There is something special about Don’t Starve. A constant through the years of Don’t Starve has been that people don’t just want to conquer the world of Don’t Starve they want to do it together. Since the beginning, players have been expressing their desire to experience this world together with their friends, family, and especially their significant others. Overall, it might be a fun game in singleplayer (if you like this genre) but for multiplayer and especially if you both are beginners it's just a certain way to ruin your evening.Don’t Starve has always been about being hungry, afraid, alone, and - most importantly - the people who play the game. And after death, map rotation gets randomzied again until you pick up the compass from your corpse! Players could walk as a group but that makes little sense because we're basically competing for resources and it's more efficient to gather alone. I finally made a compass, but it has limited usage time. You don't even see each other on the map unless you're very close! Half of our time was wasted trying to find each other! We had to sit next to each other, and even when looking at her map on her screen, it was still difficult to figure out where I needed to go to find her cuz of the mental rotations I had to apply. Players in the party get maps which are rotated at different angles. Something you can't know in advance or expect if you just sit with a gf to play something new and funĤ. Literally thousands of tiny things to remember - which you can only find out through dozens of replays. "7 dogs spawn but if you use a wormhole and then teleport back, they despawn", "bees become angry in spring even if they are in your hive, they will attack you but you need to run away 2 screens and run back and they will reset" and stuff like that. Just watch any letsplay video and see how many micro-rules are here. My character was just running around trying to chop a tree while I was trying to click on the running enemyģ. Just imagine how torturous this is when you play with a gf and both of you don't know this game. Moreover, all the overapping tress, bushes etc make you give wrong orders during fights. This works for resource gathering (though it only tells you later in a random loading tip that you need to hold the mouse button to chop trees, not click). The game doesn't tell you to use keyboard, instead it enourages you to click on things. To PLAY, not watch hours of videos firstĢ. Sorry but that's not how games should work. You really can't play it unless you watch videos online about it. Then I watched some 2-hour long "for beginners" video on YouTube, kinda got interested in this game during the first 10-15 minutes of the video, got tired after that and finally lost interest entirely.ġ. We had a tiring, unrewarding evening with it, then she tried it on her own 2 times (full-night stretches) with little success, just went to bed in bad mood. Only purchased this one because of the seasonal discount and because my gf and I wanted to play something together. First off, I'm not a fan of Minecraft-like (Robison-type survival) games though I played Don't Starve and Minecraft 10+ years ago for a couple of days. It's a multiplayer version of Don't Starve. Also, only buy this if at least one of you knows the game well!
