Don’t Starve Together, the multiplayer expansion of Don’t Starve, has a special place in my heart. When I see the game, it only reminds me the hours I spent running after my friends with food and trying to feed them because they were all dying of hunger but still trying to hunt beefalos and kill giants. Ah, priorities.
But, seems like Klei once again managed to draw my attention to the game. A new update for Don’t Starve Together is now out and adds giants in the form of the Toadstool, Bee Queen and Klaus. Along with that, new biomes are added to the game.
