Don't Starve Together

hard and unforgiving, but a masterpiece

So after playing for a while in solo and then convincing some friends to do a run, and then also trying public for a while, while also spending a couple hundred hours in single player DS, I feel like I don't get the design of pacing for DST. Assuming that official klei-hosted servers are the intended experience, it is a game that resets your entire server if everyone dies, and yet to actually dominate and beat the final bosses you need at least about 20 hours or more depending on how well your team knows what to do. The thing is, this game has very slow power progression, even if you rush thulecite clubs or mass produce glass cutters, it still requires a lot of farming for armor to survive the hard hitting meatshield bosses of late-game to get to actually damaging brightshade and void gear. My point is, for it to be more feasible to actually complete this game in public lobbies they need to give us more viable early game weapons, and especially armor, because current meta of filling your inventory with 5 football helmets is ridiculous, and kiting in public is almost impossible. Actually one thing that addresses some of this is skill tree, but then please give every character something to improve their combat, Wilson is currently very underwhelming. Okay it was a long rant, kinda creates an illusion of me not liking the game. It has such a breadth of content and so many ways to interact with it and characters are so different in nature and having different roles in a public lobby is so fun that I expect to double my playtime at least, so yeah, an immense experience that I urge people to try.

the game is pretty good the best part about it are the amount of mods in it the games meant to be played with other people but can be played by your self also the give you 2 copies when you buy it the game despite being a survival game have progression if you want to do it all it will take like 700 minutes which is allot but fun. it takes allot of playing to get good at but when you do it gets kinda boring but when it does you can just download a mod and play that for a while the games still getting updated and probbly wont stop for a long while hoped this helped

great game but if you dont have friends its super difficult to play, thats why you have to wait for your friends to all have time to play :)

Great to play with a group of friends! It was easy to set up a world and no spam inviting friends was needed, they can just join from the in-game menu with a click, I appreciate the range of characters and their abilities and how it effects the gameplay

recent update broke saves and mods. "Dedicated Server Failed To Start There was some sort of trouble starting the server. Please try again." thanks for ruining my save

Don't Starve Together is one of the most unique survival games out there. The Tim Burton-like art style, eerie atmosphere, and wide variety of characters and creatures make every playthrough feel different. Playing with friends adds a lot of fun (and chaos), but the game doesn’t go easy on you. There’s a steep learning curve, and the lack of tutorials can be overwhelming at first. Still, once you get the hang of it, surviving each season feels incredibly rewarding. The devs are still actively updating the game, adding new content and improving balance. If you enjoy challenging survival games and don’t mind a bit of trial and error, this is definitely worth picking up.

Excellent group game! Like minecraft only harder and scarier! It even has a gothic whimsicality! You make little horn/flute sounds when you speak!!!

Cooperative play adds hilarious chaos and shared goals, but server lag and occasional disconnects break immersion

Fun, odd, and challenging survivor game full of weird creatures and characters. Join your friends in a Tim Burton-esque world trying to survive amongst the bizarre plant and wildlife. If you get it, for your own sake go in blind, discovering how the world works is a lot of fun.

"Don't Starve Together" is one of those games I always go back to when I want to have a great time with friends. The goal is simple – don’t die. But that’s exactly where the challenge (and all the fun) begins. Surviving isn’t as easy as it sounds, especially when you're dealing with hunger, monsters, seasons, and the occasional teammate accidentally setting everything on fire. All of that makes for chaotic, memorable moments and a lot of laughs. One thing I absolutely love is the music. It’s so well-made and fits the world perfectly – it really helps set the mood and makes the whole experience even more immersive. And... the Catcoons are super adorable <3

After more than 15 years, this game is still adding content and staying fresh.

What I consider to be my favourite game of all time, as I can enjoy it both when I want something relaxing and when I want something demanding. It's a brutally uncomprimising survival game where knowledge is power. I heavily recommend going in with as little knowledge as possible. This game also features a beautiful and unique artstyle, with a perfectly matching sountrack. Compared to other games, Don't Starve Together recieves updates super often, AND said updates get released with a fully animated short. There is lore behind this game but it isn't a focal point but it's still pretty intriguing.

Doesn't hold your hand at all, but that's apart of the fun! Really great game to play with friends. 110% recommend!

A challenging game, but worth playing! It's pretty fun, especially with friends.

Every time you start a world you will have a moment of bliss where you will have pure fun making your base and collecting stuff. Then you will steal an egg from a big bird, or you'll hit the wrong spider's nest, or you'll just survive up to winter. Then you will realize that the developers made it their personal mission to torture you. And I think that's awesome. I love this game. Every update that adds something positive for your survival, also adds a "but" as well. You can now plant crops "but" they can also get infested by locust There's cool stuff in the ocean now "but" otters will steal your stuff etc. This game is designed to be hard but fair. Every death was your mistake, and every vistory was earned. So take a torch and step into the darkness.

🚫 Not Recommended (unless you're a masochist such as myself who thrives on pain, suffering, and emotional devastation) I’m going to say this once, loudly and with the emotional stability of a starving raccoon: I do not recommend this game. Unless, and hear me out; you are the kind of person who puts hot sauce in your eyes for fun, considers taxes a hobby, and thinks "emotional damage" is just spicy seasoning for your soul. “Don’t Starve Together” is not a survival game. No. It is a slow-motion breakup with reality, served on a beautifully hand-drawn plate of despair and bees. So. Many. Bees. 🌲 MY JOURNEY INTO MADNESS: Day 1: "Gather twigs," they said. "Pick some flowers," they said. It’s cute. It’s whimsical. I named a frog. I was doing great. Day 3: My campfire went out while I was crafting a hat made of grass. A shadow demon shanked me in the dark while whispering eldritch riddles. I respawned next to a spider orgy. Day 7: I made a meat effigy. I don’t know why. I think it was to prepare for the inevitable, which came 20 minutes later when my friend, whom I trusted, lit our base on fire trying to cook a carrot. Day 12: A tree came to life and chased me halfway across the map. I asked it to stop politely. It did not. Day 16: Winter arrived. My thermal stone turned cold. My soul turned colder. I fashioned a coat out of beefalo fur and my friend’s broken trust. Day 20: We were attacked by dogs. Why are there dogs?! What do they want?! I died again, but spiritually this time. 💀 THINGS THAT HAVE KILLED ME IN THIS GAME: Darkness Spiders Tree monsters Freezing to death Overheating Starvation (ironic, I know) Bees Frogs My own friends A sentient penguin horde A moose-goose. Yeah. That’s real. 🧠 MY MENTAL STATE: You know that meme with the guy in the burning house saying "this is fine"? That’s me. Except the house is made of twigs, the fire was started by my teammate trying to cook a berry, and the guy is now haunted by hallucinations of Charlie whispering Latin backwards. 👥 MULTIPLAYER? LOL. You think playing with friends will make this easier. Wrong. It just means you’ll have someone to blame when they pick all the flowers and summon a forest god to annihilate your camp because they wanted to "make a pretty wreath." Teamwork makes the dream work... unless that dream is a fever nightmare about starvation and pig people. 📢 FINAL THOUGHT: This game will test your patience, your friendships, and your sanity. It's beautiful. It's cruel. It’s a handcrafted sandbox of torment wrapped in Tim Burton’s art style and sprinkled with goose trauma. If you want a fun, relaxing, cozy survival game, go play Stardew Valley. If you want to feel like a raccoon in a burning dumpster trying to juggle flaming meatballs while hallucinating shadow wolves, then Don’t Starve Together is for you. 10/10 Would die of starvation again.

Its very hard to play, dont understand what is going on, no real tutorial system

Don’t Starve Together takes the uncompromising survival experience of Don’t Starve and turns it into a shared adventure. You and your friends are dropped into a dark, whimsical wilderness where every day is a fight against hunger, monsters, and the creeping madness that threatens to consume you. The game masterfully blends resource management, exploration, and crafting with a relentless challenge. You must gather food, build shelter, craft weapons, and fend off terrifying creatures—all while managing your sanity in a beautifully eerie world. Playing solo is tough, but the multiplayer twist elevates the experience: cooperation is vital, but so is planning and adapting. Whether splitting tasks or banding together for a boss fight, teamwork is what keeps you alive. The depth of the crafting system and the unpredictable, procedurally generated world means no two playthroughs feel the same. Seasons, biomes, and random events keep you constantly on your toes. The game’s hand-drawn, Tim Burton-esque art style is striking—dark and quirky, with a unique charm that perfectly fits its unsettling yet whimsical tone. The soundtrack is haunting and minimal, enhancing the tension and isolation you feel in the wilderness. Pros: -Deep, rewarding survival mechanics -Rich crafting and exploration systems -Unique, memorable art and atmosphere -Multiplayer adds layers of fun and strategy Cons: -Steep learning curve for newcomers -Can be punishing and sometimes frustrating -Occasional connectivity issues in multiplayer Don’t Starve Together is a brutally beautiful survival game that demands creativity, cooperation, and perseverance. It’s perfect for players who crave challenge wrapped in a darkly whimsical world. With friends by your side, every narrow escape feels like a triumph. Survival has never been so eerie, engaging, or downright fun—especially with friends. Rating: 9/10

I love Terraria, SV, etc, and so people always recommend DST, coming from those areas. But I've just never really enjoyed the game. I try to enjoy it since other people make it to be so fun, but I just can't. I bought DS and didn't really enjoy it so I decided to buy DST to play with a friend, but everytime we died and just got bored. So yeah. The game is alright but it's really boring and dying just kills motivation.

My favorite survival game. So much fun (and pain) learning how to survive and eventually thrive in this world different from ours. Just remember that this world still isn't yours as much as you wish to make it so. They will remind you.

please dont ever play this game if you dont wanna use your brain every second. but its so addicting i keep coming back and grind, hoping i could reach winter but i always die of either cold or hunger before the month ends. please dont buy it

The only few games where it never gets easy no matter how experienced you are. Good job Klei and Tencent.

banger soundtrack banger gameplay banger artstyle wilson banger lore a bit laggy but still would recommend to everyone and their grandmas

Nice game to play with friends but gets boring fast

'Don't Starve Together' is kind of like 'Don't Starve: Reign of Giants', but with more content and the possibility to play with other people. Great game!

it have no guids and i am Sooooo Confused playing this game. please add a guid that we can learn game faster

Don't starve together is a good video game it is very fun yes that is a haiku

It's scary, it's tough, but it is still an enjoyable time. Playing with friends helps make it a little less scary. The modding community is kind to share so many mods to give the game even more life <3

Great game. I suggest trying it on a easier setting if its your first run, If you like pain and like to suffer this game is for you or hard mode.

Pretty fun game. Its kind of hard though so be prepared to die a lot. but then some games that makes is better.

This game is far more cluttered than the original. I'm sure it improves the experience for some, but for me, it's got far too much going on to be as fun as the first.

Мои друзья очень хорошие люди. Они сильно помогают в развитии базы, хотя их собственное развитие оставляет желать лучшего. И нет, я не устал 5 раз подряд воскрешать типа за 40 казенных хп, ради того чтобы он превратился в бобра и сдох на моих глазах в течении минуты, а затем пришло второе чудовище и в приступе шизофрении сожгло нахуй хату.

This is a great game, it's super fun! however... There isn't really any official tutorial on how to play, or what to progress to, other than what you can find in the crafting menu.

too complicated, ghost simulator

Объективно игра неплохая, если вы любите выживать и не имеете цели прохождения, а хотите вкачиваться и строить свою базу, то эта игра для вас, то что надо, я не понял почему together замирают, если есть такое разнообразие персонажей, мне допустим не нравится главный персонаж по характеристикам, а нравится из together, что я могу сделать. Для меня игра очень крутая, но если играть с другом, то можно остаться в игре на долго. Найти только однозолото чего стоит. Я наиграл немного и в pocktg education и мне с основным персонажем играть значительно труднее. Я думаю, что Don't starve together нету равных в таком плане как выживание по крайней мере для меня. Но единственная проблема которая есть это цены на Dlc я всесто, того, чтобы покупать игры буду покупать DLC.

Its awesome and you can play multiplayer with your family and friends

Stardew Valley survival game trust this game is a banger especially with friends. Absolute peak. Very difficult but worth it

Very difficult, but the process of learning it and getting to survive more and more days is quite fun i think !!! I love how you can form a team together for more efficiency (if your friends are competent enough).

It's hella cool but I despise how the game's story is barely there unless you go to outside of game sources like trailers for updates. Also, yes, this game is one of those forever live service games which throws pacing and narrative structure out of the window. I am also not entirely sure how you would find out the progression in some of the "questlines" of the game without third party sources either. The game is pretty challenging alone or a complete cakewalk with a lot of people. Difficulty is not scaled based on amount of players. I think the difficulty is just right with 2, maybe 3 players, and very much above average difficulty alone. Don't play it with more. Very pretty style and great sense of humor, though. That plus non-trivial combat gets you a pretty appealing mix for some, but I can't blanket recommend it to everyone. Plus I really want games to end eventually so the likes of DST lose some points.

very nice game so many intresting and epic

This game is what i would call "labor of love". How long it has been and game still gets regular updates. Recommend EVERYONE buying it (also when u buy one you get extra free copy)

Probably one of my favorite games of all time! The artstyle and mechanics are amazing! It's also still getting consistent updates after all this time Oh, and, do not teach your friends how to set trees on fire

If Tim Burton directed a survival reality show and let the contestants slowly go insane, you'd get Don't Starve Together. This game doesn’t hold your hand—it slaps it, steals your food, and leaves you arguing with a talking flower while freezing to death. I’ve spent 300+ hours trying (and hilariously failing) to survive. Whether it’s starving in winter because we forgot to plant enough carrots, or accidentally summoning Deerclops on Day 28 and watching our base turn into charcoal, every session is chaotic brilliance. The hand-drawn art is timelessly eerie, the sound design is haunting yet whimsical, and the co-op experience… pure gold. But beware: it’s not for the faint of heart. If you rage-quit over burnt toast, this might not be your jam. 🪓 Pros: + Rich, punishing survival mechanics + Unique characters with real personality + Mods add infinite variety + Every death is a story 💀 Cons: - Learning curve steeper than Wilson’s sanity drop - Some updates leave old bugs kicking around like unwanted guests Final verdict? DST is a beautiful, brutal fever dream—and I can’t stop waking up in it. 9/10, would eat monster lasagna again.

Game gets more fun the more you understand trust the process type of game yk i reccomend getting it on sale and going from there :)

People say its tedious, but learning the game and basic survival necessities is not as hard as it sounds and also fun. I feel like not knowing what to do gives motivation to learn and survive on ur own, and each death serves as a lesson Amazing survival games and also amazing with friends.

literally s**t myself soiled my briches jumped out of my skin jeeper creepr playing so scary creepy danger this game but it was great

Great game. Fun when you start out just exploring, figuring things out through trial-and-error, and also fun when you get a good hang on survival and start challenging the late-game content. Cool game to mess around with friends, but also still worth playing solo. I compare this game to Minecraft, but with less focus on constructing stuff and more focus on fighting big monsters and surviving a harsh world.

One of the absolutely best multiplayer co-op (hopefully!) game ever, and I don'[t give those accolades lightly. A true masterpiece in terms atmosphere, character design, difficulty curve, and replayability. A very enthusiastic thumbs-up!

In my first game, I thought things were going well, then deerclops came. He destroyed my base and my progress. I then starved for the rest of winter. The next few season I also starved.
