10 Times Permadeath Made the Game Even Better

Nothing is quite as devastating as looking at the corpse of your fallen permadeath hero.

Don’t Starve

Losing. My. Shit.
Losing. My. Shit.

A game that made a name for itself with it’s striking artistic style and engrossing game play. Don’t Starve really shines when you set the difficulty to the highest possible, where death results in the end of your journey for good and the deletion of your save file. Suddenly this zany looking indie hit is anything but a joyous trek through the wilds.

You can relate to the nearly helpless, quirky characters and quickly find yourself deeply attached to the little buggers as they merrily skip across the screen. You watch them struggle for survival, day and night. Eventually, you fall in love with them and their adorably nifty personalities. Then late one night, a pair of shadowy arms mercilessly tears them from you, as you flail desperately in the hopes that something you do will the stop them.

Alas, the night consumes them and you’re left with a broken heart and a need for some space from the game. Or you could have just accidentally set your base, and your self, on fire while moving some things around, which is probably the lamest way to go. Well, next to starving.
