In one game I found myself low on supplies and pursued through the woods by a horde of vicious spiders. And while there's a fair amount of mundanity associated with that, those efforts culminate in desperate and tense struggles for survival. The gameplay cycle is simple: explore the world and gather materials during the relative safety of daylight, survive the night by crafting a fire and consuming some food, repeat. The visuals are accompanied by a carnivalesque soundtrack that, while immediately catchy, lacks any sort of variation and quickly led me to switch it off and search for my own creepy music to play in the background. This atmosphere of a child's storybook gone awry is aided by a novelesque menu system and comically blunt bits of story. Like a popup book from the mind of Tim Burton, the gothic-inspired look makes even the most benign shrubbery seem threatening. The moment I landed in my randomly generated world I was struck by an immense appreciation for the paper-cutout graphical style and whimsical presentation. It's the type of game where you can spend hours mining the environment, outfitting your character, and fortifying your home base, only to have your slice of paradise shattered by a terrifying, nearly-unstoppable shadow beast invasion.
It provided me with dozens of exhilarating brushes with death, but padded those unforgettable moments with long stretches of tedious busy work. You can get the game right now-and see what all the hype is about-at for $2.69, a whopping 81% off its current price.ĭon't Starve drives me mad like few games ever do.
