The Therapist Gamer

The PS Vita version of Don't Starve plays exactly the same as on PC and other consoles, so that's pretty sweet.  Your goal is to avoid starvation by any means necessary!  I am not terribly good at this game, but I think part of it is because the risk/reward system is a little imbalanced.  I'd play for a couple of hours and build up a base and store of supplies, but every time I took a risk exploring or by trying to gain certain materials then I'd always die.  It just didn't seem worth it to play for so long and still be unable to conquer basic enemies.

 

Perhaps I just don't "get" that part of the game.  I got around this by changing the settings so that it is always daytime, and I was more successful in this play style even though I knew I was kind of cheating.  

 

Gathering supplies in order to build survival gear is a great idea, but it's starts to get old.  There is no way to automate certain processes - you could be playing for hours but you still need to spend most of that time chopping wood, cutting grass, and picking berries.  It just starts to get tedious and I wish there was a way to streamline things.

 

Overall, the game is a bunch of fun and provides a healthy challenge!
