The point is, while the aim of the game is exploration, with this mechanics you can't really do it, you kinda get stuck at some moment when you only busy at survival, the game mechanic to not allow this playstyle is the winter, where you can't grow food, can't fish, can't go near animals. Then comes the combat which is one of the worst aspects of the game, it's clunky, i don't know if I should call it buggy or not, but it's hard to understand when a hit register and it feel slow and un-reliable option, add it to the fact healing wounds is one of the hardest things to do in the game, it doesn't generate by itself, you get a very small portion from food and small from crafts.Īnd then there is a smaller element that still really annoys me and it's getting resources, "farming spiders" is something we usually tried to do in order to get spider web that is needed for lot of crafts, we could spend days fighting with spiders (or setting traps), and sometimes came empty, the drop rate on the essential item is so low and it makes the game so much more annoying.

Mostly, it's repetitive and I would say it's scale pretty badly, every game starts the same, you spawn, you collect resource and looking for a place near resource, mostly buffalo to start a camp, and then it's the part where the game gets boring, where you can't really venture too far because food respawn is extremely low, you get hungry fast, the days get shorter, so it's pretty hard to get far from the base because normally you don't have too much spare food for the travel.

So I wanted to make a talk about Don't Starve Together, I started playing it a few weeks ago with 2 friends, got 24 hours on it by now and I must say, it feels like it could be a truly amazing game that I could play for 100+ hours and not stop now, but it has a few drawbacks.
