Don't Starve drives me mad like few games ever do. It provided me with dozens of exhilarating brushes with death, but padded those unforgettable moments with long stretches of tedious busy work. It's the type of game where you can spend hours mining the environment, outfitting your character, and fortifying your home base, only to have your slice of paradise shattered by a terrifying, nearly-unstoppable shadow beast invasion. It's a roguelike at heart, meaning that death is inevitable, and once you die, it's truly game over. Don't Starve will never, ever hold your hand, and I both love it and hate it for that
