Review: Don t Starve PS4

This is no more apparent than the first time players encounter a beast like Krampus. Some monsters are mammoth, hard to fight, and bent on destruction. Even the most fortified of bases can fall to these mighty (and random) monsters. It's always better to have a couple of bases (with easy and fast access via a road) to ensure players have a place to escape should thing suddenly go sidew


"Item" can be replaced with any animal, monster, character, item, or environment object in the game. "Amount" is simply how much of it you want. Just be careful not to spawn too many Terrorbeaks! You can also replace "spawn" with "give" if you’d like the items to show up in your invent


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


There are a couple of characters, Wilson and Webber, that have the ability to grow a beard and one, Willow, can set fires. These can help keep you warm, but you're still going to want to make warm clothes instead of relying on methods like that as they're not as effective and can be destruct

Nice as that is, the depth of play wouldn't mean much if the transition to console hadn't been smooth, but Don't Starve has made the change with perfect grace. The two games are nearly identical except for control method, and after a few minutes the Nintendo Switch Strategy from mouse and keyboard to controller is almost completely forgotten. Sorting inventory or crafting is simple, and clever use of the plus pad gives you multiple context-sensitive actions per item. You can change inventory on the fly with the right stick, or pause and take your time with the R2 button. There's no pause for crafting, though, and it's easy to waste a night weighing options, planning the resource-hunt for the next big project. Then again, nights are dark, deadly, and draining on sanity, so what else were you going to do with them?


Many of these games are jumping off points to get the community talking about bigger ideas, and for many, even if they don't enjoy every game on this list, it will clarify their point of view about experimentation in the medium. That is exciting for those of us who have been consuming games for vast portions of our li


Don't Starve Together is the multiplayer version of the survival game Don't Starve . This game puts players in a mysterious world known as "The Constant" and forces them to survive by any means necessary. It's not easy, but players can gather all the necessary items they need to make it in The Constant and are tasked with seeing how many days they can make it through before their character ultimately peris


You can never have too many items, right? Or creatures, either—living among the Beefalos sounds pretty great! These lines of code will get you the items, props, or creatures you crave. That even means Tallbirds or Spider Queens,


Aside from being a king, Wilbur is still your average monkey. He loves bananas, and will even gain 10 Sanity Points from eating them. He can’t speak and uses several variations of monkey gibberish to talk throughout the game. But, if you examine bananas when playing as Wilbur, he will cry "Nanas!" His love of bananas is so great, it grants him the power of human speech. Who would have thought bananas were such powerful things? They can also be used to recruit other prime apes to be your followers. All you gotta do it give them bananas. Perhaps they can now speak limited English,


Playing as both Naiee and Nayaa, who are mapped to the left and right analogue sticks (or keyboard), players partake on a journey to retrieve a medicine that will make your ill father better. What ensues is a dark fairy tale that starts off as a lighthearted adventure but takes a turn for death and depression. That isn't to say that the magical whimsy ever disappears as the brothers traverse some gorgeously dark locations that are brilliantly desig

Don't Starve is a fantastic, huge, deadly ball of entertainingly gothic survival. It requires a self-motivated player to get the most from it, but once you start to learn its systems, each game lasts a bit longer than the previous one, and the ability to experience more of the world reveals more secrets and avenues of exploration. Restarting from scratch after each death is tough, but each new play-through gets a bit more efficient, until systems that were taking a week to access in earlier attempts become just another goal to clear on day 2. The initial startup may be work, but the fun of exploration beckons once you've earned a spot in the world, and it feels like a privilege that's been earned. Even though that privilege is sure to eventually end in an inglorious death, it's impossible not to look a little farther and experiment a little more. The world may be strange and dangerous, but with a little luck and a whole lot of experience, you might be able to tame it, eventually.
