15. Don’t Starve

Run or fight enemies for items to craft

Better hurry and grab something to eat

Fight off hunger in Don’t Starve

Wilson is an intrepid scientist who has been captured by a demon and transported to a mysterious, wilderness world.  He must make use of his new environment if he ever wishes to find his way back home.

In this survival horror game, the player is dropped into the thick of things without any instructions or tutorials.  They must quickly learn the rules on their own to gather supplies and craft items in order to save Wilson.  At the same time, it also grants the players the ability to develop their own style of gameplay.  The dark visuals and 2D-style characters inhabiting a massive 3D-world creates a creepy atmosphere.  Never the same, the world is randomly generated each time the player restarts their game, giving no advantage to their survival.

Due to the popularity of the concept there have been many expansions to the game, including a brand new multiplayer game called Don’t Starve Together.
