Don't Starve

A huge thanks to users @Kura, @Feardeer, and @Shazzbaa for this week’s recommendation! Your recommendations make this comic what it is – so keep them coming!
Don’t Starve follows Wilson, a gentleman scientist who finds himself on the wrong side of the Minecraft tracks. Rather than cutesy blocks and cartoonish mobs, you’re pitted against brutish enemies more than willing to enact a gruesome permadeath as they drive your character more and more insane. All in all, it’s a pretty cheerful game.
–Verdict–
Art: If Tim Burton decided one day to make a video game, he would come to find out that someone has beat him to it. The art, music, and even the animations exude a Burton-esque quality that makes Don’t Starve a very pretty and interestingly nostalgic experience.
Gameplay: Third person survival crafter, with the added bonus of an insanity bar that really starts to mess with you if you spend too much time in the impending darkness. Also, beards.
Replayability: High. Due to the procedural nature of the maps and the fact that if you bought Don’t Starve Together you can play with a friend (each character having their own unique abilities), this game has a dang good replay value.
Would I recommend? If you aren’t tired of the survival crafting genre by this point, like crafting but prefer when there are consequences to dying, or have lost track of the amount of times you’ve watched Nightmare Before Christmas, maybe this is a good game for you. For everyone else? Your call – I prefer the calmness that Minecraft provides while Don’t Starve produces a significantly more stressful experience.

ah, Don't Starve! I *love* this game!! I'm super bad at it, so me and my cousin played the 'Together' version and he would always build up a good base while I collected food. you should try playing a multiplayer server, if you have the Together version, because you can edit the world to make it easier with stuff like more food and less monsters. :P
