Don't Starve: Shipwrecked

Firstly, let me say that this game is beautiful. The design is stunning and the scenery is also. The characters have their own styles and “voice” which is typically the music. Secondly, I would also say that the journey is a very fun one. It’s adventurous. I use it as a challenge to see how many days I can survive and to dig out the secrets. I want to unlock and discover everything. Maybe there’s a way to escape? Maybe not? Only as the days continue, Will I probably find out. Lastly, the bugs. It’s terrible. I would give it five stars but I my character glitching in the game as my days get longer. The music starts to get all disoriented and that’s not just from losing my sanity. My sanity can be perfectly fine but the music isn’t. Then the colors start to fade, which is annoying because everything goes to a gray color. The birds don’t even sound like birds anymore. Even when I close out the game and open it again, it fixes it for a while and then it goes back to crap again. Please fix. Other than this, I would recommend to anyone looking for a challenge within a stunning game.

In short, if you like the original Don’t Starve game, you’ll like this one too. The only thing that keeps this game from getting 5 stars is that the controls are a bit finicky... it’s fine when you’re just walking around the world, gathering and building things, but it’s a nightmare when you’re fighting an enemy, especially when there’s a lot of trees in the way. Your character will just stand still, making some comment about the tree you just clicked on, while some monster chomps away at him! It’s especially bad since a lot of the fighting requires you to hit the enemy a couple times before running a small distance away to dodge their attack. You need to make sure you’re in a wide open space to fight anything effectively. Also, you can’t play as Wigfrid (my favorite character), so you can’t just tank the enemy attacks.

To be honest, I have a hard time getting in to the Don't Starve series because there is no story, objective, and the game is generic in its design. After playing many survival games, I noticed that this game uses the same formula as the thousands of survival games that came out in recent memory. Just like every other survival game out there, you collect wood and stone to make tools and gather one ore; gold to get science kits. These science kits are basically a crafting table where you can create more tools and armor. I have seen thousands of games with the same sense of progression as this game. This game in particular irks me because: 1. When you go to generate a world, it takes a very long time to generate even a small (default) world. It takes over 15 minutes to generate it which is long time considering that it regenerates the map every time you die. 2. There are hardly any customization options in this game, unlike its predecessor. In the original Don't Starve game, you could build a farm, a house, and explore caverns with wicked flora and fauna within. In this game, it is just the boring open sea where there is hardly anything to create or explore. 3. Just like the original Don't Starve, the controls are finicky.

The story is there, it’s in every detail of the beginning of the game, such is their MO. This game is not really fully intended for the phone, but for the computer. It’s also on the PlayStation list and I’m sure even XBox might have one too. If you want to play games based on other people’s opinions, then you might not play ANY GAME, every game has its flaws and it’s perks. It’s up to you to decide, based on the gameplay itself, do you like the game. It’s not about my opinion or theirs, it’s about YOUR opinion. This game is a work of art, you don’t have to appreciate it, others will. You don’t have to understand it, because trust me, OTHERS WILL. (All upper cased words are done so to emphasize not seem like I’m yelling ) I say one thing they should add for this game, is a setting to connect a controller and to apply a configuration for how to access and use and fight and move.

Really fun game! Wish you had an actual "sandbox" mode so that you can't die(a casual mode). clothing that you can wear with the packs, it's so annoying that I have to choose between wearing a jacket or my backpack. Also more types of houses for your player to build to live in that doesn't just have a handful of uses before it's destroyed, like different cabins made from all types of material, maybe a stone house that volcanoes or fire can't destroy, or one that you can constantly upgrade to make stronger or last longer. Maybe a story line with the game so we know what the goal is besides the goal to survive, maybe village people/animals that we can do quests for in order to get gears, gem stones, or other rarities. I love the game now but like I said, there's always room for improvements!
