Overall, Don’t Starve on Wii U is a ridiculously engaging game of hunting and gathering. The wonderful art direction makes this more than just a Minecraft clone. The game can be quite brutal at times, but that just makes the sense of accomplishment feel more earned. I still feel it doesn’t make optimal use of the Wii U, but the core game solid and hard to put down.
Don’t Starve: Giant Edition is still the same great survival game, but it also contains all the same flaws as past releases as well. Colossal spikes in difficulty combine with a general lack of concern for the player’s well being and understanding to make for a truly challenging survival experience.
The world of Don’t Starve is an intriguing one. The haunting graphics and music create a grim, Burton-esque atmosphere that wraps around the whole package rather nicely. The gameplay is fun and kept me interested for days. Don’t Starve doesn’t hold your hand, and it can be difficult, but if you can look past that, this game is one of the most unique experiences on the Wii U. Just be sure to light a fire at night. They come rather quickly in the dark…
