Don't Starve Together

One of my top five games all time, it's just so amazing and the art style is so unique I love it. If you're thinking of buying this game do so, you won't be let down. It's hard yes, but that makes it even more fun and rewarding. Beautiful game.

10/10 – My blood boils with every gameplay, but I still love it and keep coming back for more. It’s like Minecraft, but better—with waaay better graphics!

turned on fullscreen and the game split across both my monitors, could not reach the edit button to change it. basic features like fullscreen should not be broken

some mods dont work :(
hey atleast the base game is good
I had to find out which mods were not good but yeah
Vanilla is still always fun!

Quite confusing at first but enjoyable as you learn to understand it

if you'd ever want a game that is actually hard even when you know what to do, this is the one. Recommend to have a run at the single player version first, Dont Starve, as it gives a great intro to this one.
Funn and scary survival, recommending it with all my heart

It's hard to leave an appropriate review.
Don't Starve Together is a multiplayer sequel to the singleplayer Don't Starve - so it build upon the solid and enjoyable foundation laid by its predecessor. It is also a game that has been regularly updated throughout the years - so there were a lot of good additions and changes made.
Therefore, for a new player looking to put 7-70 hours into a game and maybe play with friends, Don't Starve Together will be a gem of a survival game, albeit a bit difficult to get into due to the game not really holding the player's hand. However to players that get immersed with this world, fall in love with the artstyle, music and the characters, they will find a game that is continuing to grow without much direction.

As someone who loved this franchise since its singleplayer days, I'd say that the past 3 years worth of updates have actively made Don't Starve Together a less enjoyable experience. New stuff gets added but then it is left to rot, rather than being polished and expanded upon.
The foundations laid by the singleplayer offered an uncompromising survival where players had to deal with hostile creatures, weather, lack of resources. Nowadays almost every problem comes in the form of an enemy who you need to kill. There's no variety in content added nowadays - it's all just raid bosses or regular enemies, no environmental or otherwise different types of obstacles to overcome. The developers have also long since strayed away from the 'uncompromising' aspect of the game. There's plenty of items and structures that, for the lack of a better word, just solve problems which otherwise were an integral part of gameplay. For the game called 'Don't Starve Together' it's rather ironic how many food sources and food preservation items have been added throughout the years.

Don't Starve Together is a game with great foundations but the last 3 years of updates have turned it into a bloated mess which the developers struggle to fix as they seem to enjoy adding new content rather than polishing the content already added

Don’t Starve Together is a blast! The quirky art style, fun survival mechanics, and unpredictable world(?) make each playthrough exciting. Playing with friends adds a whole new level of challenge and fun as you team up to survive the wilderness. There’s always something new to discover, and the constant updates keep it fresh. If you love quirky, challenging games, this one’s definitely worth checking out!

You have to set up your settlement, keep yourself alive and sane, plus you get to fight monsters. I don't care for building in games, but this one is a lot of fun to play with friends.

I love this game. I love this franchise.

The art style is beautiful, and the gameplay can be as difficult or as easy as you want it to be. You can customize your world how you like, and there are mod options that improve quality of life. A wide variety of characters are available as well, which can accommodate how you play. It’s slow-paced yet stressful—but only because every second counts. That’s where the difficulty lies: in a slow and steady pressure that builds up over time... unless you’re not a perfectionist.

I love the soundtrack. It’s cute and catchy, and it doesn’t play constantly to the point where it gets annoying. How much you enjoy the game will depend on your playstyle, but it’s exciting to go in blind and discover things on your own. You can always Google stuff later—or whenever you start getting mad, LOL. Resource and time management are key parts of the game, especially early on. So if you like planning ahead and strategizing, you’ll probably enjoy it a lot.

I haven’t experienced any bugs or major issues, so I don’t have many complaints at all. The crafting menu does bother me sometimes—I find it a bit small and cluttered, but it’s not that bad. (For reference, I play on a 15.6” laptop.)

Whether you plan on getting both games or not, I’d suggest starting with this one since you can play solo. I'm a big fan of the original game. Don’t Starve is simpler than Don’t Starve Together, but just for practicality’s sake, I’d still recommend this one—unless you want a really simple and easy experience and don’t plan on playing with friends. I buy all of my games on sale, but after playing this for a while, I can wholeheartedly say it’s worth it at base price.

a TRUE survival game. Its design is not focused on progression or combat; everything you do in this game is to keep yourself from dying. Also, please make boss health scale with the amount of players.

Great little top down survival game if you have friends that are willing to mod it with you

• Claiming free daily cosmetics that you can sell on steam marketplace.
  
• Playing the guessing game on what to mod in to enhance the experience that everyone will enjoy from steam workshop.
  
• Pissing off giant creatures and bosses such as random trees that will kill you & your friends.
  
• Collecting cow s.h.i.t. to use for later endeavors, as if your some Amish field worker.
  
• Building mini bases and hoping you will have enough resources around you to last through winter.
  
[*]And possibly more.

Wow, I've played 365 hours on this game... That could have been 1 hour for an entire year. And yet, I have not lived long enough in this game to say I have mastered it's survival aspect and all the hostility in this game.

I HATE SUMMER in DST. Even Winter is better.

But if you are an Elden Ring masochist, this 2.5 D game is for you. Get ready to die a lot.

Don't Starve/Don't Starve Together is one of those titles that is so specifically unique that I would pretty much recommend anybody try it out. It's hard, it's punishing, but it's so distinctive and charming that I think most people will have decent fun with it regardless of the frustrating parts (there are many).

This game on sale is a steal I honestly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of rogue-like games and just want a good challenge with a couple of friends I have played 5 hours of the don't starve solo game and I loved it I can't wait to drag a friend into this game and explore the pain of starving together

This game is such a bloody miserable experience, but I love it.
A rather charming little survival game, with a giant world absolutely littered with progression barriers that you know nothing about, there's so much you need to find and craft in order to get to the next step in the journey, materials constantly jump from being abundant to being scarce, and dying is absolutely devastating, roaming for hours trying to find a revival point, or eventually just giving in and starting from scratch for the thousandth time.

What makes DST worth the hassle is the learning curve, like many survival games there's a lot to learn and discover on your own accord - once you surpass the roadblock you initially struggled with, there's a brand new one that stops you in your tracks until you figure it out days later.
Frustrating, be that as it may, but having friends along - hence Don't Starve Together, makes the experience a whole lot more fun, and you ain't putting down much for it; around two bucks for TWO copies on sale, and it can run great on low end hardware save potential overheating.
Definitely recommend this if you don't mind persevering through struggles constantly, that is the name of the survival game after all, and be sure to bring a friend or group of friends along.

This game is brutal. I wished it did a much better job at explaining it's mechanics. After so many deaths I just lose interest lol Not a bad game in any way, just not for me.

This game is a lot of fun and I spend way to many hours on this. Abigail is the best.

Game can be tough to start, but just look at the dont starve together wiki and youll be fine. Do not confuse it with the normal dont starve wiki as there are some differences between games.

It's really fun survival game to play with your friends. Basically what title say. Do not strave together with your friends. Importantly you need to survive and attack like other survival does. Recommeneded!

I have played DST for hundreds of hours on playstation so the current playtime isn't really accurate. The major downside of this game is you will probably need to watch a youtube guide or use the wiki to understand what you need to do. Once you understand though, this game is incredibly fun. There are tons of bosses with unique fighting patterns, seasonal advantages and disadvantages, hunger, sanity, and health to maintain, as well as the option to play solo or with a team. Some characters work really well together and they have their own benefits and downsides as well. I go out of my way to purchase most skin/belongings packs because I love how Klei handles micro transactions and I want to support this type of company as much as possible.

Haven't played much multiplayer, however this is a blast when running solo and the raid bosses are exceptionally rewarding when you defeat them. Uncompromising survival which will continue to challenge you, should you step up to it.

Am bad. Game still good. Strive get better. Very nice.

Don't Starve Together – Survive, Adapt, or Die Trying
Hours Played: 7.4

Don’t Starve Together is a brutal yet rewarding survival game where you and your friends must gather resources, fight off monsters, and endure the elements. The game’s unique art style, deep mechanics, and punishing difficulty make it a must-play for survival fans—but it can be overwhelming for newcomers.

The Good
✅ Beautiful Hand-Drawn Art Style – The dark, Tim Burton-esque visuals are unique and charming.

✅ Challenging & Rewarding Survival – Managing hunger, sanity, and health keeps you on edge.

✅ Tons of Crafting & Exploration – From building bases to fighting ancient creatures, there’s always something to do.

✅ Great Multiplayer Experience – Surviving with friends (or betraying them) adds a fun social element.

✅ Diverse Playable Characters – Each has unique strengths and weaknesses that change how you play.

The Bad
❌ Unforgiving for Beginners – Lack of tutorials makes the learning curve steep.

❌ Death Can Be Punishing – If you die early, it’s easy to feel useless while waiting for revival.

❌ Resource Management Can Feel Stressful – Juggling hunger, sanity, and weather can be overwhelming.

Final Verdict
With 7.4 hours, I’d say Don't Starve Together is an intense and rewarding survival experience that is best played with friends. If you enjoy challenging survival mechanics, cooperative gameplay, and a bit of chaos, this is worth diving into—just be ready to suffer before you thrive.

Rating: 8/10 – Tough but addictive survival fun! 🌿🔥

Game so good, I learned how to mod it (It's pain but fun)

This game is debatably as good as Red Dead Redemption 2 :D
But its in 2D, half the price, and it wont take a supercomputer to play

Survival game with amazing story done incredibly well
It has multiplayer with lots of public servers, I only play private servers with friends. But the game can be played alone
Has videos similar to TF2's "Meet The Team" videos to introduce you to characters and tease some lore which I love ^^

And if you buy the game you get a free copy of it to gift to a friend for free so you can play together which is so frikin cool!
And to me, it has tons upon tons of replayability as long as you don't mind harvesting resources

Its intentionally really difficult, but theres 5 different server playstyles you-
can create a world with, from "Relaxed" all the way to "Lights out" to make it easier/harder
However I recommend playing standard before any other server playstyle

You can also go into a worlds settings to reduce the amount, increase the amount, or completely remove whatever you want from the game. I usually leave it untouched though because I like the normal experience

Additionally you can add server or client-sided mods super easily to remove any features you dislike about the game or add features you would like to have in it (My favorite mods are Geometric Placement and Gesture Wheel since they don't change the game much, But theres plenty more that can change the game alot more if you want)

And lastly, don't google this or you'll get spoilers but there is a hidden message in the title for you to decipher. Good luck :3

Everybody needs to play this game. You can play it alone but with friends it's so much better (together, duh). It's hard to get bored, there's always something to do, plus the game gets regular updates which makes you constantly learn something new <333

This has to be one of my favorite games of all time. It's not without its flaws, but all-in-all an incredible experience.

This game isn't for everyone. Its mechanics are obtuse, poorly explained, and overly punishing. Without external help, you will likely learn the hard way for dozens of deaths before getting the hang of it. If you want a game with proper tutorials and consistent logic, one doesn't punish curiosity as often as it rewards it, you should likely look elsewhere.

If this sounds as fun to you as it is for me, you'll love this game. It's an experience that is challenging as it is rewarding. No other survival game scratches the same itch as DST, gives me the same sense of accomplishment.

This is an awesome game. That's it. The vibes are 10/10, the gameplay 10/10, the puns and odd references 11/10. If you like survival games then you should definitely buy it.

Note on the multiplayer aspect, this game can be played solo and if you find it to hard there is a server mod that will scale the boss HP to a more manageable level.

Lovely graphics and an intense story line with lots of progression. A little frustrating, but you continue to want to play more!

Lots of exciting and fun time playing with the public. Balanced game with indie and one of a kind elements, good plot with well thought update track.

Great game

-fun
-spooky
-cute characters
-good mods

This game is incredible. This review comes from experience from 3000 hours on Console, and almost a thousand on Steam.

This game has been around for a long time, so it’s become more of an old friend at this point.

Despite that, this game still gets updates to this day, and the devs are constantly listening to community feedback. Which could be rare these days.

If you never played this game before, seriously, you should buy it. You’ll have many experiences that you won’t forget.

My only heads up about this game is, it’s unforgiving for new people. If you need to, you can look up guides for it, but really you don’t need to. It’s just trial and error.

Once you get the mechanics down pat, this game is really fun to play.

100/10 everything in the game is good and there is a lot to learn and you have to be willing to do it

Don't Starve's multiplayer expansion is a wild ride into the unknown, where every tree chopped and crop planted feels like a victory against the cruel elements. The co-op mode adds a layer of camaraderie that enriches the survival experience, turning the usual solitude of the game into a chorus of laughter and strategic banter. While the difficulty remains true to the franchise's spirit, the ability to share resources and build together fosters a sense of community that is both heartwarming and intense. Be prepared for the unexpected, as the game's unpredictable nature ensures that no two adventures are alike. Whether you're a seasoned survivor or a beginner, the expansion offers a fresh set of challenges that will have you and your friends coming back for more. Just remember to pack your wits and a sense of humor, because you'll need both to thrive in this unforgiving world.

Good game, Just need more update. Played since 2015 RoG era and together is so far the best.

I've been playing since 2016, and it never gets boring! I love the graphics and the amazing community behind the game. I've made great friends along the way. Highly recommended!

907 hours on steam and many more on consoles. Been playing DST and DS since the Naughty and Nice way back when. Love this game and it's amazing devs whom I have met a few of!

A fun and challenging game to play with friends with a wide cast of characters and many things to do and learn

I love this game. There is a learning curve. I would recommend watching guides for surviving each season at the very least (there are a ton of guides on YT). I feel many people don't and grow frustrated with the game and give up. I think this game is rewarding and challenging. They are always updating the game with new things. I believe all the characters are in game unlockable. Though it would take a lot of grinding to get each one. Whenever you log in you get a gift (some kind of clothing item) and it gives you more as you play (I think there is a daily limit) once you get 2000 "threads" from taking apart the gifts (each typically giving 5-15+) you can "weave" a new character. Each character is very different and has good and bad traits, although some are much better than others or work better with specific others. I recommend playing with friends but can definitely be fun on your own. They also do special events or give free skins for holidays! Every time I play this game I learn something new. There is so much depths and different ways to play I recommend it to anyone willing to give it the time it takes to learn how to play!

I absolutely recommend this beast of a game. I owned it for many years on playstation prior to playing on steam.
I would LOVE if the developer would make it a little harder to accidentally regenerate your entire server and delete all your work with the click of a button...
Maybe add an ARE YOU SURE??

So much content all wrapped up into a game. If you want something new to spend hundreds of hours playing, this can be it pretty easily. You don't need friends to play it, but of course will be more fun if ya can. You can easily replay over and over.

In Don't Starve Together you can really craft your experience to be however you would like it do be. The game provides you with so many options upon world creation. This is very different from regular Don't Starve. Both have their benefits there. On that note, look into the other varieties such as Shipwrecked or Hamlet.
It's a very hard game to pick up and learn but it has kept me entertained for so many years if you can get past that learning curve.

I keep dying and it makes me want to snap my laptop in half. really great game tho! always something new that kills me instantly and i haven't even encountered any bosses yet. lots of content i love exploring :)

Newest update killed any enjoyment I had with this game. Can't even bother keeping it installed anymore. Unless big changes come, game isn't worth playing anymore, better off playing the original Don't Starve.

Very fun and fairly simple cooperative survival game. It has a good pace overall. The more people to play with the more fun it is. Many unique characters to choose from to play as. Lots of active players still play this game.

Really fun multi and single player game. If you ever want to beat this game (kill Celeste and Ancient Fuelweaver) I'd recommend using a guide/information source since this game doesn't provide a tutorial.

Very enjoyable, consistent updates, great lore and gameplay which there is so much of. So much in fact that I haven't even seen most of the content but if you get the hang of the game quickly you would probably need like 20 hours (maybe). Only bad things are that it takes a while to unlock the characters and it's hard when you don't know what you are doing which is intended. DO NOT LOOK UP A TUTORIAL, it's more fun if you don't and figure it out yourself.

The learning curve is very steep and not worth most people's time in this day and age. If you are feeling adventurous, you can still give it a try though.

[i]

Don't Starve Together is a unique survival game that is fun with friends, though gets same-y fast.

Every update to the game just adds so much more you can do, Great game, Fun to Play, Difficulty 100%
