Woodie is one of two characters that can change their form; if he chops down too many trees too quickly, or if the moon is full, he will become a "Werebeaver." But this form is more useful than you might think. The sanity, health, and hunger meters disappear when Woodie is in his Werebeaver form, meaning that effectively if he were to stay in that form, he could survive indefinitely. He wouldn’t even need food or items to help heal him — he could simply live forever. But beware, the "naughtiness" score still applies and Krampus can still come after

Red Dead Redemption 2 hasn't been out on PC for very long, but the modding community hasn't wasted any time cracking the game open to create some good content. It will be interesting to see what they come up with in a year's time, but they're off to a good start, alre

Minecraft is already quite similar to Harvest Moon in that it gives you plenty of freedom to do stuff. However, if you want a game that balances both games well enough, then Staxel might be better for your preferences. It has the graphics and charm of Minecraft with the gameplay of Harvest Mo

For the ultimate in cinematic immersion, you'll need to get rid of those pesky HUD elements so that you can focus on the world in front of you. There are many mods for games like Skyrim which can hide the HUD with a simple press of a button, and Quick Toggle Hud and Minimap is one of t

When you load up the game for the first time, it can take a second to figure out how to move around and check out the map. Just in case someone out there is unsure, the way to have a wander around the in-game world is to use the left analog stick on your control

You can grow your farm, meet the villagers, and even invite some friends over online to help you around. All of this is done in first-person, making the game a little more immersive than the usual point-and-click farming Circadian rhythm horror games. Some fans even consider Staxel as a better version of Harvest Moon since that's one of the main apparent inspirations of the developers for creating this g

Meaty Stew restores 12 health, a whopping 150 hunger and 5 sanity points. This does make it a bit tricky to get the most use out of it as many characters don't have large stomachs. It also decays quite fast and requires you to avoid putting certain ingredients in the crock pot or risk making a much less efficient recipe. But if you're starving then this recipe can't be b

Feel like going rogue in the wild wild west? The best way is to rob a bank, old-school style! Bank Robberies lets you strut into any bank, point your pistol at the guy behind the counter, and that's all she wr

Surf 'n' Turf restores 60 health, 37.5 hunger and 33 points of sanity. This makes the dish better than waffles and especially useful around certain biomes. A further advantage of this dish is that you can pretty safely use up any and all monster meat you have laying aro

That’s what ultimately makes WX-78 one of the best options for covering long distances in a short period of time. He can move quickly, especially if struck by lightning, and the chance to find some Gears on your travels is a great incentive to keep mov

A great way to start your day, both in Don't Starve and in the reality. The Bacon and Eggs recipe from don't starve restores 20 health, 75 hunger and 5 sanity points. Not quite as good as the Dragon Pie but still a very respectable recipe. Eggs, depending on the the world you landed in and what biomes are nearby, can be relatively easy to f

Despite calling herself a performance artist, Wigfrid is ultimately a warrior, one of the most combat-oriented characters in the game. She comes with a Battle Spear and Battle Helm that are pretty powerful to start with, excellent starting gear. She also gets a nice boost to Health and Sanity with every successful mob k

If you like to have a party of shadows by your side and reassurance that you won’t go insane, then unlocking Maxwell will be a good way to go. Don't get overzealous with him, though: he has low Hea

Wendy is haunted by her dead twin sister, Abigail. Obsessed with her to the point of talking to her frequently, Wendy can summon Abigail’s ghost to fight alongside her in combat. This is helpful in beating mobs of monsters and keeping Wendy safe. But why is Wendy so obsessed with her late sister and unable to move on? The text from the loading screen involving Wendy states that she "clings fiercely to the grief over her sister’s death" because she’s afraid that moving on would make her forget Abigail. That makes her depressing character seem less weird, but certainly sad

You don't need to be a donkey to enjoy some waffles. In Don't Starve, you just need to gather the right kind of ingredients and throw it all in the crock pot. The ingredients are: a stick of butter, an egg and some berries. There are a few other variations on this recipe but they often require more valuable ingredie
