20 Video Game Hard Modes For True Masochists
10. Wes - Don't Starve
Although Don’t Starve is primarily a survival game with an open world, it does come with a story mode that you can beat to unlock the secret playable character, Wes the mime.
Also known as the game’s actual challenge mode.
Despite Wes being the only character that you have to put extra effort into unlocking, he is the weakest and most useless survivor in the entire game.
His stats are much lower than those of other characters, his needs deplete a lot faster, and he is also incredibly weak in combat. His only saving grace are his special balloons, which he can summon to act as improvised weapons and as a means of maintaining his sanity, but unless you are skilled at the game, they are not enough to justify playing as him.
His many weaknesses are the reason why Wes is considered to be a challenge character—a special survivor that you pick whenever you think the game is too easy and want to make your life just a touch more miserable.
Well, that’s about what you should expect out of playing as a mime in a survival game.
