Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
For example, you can play in a sea world with different resources and structures, its basically a brand new game... but, crucially, none of the issues are really resolved, its just a reset, an alternate campaign that will have all of the same problems as the original game.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
That is to say, not good, I like minecraft a lot but I only play modded, and the creative building/ tech progression are some of my biggest reasons why I play that game.

It takes the challenging survival mechanics of the original Don't Starve and expands them into a multiplayer experience where teamwork, planning, and adaptability are essential.
