A game you can always come back to. Don't Starve allows for near endless replayability, with content added so often there's almost no way to keep track of it all.

I remember purchasing this in 2014, there was a deal where Don't Starve owners would get this game for like 3 euros. Not only that, but every purchase granted 2 copies. I actually checked my steam history, and I purchased this bundle 7 times, meaning I got a total of 14 copies, which I handed out to friends and family. Wow.

The world is cruel, but can be mastered. In the beginning you will probably die the first day to darkness, then to spiders, then hounds, and this continues until you have finally mastered the basic survival. After doing that, boom, they throw a giant boss at you. This cycle continues until you finally learn to "git gud".
After that, all big threats are optional. Kill the large bosses, get stronger gear, repeat. It's good fun!

Everything happening outside of the game is great too. The Klei forums, the crossovers, and of course the incredible animations they make.
