It was also disappointing when characters died the only thing left to do was to haunt random objects as a ghost with the only hope of resurrection depending upon the surviving players’ ability to search the map for the required materials. There were, however, aspects such as not knowing that certain characters were picky eaters that were a little frustrating to overcome (and in our case we simply didn’t overcome it and just ended up restarting).

It was my first time playing an open-world survival game like this, and I thought it was pretty fun to just explore and figure out the rules of the game by way of pure adventuring and trial and error. We were quite literally tossed into this grim-looking world with the only goal being to survive. The lack of instructions allowed for the game to be extremely exploratory we didn’t encounter any guided quests or suggestions on what we should or shouldn’t do. When we messed up early on, it was simple to just make a new server and restart. I found the game to be fairly intuitive especially given that we entered with very little information about it. Fortunately our third and last attempt for the night only yielded one death, which we will hopefully be able to reverse the next time we play. You would think that if you’re near death, you would eat just about anything, but alas, berries were “not fit for a warrior’s diet,” and Warly, the chef character, accidentally destroyed his crockpot, so both of our characters did indeed starve together. We picked new characters for the second attempt, which resulted in two of our characters possessing specific dietary preferences, something we were not aware of. And that was the part we struggled with, and as a result, we died on the first night and ended up restarting. My friends chose Wickerbottom and Wendy - there seemed to be some sort of pattern with most of the characters’ names beginning with a “W.” None of us really knew what we were doing, just that we needed a source of light for when darkness fell. I chose Winona, a Rosie the Riveter type of character, for our first round playing. Upon joining a game, players are given the option to choose a character. Prior to playing the game, I had no idea what it would be about. A spin-off of Don’t Starve, Don’t Starve Together provides a multiplayer version of its parent game - there’s a certain kind of solidarity when you’re starving to death with friends that’s worth capitalizing on. And coincidentally, that’s exactly the kind of world Don’t Starve Together presents.
