auuuugh does anyone wanna play dont starve with meeee apparantly i have to buy the multiplayer dlc separately tho? cos its more like they reworked the game from the ground up and rebalanced things and added a Cute Costumes System and other changes. i can understand that! and also i’m relieved that this version has webber unlocked from the start!

but yeah like I Do Not Actually Like This Game its just.. bad its really bad. i’m sorry its just way way wayw ayw waaayyy too difficult and doesnt even explain anything so its possible to actually like.. learn it its the same factor as binding of isaac, where you have to read up like a million wikia theories on how the fuck some obscure gameplay function works or what an item actually does when it has no damn description except BoI at least ahs a basic gameplay thing at its center, its just a top down shooter. and you can still get by without knowing all the things, if you’re just good at dodging. don’t starve literally just changed every fucking flower on the overworld into arbitrarily mental health draining items and thus removed my only way of REGAINING those MP points if i dont have flowers. just because i took too long! i thought the goddamn game was gaslighting me, what the fuck its so weird and scary to turn around and everything just changed behind you and then you die for seemingly no reason. had to trawl thru forums of other people screaming WHERE DID THE FLOWERS GO to find out if it was a glitch but NOPE that is an actual designed feature. it just happens on the full moon, and you have no way of telling what goddamn moon phase you’;re even on and the game starts at a random time of the year each time you start a new game so that ‘git gud fast enough or die’ factor is a different time limit each time and YOU HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THISSSS i played 27 hours and reached the exp limit cap and i still havent lived past 7 ingame days or seen like 90% of the actual game content i hate hate hate this sort of ‘difficult = good’ and ‘having no tutorials is somehow a desireable gamemaking trait’ and ‘randomly fluctuating difficulty that you ahve no control over is also a brave new decision rather than just a terrible shitpile’. seriously fuckin just change the rules every five minutes?? why?? GAHHHH! i got fuckin jumpscared just by an enemy existing. i’d restarted so many times and just seen so much of the same boring starting game stuff and made zero progress so i got fuckin terrified when i saw some new enemy i’d never met before. I didnt even know the game had more to it that i hadnt seen! and i’d spent so much time figuring out and memorizing all the rules for the predictable early game stuff so i could maybe survive it...

so yeah i feel bad cos i cannot reccommend this game AT ALL and i do not see what people see in it. and i only keep playing cos its weirdly addictive like.. not cos its good?? it only makes me wanna play again cos im pissed off and i think next time i can win, but i get less and less enjoyment every time, rather than like TBoI which was hard at first and like.. actually possible to learn, and actually some degree of gaining progress as you go thru. and less of a huge committment to restarting the game every time, you just shoot thru some rooms instead of an intense struggle to survive and explore and map out an area and locate the resources to start building your base and THEN you can start properly playing. AND I NEVER EVEN COMPLETED THAT PART! I got so sad, on my last playthru i finally made the first science station and got a shovel so i could move berry bushes and set up a pseudo farm, and then i’d finished one wall of defense around that base and then I DIED ARBITRARILY DUE TO RANDOM UNEXPLAINED THINGS! I didnt know that digging up graves drains your MP, seriously so many damn things drain that MP and i only know one damn method to restore it!! but digging graves doesnt even sap it, it just takes out an instant 50% chunk and shoves you into the interface screw “insanity mode” and then your hallucinations can attack you. and i was proud that i actually survived that! i ran around screaming and picking flowers while the dumb hallucination monster was too slow to catch me in time. but then i accidentaklly died just to the controls being stupid, i accidentally attacked one of my own minion characters while trying to pick up something nearby them, and they all swarmed me and killed me in five seconds flat. i didnt even know what was damaging me! and then IN THE MOST FUCKED UP THING EVER, when i respawned at those one time restore points THERE WAS AN ENEMY RIGHT THERE! and you respawn with none of your items or equipment so it oneshotted me T_T bye bye five hours of playtime and my big ol fancy half finished base :(

SO YEAH I FEEL BAD cos i cant reccommend this game AT ALL, all i can say is i was bad at it and maybe you might be better at it and maybe enjoy it more BUT i still wanna ask my friends to buy it anyway just so i can play multiplayer i am such a mean but like maybe its less difficult with friends... and maybe being able to have fun friend chat and collect cute outfits would help distract me from the flaws? like maybe i only get so frustrated cos i’m sitting here alone devoting so much effort to the game alone *shrug* but yeah all i know is that i love the characters and i hate how little of the characters we get just gimme an animated series or something!!! it makes me so much more frustrated when me dying repeatedly to an unfair game also means this poor innocent monster boy is meeting a terrible demise T_T I JUST WANTED TO MAKE HIM A LITTLE HOUSE!!!
