• Sentiments

  • I find the gameplay to be fun and challenging, which makes the overall experience enjoyable and engaging.
  • The story is good but somewhat confusing, which adds a layer of complexity that might not be intuitive for all players.
  • The graphics are good, providing a visually pleasing experience without being overly impressive.
  • The music is good and relaxing, enhancing the overall atmosphere of the game.
  • The difficulty is hard, which might be a turn-off for some players but adds to the challenge for others.
  • There are speed-run/cheaty bugs present, which can be seen as both a positive and negative depending on the player's perspective.
  • The game time is grindy, requiring 60-100 hours, which might be too much for some players but offers a lot of content for others.
  • The buying price is fair, especially since it includes two copies, making it a good value for the money.
  • The DLCs are described as a whole new game and not necessary, which can be seen as both a positive and negative depending on the player's interest in additional content.
  • I think the lack of achievements is a missed opportunity, especially since trading cards are available, which could have helped guide new players.

  • I feel a sense of warmth and joy from the inclusion of a cat in the game, as it adds a charming and interactive element that players can engage with.
  • I appreciate the interactive feature where passersby can touch the cat and click 'Like' to pet her, as it fosters a sense of community and shared enjoyment.
  • I find the idea of receiving an award for good luck after interacting with the cat to be a delightful and rewarding mechanic, enhancing the overall experience.
  • I feel neutral about the ASCII art representation of the cat, as it is a creative touch but does not significantly impact the gameplay or sentiment.

  • I feel strongly negative about the fact that data collection is opt-out instead of opt-in, as it disregards user privacy preferences.
  • I am frustrated that enabling data collection is now a hard requirement to play online or access core functionality, which feels invasive.
  • I am disappointed that the company does not respect basic privacy rights, especially in accordance with GDPR standards.
  • I feel relieved that there are other developers who still maintain their morals and respect user privacy.

  • I am extremely frustrated with the constant screen freezes in the game, which force me to manually quit the game even without mods enabled.
  • I find the 'Merm vs pigman' set piece to be the worst mechanic in the game, as it disrupts gameplay and creates unnecessary challenges.
  • I am annoyed by the roaming merms, as they interfere with boss fights and attack me unexpectedly, making the game less enjoyable.
  • I feel that the merms are a nuisance, comparable to the Marotters, and their presence ruins the overall experience of the game.
  • I no longer find the game fun and see it as a chore, which has made me lose interest in playing it.
  • I have fond memories of the game in the past, particularly the friends and activities that made it great, but those feelings are now overshadowed by frustration.
  • I have decided to uninstall the game permanently, as it has become a mental headache and no longer brings me joy.
  • I regret spending 5,000 hours on the game and wish I could take all those hours back, as the experience has been disappointing.
  • I feel that the game has lost its charm and has become a grind, which has led me to the decision to quit playing.
  • I am disappointed with the current state of the game, as it no longer provides the enjoyment it once did.

  • I absolutely adore this game for its unique and beautiful art style, which is a hallmark of Klei's indie games.
  • I cannot recommend the game due to its lack of quality-of-life features, which makes it needlessly frustrating and unplayable without external resources like a wiki.
  • I feel that the developers are catering only to a small percentage of the community, specifically tryhards, which alienates casual players.
  • I find the endgame content overly frustrating, requiring extensive preparation and often not rewarding enough, which discourages most players from reaching it.
  • I believe the endgame content is designed for larger groups of 4-6 players, making it disproportionately difficult for smaller groups of 1-3 players.
  • I am frustrated that health and damage mechanics do not scale based on the number of players, making endgame bosses excessively hard for smaller groups.
  • I dislike the lack of basic quality-of-life features, such as the inability to see enemy HP or place items symmetrically, which forces reliance on mods or external resources.
  • I would prefer if Klei focused on developing paid DLCs that enhance core gameplay, like Shipwrecked and Hamlet, rather than adding more overtuned endgame bosses.
  • I respect Klei for their history of creating great indie games, but I feel their current direction with Don't Starve Together is misaligned with the broader player base.
  • I am disappointed that the game's updates seem to prioritize endgame content, which most players never experience, over improving the overall gameplay experience.

  • I have spent 63 hours playing this game and still cannot make it through a single year, which feels frustrating and unrewarding.
  • My entire group of survival game veterans is baffled by the high ratings of this game, as we find it hard to have fun despite our efforts.
  • The game requires constant effort to maintain sanity and hunger, which feels overwhelming and unenjoyable.
  • Season changes in the game make it nearly impossible to leave the base without dying, which feels restrictive and unfair.
  • There is no clear direction or sense of achievement in the game, leaving me and my group confused and unsatisfied.
  • The game's mechanics feel unbalanced, as it is difficult to recover once you fall behind, which is discouraging.
  • Despite being survival game veterans, my group and I struggle to find enjoyment in this game, which is unusual for us.
  • The lack of a sense of progress or accomplishment makes the game feel unrewarding and frustrating.
  • The game's high ratings are confusing to me and my group, as our experience has been overwhelmingly negative.

• Sentiments

  • I have rather mixed feelings about the game, as I find it hard to form a strong opinion due to the lack of unique aspects that haven't already been discussed by others.
  • I spent 35 hours playing the game, but most of that time was enjoyable because I played with friends, not because of the game itself.
  • I did not want to play the game alone, which suggests that the game lacks appeal or engagement when played solo.
  • I can have fun playing any game with my friends, so the enjoyment I experienced was not specific to this game.
  • I cannot, in good faith, recommend the game, as I believe its value is tied to playing with friends rather than the game's inherent qualities.
  • The game's potential for fun is heavily dependent on the social aspect of playing with friends, rather than its own merits.
  • I conclude that my enjoyment of the game was due to the people I played with, not the game itself.
  • The game does not stand out as a unique or compelling experience on its own.
  • I find it difficult to recommend the game because its value is tied to external factors like playing with friends.
  • The game lacks the ability to provide enjoyment independently, making it less appealing for solo players.
