Don’t Starve Together is a multiplayer survival game. If you’ve played Don’t Starve, don’t worry, this game is almost identical to Don’t Starve, aside from the multiplayer capabilities and a few relatively minor features. Gameplay-wise, Don’t Starve translates very well to multiplayer. It’s easier to gather food and other resources with 2+ people, but more resources are needed to support the extra people. It manages to balance the game experience very well, without feeling like having extra people is a negative.
Don’t Starve Together strikes a great balance between difficulty and accessibility. It is challenging but never gets frustrating or annoying. The rush during the “easy” seasons to prepare for winter makes for an enjoyable gameplay loop that is seemingly repetitive, but doesn’t get boring thanks to the wide array of possibilities when playing.
The modding community is another strong point. There is a huge variety of characters to play as if you get bored of the base game. There are also quite a few content mods, adding new items to craft, new enemies, new biomes, etc.
Overall, Don’t Starve Together is a fantastic game to play with friends and one with a lot of replay value.
