I hoped was would be a great touch PC game. In fact, some touch aspects were better than the mouse, like running. However a small number of critical interactions didn't work via touch, like placing campfire. While I agree with the Metacritic score of 79, sadly I can only give Don't Starve's touch interface a 'Not Playable'. A forum user is working on a mod to give the game a touch interface. Perhaps this could be promising.

Hearthstone by Blizzard - 3 of 5
While Hearthstone doesn't directly support touch on Windows 8, the interface is clearly designed for touch, including iOS, and I only experienced minor issues playing it. I'll give it a 3 of 5.
Hearthstone touch interface (iOS) coming soon.

Civilization V by Firaxis - 5 of 5
Even two years ago, Firaxis was putting alot of support behind touch. Firaxis released a special patch to enable touch, and it works great! I give Civ 5's touch interface a 5 of 5!

I just paid way too much for a laptop with a touch screen, only to find out that very little *GOOD* software supports touch on the PC. When I find a gem, I'm going to post about it here. Maybe someone will let me know about something I've missed? Maybe enough followers will convince developers to create more? Let's find out.
