In stark contrast to peacefulness of Plantera or the relaxation you get from Harvest Moon, Don’t Starve can be pretty stressful. At its core, Don’t Starve and its noteworthy sequels are rogue-like survival games with base building, exploration, crafting, and farming mechanics. If you die, you lose everything you have but that doesn’t mean the game will dissuade you from trying over and over ag
The game puts you in the shoes of a child left to his own resources in a paradise island. There you can explore, farm, craft, cook, tailor, and do other stuff to make the land feel like home. It’s a slow, mesmerizing, and relaxing game thanks to the graphics and the art stNice as that is, the depth of play wouldn’t mean much if the transition to console hadn’t been smooth, but Don’t Starve has made the change with perfect grace. The two games are nearly identical except for control method, and after a few minutes the switch from mouse and keyboard to controller is almost completely forgotten. Sorting inventory or crafting is simple, and clever use of the plus pad gives you multiple context-sensitive actions per item. You can change inventory on the fly with the right stick, or pause and take your time with the R2 button. There’s no pause for crafting, though, and it’s easy to waste a night weighing options, planning the resource-hunt for the next big project. Then again, nights are dark, deadly, and draining on sanity, so what else were you going to do with them?

Red Dead Redemption 2 hasn’t been out on PC for very long, but the modding community hasn’t wasted any time cracking the game open to create some good content. It will be interesting to see what they come up with in a year’s time, but they’re off to a good start, alreDon’t Starve is a fantastic, huge, deadly ball of entertainingly gothic survival. It requires a self-motivated player to get the most from it, but once you start to learn its systems, each game lasts a bit longer than the previous one, and the ability to experience more of the world reveals more secrets and avenues of exploration. Restarting from scratch after each death is tough, but each new play-through gets a bit more efficient, until systems that were taking a week to access in earlier attempts become just another goal to clear on day 2. The initial startup may be work, but the fun of exploration beckons once you’ve earned a spot in the world, and it feels like a privilege that’s been earned. Even though that privilege is sure to eventually end in an inglorious death, it’s impossible not to look a little farther and experiment a little more. The world may be strange and dangerous, but with a little luck and a whole lot of experience, you might be able to tame it, eventually.
Michael Cimino’s 1980 epic western about a war between land barons and European immigrants in Wyoming was a notorious bomb.

I’ve never gotten to use a boomerang before, though, so the first thing to do is find something to chuck it at. Tossing it at a crow nets a black feather, useful in a crafting recipe for… something.

Gather resources like flowers, grass, twigs, rocks, berries, and carrots as quick as possible. Craft flint and twigs into an axe and harvest trees. Plant the pine cones to replenish the tree supply and combine the wood and some rocks into a fire pit, which will eventually be the centerpiece of home base. Spend every second of the first few days putting that base together and then start budgeting time between resource gathering and exploring the wide-open world. While that sounds a lot like work it’s actually a rewarding kind of fun, once you get the taste for it.
