Gestranded auf Monkey Island

Do you know that feeling? You have to compose the soundtrack for a sequel that stays true to the roots of the series while not ignoring the new setting. Well, you're in luck if the theme happens to revolve around maritime matters! Because, as everyone knows, nautical music is comprised of exactly two instruments: the accordion and the steel drum. To be fair, it might sound like Jamaica, but none the matters.

And that's pretty much everything about the music from the second addon/DLC of Don’t Starve. Shipwrecked also follows the tradition of the cheerful, quirky style of the main game, although the circus factor has been significantly toned down in favor of the maritime theme compared to Reign of Giants. In fact, the score now sounds more noticeably like fantasy or adventure fare, akin to what one would expect from a game like The Dark Eye: Drakensang, for example. I tend to like that more, but it doesn't change the conclusion that the nostalgia bat is likely to hit the willing victims among Don’t Starve players. For me, it remains pleasant background music.
