  Don’t Starve ticks pretty much all the boxes for a game that I should like…but I just don’t.

  I like a number of action roguelikes, like The Binding of Isaac.

  I like the open-world nature.

  But the game just doesn’t do it for me. I dunno. I guess that a lot of the gameplay is clicking on things to gather them, which I am not that blown away by. I don’t feel like I change things up much based on what the world throws at me, which I think is an important aspect for a roguelite/roguelike to have. Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead does a better job of this, The Binding of Isaac a much better. I think that the low-sanity graphical artifacts might build mood, but are obnoxious.

  The aesthetic just doesn’t really do it for me.

    Genre mismatch might be a factor? Don't Starve is not an action-roguelite like Binding of Isaac; it's a survival-crafting game. They are aiming to be vastly different experiences.
