Review: Don t Starve PS4

Every character in the Don't Starve franchise has some unique quirks. Wormwood loves to plant things and can plant without a farm, Wendy has her twin sister's ghost follow her everywhere, and Maxwell is able to manage his sanity quite eas
And then you get cocky and decide to attack the wrong monster. Or an unexpected swarm of bats invades the camp, or Nintendo Switch release date a surprise tentacle in the swamp, or maybe you weren't quite so prepared for winter as you thought you were. Death isn't truly inevitable, but it's going to take a whole lot of dying to learn how not to do it any more. Then it's time to choose who you want to play as this time, roll up a new world, and start all over again with, hopefully, a better plan.


Wendy is haunted by her dead twin sister, Abigail. Obsessed with her to the point of talking to her frequently, Wendy can summon Abigail’s ghost to fight alongside her in combat. This is helpful in beating mobs of monsters and keeping Wendy safe. But why is Wendy so obsessed with her late sister and unable to move on? The text from the loading screen involving Wendy states that she "clings fiercely to the grief over her sister’s death" because she’s afraid that moving on would make her forget Abigail. That makes her depressing character seem less weird, but certainly sad


Based on his quotes when he examines items, gets hurt, and attacks monsters, it's safe to assume that Warly was once a chef living in France. Some of Warly's quotes are French words and when he kills a spider, he says that he hopes it doesn't start to rain after he kills them, something that is a reference to an old superstition that killing a spider in your home will cause rain to c


Fresh Fruit Crepes restore 60 health, 150 hunger and 15 sanity points. This means it absolutely blows most other recipes right out of the water. Even the amazing meaty stew only shares the hunger restoration. You can also freely use durian to reach the desired fruit value. The main disadvantage, of course, is that you must play as Wa

Red Barrel games hold the torch for the horror genre and have shown that truly wonderful and remarkably well-produced experiences that focus on dis-empowering rather than empowering players can be profitable and popular. The AAA world has plenty to learn from their exam


Warly is one of the characters that Klei released an animated short to introduce. These animated shorts are a good way of seeing what the character's life was like before they found themselves in The Constant and show off their personality and gameplay st

The main issue many might have with Don't Starve it that you need to make your own goals. There's no "go here do this" to the game, nothing pointing you in the right direction. You get resources by harvesting them from the world, craft them into items, use them to harvest more resources that then get turned into new items to help you live longer. You need to keep on top of health, hunger, and sanity, and there's no instructions on how to do this outside of the obvious "eat food" and "don't get hit". Everything else is trial and error or a quick trip to an FAQ.


Permadeath gaming has seen a huge resurgence over recent years. Giving players a single life or character with which to complete the game, games with permanent death as a mechanic are notoriously difficult, tasking players with keeping upmost concentration throughout their playthrough. More often than not, attempts may end in tears – but that won’t stop players from trying their hand once m


You play as an astronaut stranded on the space station Theseus, a research facility studying a group of rocks that may or may not offer intelligent life called 'The Watchers'. To navigate the space station, players must solve puzzles using the Swapper, a device that can replicate a person several times. It works in a similar fashion to Portal , but instead of creating portals, you are making clones that all move at exactly the same t


The game isn't for every gamer, but if you are looking to escape reality and visit a pixelated haven, it is hard to look further than Proteus . As you explore, you will find a progression that you may find touching and profound in its simplicity, but really that is just an added bonus for getting to spend time in a digital E


When you do make this delectable treat you'll be restored 60 points of health, 37.5 hunger and 5 sanity. This differentiates this treat from many other food items because of how good it is at restoring your health. The main downside to this recipe is that the drop rate for butter is a pathetic 2% per butter


It's a good thing that Warly loves to cook because he gets hungry faster than other characters in the game. That means that if you're heading out any distance from your camp, you should consider taking your portable crockpot with you in order to cook something up on the


Woodie is one of two characters that can change their form; if he chops down too many trees too quickly, or if the moon is full, he will become a "Werebeaver." But this form is more useful than you might think. The sanity, health, and hunger meters disappear when Woodie is in his Werebeaver form, meaning that effectively if he were to stay in that form, he could survive indefinitely. He wouldn’t even need food or items to help heal him — he could simply live forever. But beware, the "naughtiness" score still applies and Krampus can still come after
