especially since DS includes Shipwrecked and you can still play with Reign of Giants enabled if you want. It's my favorite top-down 2D survival and sanity management can be a real yet fun challenge, especially for first-time players who have no clue what effects it. 10/10.

I haven't even discovered all of what Don't Starve has to offer mainly because its difficulty but it's a really cool survival game and I just love the game art and theme. The fact that you just don't get any clue on how to play the game, it makes for a real adventure, you'll have a lots of fun with this one. And once you mastered the core of the game you could try the expansions as well

I genuinely forgot how awesome this game is, i actually found it back in the day when i had a really bad PC and looked for some good low spec video games, and Don't Starve was number 1 on the list, i check it out and instantly fell in love, i love survival games probably more than any other gaming genre so this game is really a must have, and the price isn't even bad it's less than 10 bucks.

this is a survival game off the back of minecraft, yet it just does its own thing. there is lots of ways to play this game, but its all about survival. every day feels like you can go out and do something new. there is a very real sense that you dont belong here and that the world is hostile. but if you go deep enough and try hard enough. you can master this world and become what is essentially a god. you will die lots, so be prepaired. and remember dont starve

Such a hard game. I haven't learned much but how to die fast and hard very simple look and feel but a hell of a learning curve for me it's fun as hell and it's easy to get lost in the gameplay playing it on the steam deck is great

ngl after coming back to singleplayer on my new steam account i dont wanna get any of the dlcs cuz ik they alter regular mode as well and i want that nostalgia value from the og ds with no dlc changes

been playing this games for years, its one of the 1st indie games i bought and its one of the best ones to come out of early 2010s indie games and still holds up to this day. now i know what your thinking, you only have 2.3 hrs on record as of making this review and yes i do, but i have gotten this game on, ps3 1st, ps4 it was one of the 1st ever games i bought on it and i played it while i waited for my free copy of d1 to download, ps vita, switch, ios back when i had a iphone and android. its one of those games that just so good you cant help but give the devs the money and its always priced fairly and hasn't been increased in price with its growth like so many other indie games, its always $10 to $20 which is more then fair imo. the only downside i can think of is it can have a bit of learning curve but once you get going ( even if you suck at the combat like i do ) its gets good even if it can get a bit easy but if you mess around your not getting away for free. if you like what you see pick it up if you don't then don't.

It's too hardcore for me. Death means starting all the way over again. Too repetitive. I can't even fathom doing boss battles because if you die, your save file is done. Not for the faint of heart.

A tough but rewarding survival game with a cool hand-drawn art style and tons of weird creatures

Its Very Fun and it has a lot of character also if your tried of the Normal game there's a lot of DLC also don't get mad if you die this game is trial and error.

Interesting solo survival game with fun graphics. I enjoyed my time playing this game.. until i died from starvation on the first winter.

Ah yes, the game that started it all. The sequel, coop version Don’t Starve Together wins the hearts of many Klei fans, but all isn’t lost for the original Don’t Starve. This game still provides the same visuals, characters, and randomly generated worlds that challenges our survival skills. The only real difference is we’re mostly playing as Wilson and have a more linear progression and goals in the game for the story mode.

This game also has the Shipwrecked DLC which let’s us play as pirates and drive a ship with cannons. That’s something the coop version doesn’t have.

Overall, I wouldn’t toss this game out the window just because it lacks the challenges and multiplayer feature that Don’t Starve Together has. Don’t Starve still fulfills the survival experience for solo players, with just as much mischief and chaos!

Yes, yes, I've got hundreds of hours in it. But, even when you can handle them, the constant attacks from hounds and other nuisances eventually become tiresome. You deal with the attack, clean up the mess, then it seems like you only get a few minutes clear before the next wave. The balance between getting stuff done and routine survival is a little bit too harsh, and sometimes crosses past the edge of what I find enjoyable. I do like the early challenge of getting set up, but either the grind eventually gets to me and it gets boring or I make a careless mistake and die. You never really get a chance to stop and chill, and I miss that. All work and no play, sort of thing.

just play don't starve together because its pretty much the same exact game but with multiplayer. i love this game and got it because i have 100+ hours on xbox but this version is kind of unnecessary and it doesn't have any achievements.

This is downright amazing. The art is amazing, and you can costomize your world! the add-onns are reccomended

Great game, the art is fun, its still somewhat difficult, but it is a good cozy(ish) game to play and then wonder where the time went. Its fun and satisfying to play and all the different characters are fun to try out too.

I played it while i was younger and now rediscovered it. Back then I was scared to fight the mobs that looked scary and didn't quite get the mechanics of the game, so I died often. Now that I'm older its easier to play since I'm not scared of mobs and I understand the game more. 10/10 would recommend.

Personally the only survival game I actually get enjoyment out of, A great artstyle, OST, and cheap dlc that makes the game more fun

Really fun so far. Some of it feels very tedious.

Very fun! Modding community is lovely and there's a lot to do in-game (you don't even need to follow the story line to enjoy). The story itself is full of a lot of cool puzzles and challenges if you end up going that route.

old but solid survival game, lots of neat stuff to find too

Love the vibe, but I keep bouncing off from it because of the repetive and slow gameplay. Should probably give the multiplayer version a chance, some day.

# Don't Starve Review: A Haunting Tale of Survival

Don't Starve is a brilliantly unforgiving survival game that combines Tim Burton-esque gothic art with punishing roguelike mechanics. Developer Klei Entertainment has crafted a unique experience that manages to be both whimsical and deeply unsettling.

## Artistic Vision
The game's hand-drawn art style immediately catches the eye with its Edward Gorey-inspired aesthetic. Characters and creatures are rendered in a distinctive sketchy style, while the world features a dark, Victorian-gothic sensibility. The attention to detail extends to the animations, which maintain a puppet-like quality that enhances the game's eerie atmosphere.

## Survival Mechanics
At its core, Don't Starve is about managing multiple survival needs simultaneously. Players must:
- Maintain hunger, health, and sanity meters
- Gather resources to craft tools and structures
- Navigate dangerous environments and hostile creatures
- Plan for changing seasons that dramatically affect gameplay

The game excels at creating tension through its interlocking systems. Every decision carries weight – do you risk exploring at night to find crucial resources, or play it safe and potentially miss out on valuable items?

## World and Story
The game's world is procedurally generated, ensuring each playthrough feels fresh. While there isn't a traditional narrative, the environment tells its own story through environmental storytelling and mysterious set pieces. Players piece together the dark tale of Maxwell, the world's mysterious overseer, through subtle clues and careful observation.

## Learning Curve
Don't Starve's difficulty is perhaps its most defining feature. The game offers minimal guidance, expecting players to learn through trial and error – often with fatal consequences. While this can be frustrating for new players, it makes each discovery and survival milestone feel genuinely rewarding.

## Content and Replayability
The base game offers:
- Multiple playable characters, each with unique abilities
- Extensive crafting system with hundreds of items
- Seasonal challenges that force adaptation
- Various biomes with distinct resources and threats
- Hidden content that rewards exploration

## Technical Performance
The game runs smoothly across platforms, with minimal loading times and stable performance. The simple yet effective UI makes inventory management and crafting intuitive once learned.

## Pros:
- Distinctive, atmospheric art style
- Deep, interconnected survival mechanics
- High replay value
- Rewarding learning experience
- Regular content updates and strong mod support

## Cons:
- Steep initial learning curve
- Can feel punishing for casual players
- Limited direct narrative
- Some mechanics remain obscure without external research

## Verdict
Don't Starve earns a 9/10 for its unique blend of artistic vision, challenging gameplay, and deep mechanics. While its difficulty may deter some players, those who persist will find one of the most rewarding survival experiences in gaming. The game's influence can be seen in many subsequent survival games, and it remains a benchmark for the genre years after its release.

This is a game that doesn't just ask you to survive – it dares you to thrive in its hostile world. For players willing to embrace its challenges, Don't Starve offers an unforgettable journey into a darkly beautiful wilderness.

fantastic worldbuilding, artstyle and gameplay mechanics. good game.
