Don't Starve: Console Edition

If you're up to the challenge and precariousness of exploring this stark landscape bristling with danger, Don't Starve delivers unique charm, exhaustive depth, and brutal punishment. On the PS4, it remains a frustrating, fascinating, and beautifully grim experience that controls nicely and packs the same absorbing punch as the original.

And that's what makes it such a fine conduit for storytelling. The lack of respawns give weight to each life; every attempt to apply a stiff sense of Britishness to the wild is meaningful.... Quite apart from a game about managing resources, about taking risks, about strategising and surviving, Don't Starve is a platform for endless surprise and adventure that sparks wonder at everything you discover - and have yet to learn - about its world.

Don’t Starve isn’t perfect, but it brings something to the PS4 that is sorely needed. Its addictive qualities keep you playing, forcing you to lose hours of your life to dodging Pig Men, hunting rabbits, and gathering supplies to see how long you can last. This game will keep you playing that shiny new PS4, which is exactly what the PS4 needs right now. Now, time to jump in this rabbit hole and go to the Kingdom of the Bunnymen…hopefully.
