Remember: Happiness is a fridge full of frogs legs. Chilling out on Discord with a friend whilst pooling your resources to try to keep each other alive against the increasingly brutal effects of the seasons. It’s Endless you’ll likely find most enjoyable. In keeping with Klei’s attention to detail and balance across its games, the core Don’t Starve experience is tweaked across Together’s three modes-Survival, Wilderness, and Endless-to ensure revival items and certain character abilities aren’t overpowered. The mutual blame when a Deerclops stomps through your camp, ruining days worth of winter prep, is a strategy game in itself. Turns out the developer needn’t have worried, because a disaster shared is even more fun. Klei fought shy of adding co-op to its brilliant game of goth survival whimsy for a couple of years, reasoning (not unreasonably) that the addition of other people might break its esoteric spell, which relies on feelings of isolation and discovery.
