I have such a soft spot for this game. Its visuals, its music, its characters - all of it pops out in such beautiful charm, and the gameplay has such a simplistic style that it makes you invest in it, and the more you invest, the more you discover and thrive as a player. You are going to die. A lot. Whether it be to starving, to the darkness, to your own insanity, or even to spiders. Don't Starve doesn't hold your hand. But you get better, you learn from your mistakes, and you overcome your weaknesses.

I rarely play online with strangers, but with a group of friends, it is a blast. Huddling together at night, working hard during the day, using your character's strengths to work with those of others, it's so much fun. You build and build until you realise that you're all, in a funny way, a family. A bunch of people stranded and who must work together.

Get this game. It's one of the best survival games I've ever played. Fun by yourself, amazing with friends. 9/10.

cool thanks,
this may sound funny but i bought the game just to support the devs... its been sitting in my library since it came out. I thought it was a multi player only ( like u said but impossible bosses ) so i kinda just forgot about it.
I will definatley give it a try

Having a team of survivors is the game's selling point, but it isn't required in the slightest. You can play this game 100% solo, yes. You can do everything you can with a team, by yourself - it's just going to be a little trickier with boss battles.
