Emery's Review of Don't Starve

Don't Starve Has Its Own Line of Action Figures

DON’T STARVE REVIEW
            Don’t starve or DS is a adventure\survival game that has you playing as Wilson a gentlemen scientist from the 1920’s. He is failing at some science-y thing when the radio starts to talk to him. With the help of the demented radio he makes a big science machine. He pulls the lever and is taken by some big demon hands to the setting in which don’t starve takes place. When there you wake up and are greeted by the antagonist, Maxwell, who quickly disappears.
            The point of the game is to survive as long as you can at least in sandbox mode. Adventure mode I won't tell you about because it would spoil things I think the best way to explain the game play is to explain what I do in the starting season of the game, autumn. On the first day you want to go around and find as many berries, flint, rocks, twigs and grass you can. Make an axe and cut down some logs and make a fire when night comes. ALWAYS HAVE A FIRE READY FOR THE NIGHT! Unless you want to die to a monster you cant kill (a.k.a. Charlie). Gather the materials for a science machine so you can make stuff.

             I won’t tell you much more because I want y’all to explore the game for your self. It is really a game of trial and error and I recommend it. 10/10.      

From Emery's mom
What Emery didn't tell you is there is a Don't Starve Together, which is apparently the same game except you can play online with other users. I've come a long way in letting him explore the online world--and I'm even okay with his playing on other servers. He was bummed for a while because no one would play on his server, but as of this morning, he has had a few visitors. I guess it's true face-to-face or online, kids want connections, validation, and community.
