Has been enjoyable on multiple occasions, but somehow I never finish a whole playthrough. I think it's just a bit too much "the same" throughout even after the time skip. The story is merely fine. The music is legendary though!
I'm having a hard time writing this review because I don't think I have any specific criticism. I just got bored, and I don't even know why. I should play more tactical RPGs to find a comparison point.

Rating Don't Starve Together separately, because this game is much more fun with friends. As I understand it there's also new content, but I didn't play the original enough to compare.
Playing with friends mitigates the high stakes that normally make Don't Starve almost unplayable for me. So does lowering the difficulty or allowing infinite respawns. Especially if your friends already know how to play the game, Don't Starve Together really is about being together.
It's still not my preference, but if I'm in a good mood and someone else wants to play it, I won't turn down Don't Starve.

I respect this game immensely. It's got a strong identity and a unique artistic style. It's a bit creepy and strange. The world feels hostile, strange, and oppressive. Nighttime is scary. Starvation is a genuine concern.
All of that compounds to make it much too stressful for me to properly enjoy. Skill issue, I guess.
