Valheim

is good

This is a game I resisted getting for some time because I knew it would suck me in. It has and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. The game has some challenge but nothing a bit of effort to learn and understand won't solve and the progression is largely well done where each new biome you must discover the foes, gather the materials and then master it with your new gear. It feels rewarding for it which goes far. This works particularly well when returning to previous biomes where things feel increasingly trivial as you advance beyond them. The addition of world options did much to help reduce the grind aspect of the game (this also features difficulty controls too, so it's quite customisable if you wish), I happily play on my solo world with extra drops so I don't have to put as much time in on the material gathering. Building is great, one of the better systems out there, and I have built many edifices to Odin and to live in, and farmed a great deal of crops. It's my go to relaxation game to unwind and it works every time. What makes it even better is doing it with friends as you fight, work, and build together to raise mighty halls and fortifications (and defend them from time to time). The game is not perfect of course; the ocean biome is too barren and fishing is both pretty devoid of fun and lacking in reward (I usually like fishing to go along with my farming, but not so much here). The armour sets need some kind of additional variety so you aren't almost always wearing the same as your friends, and some building pieces could also do with more alternatives. There's some other more minor things like the inventory system being somewhat basic, and certain weapons/concepts being introduced a bit later than I'd like in not spanning enough upgrades/biomes but this is isn't an obstacle to the game's fun. If you like this type of game you will definitely enjoy yourself here; you get out what you put in and more besides - and that's before you play with friends where it is even more fun.

Until mistlands, all fine. Quite fun first 30 hours. Afterwards, its just bull crap. Infinite grind, stupidly OP enemies and just weak magic that was introduced too late. Hotlands are just unreasonable in all regards. Its quite obvious devs don't play their own game anymore, no reckoning for neither optimisation or gameplay enjoyance.

Greatest survival craft game of all time. The actual goat of survival games. The atmosphere for Valheim is unmatched as well as the music. The simplistic graphics make the game that much more enjoyable. I spent almost 500 hours on this game and still haven't fought half the bosses the game has to offer. The grind is very fun and honestly never gets boring to me. Enemies feel well balanced the and the skill sets are fun to level up. I spend a majority of my time building villages. Going into 1.0 ill probably finish up my world and then start a brand new play through. People complain about this game taking so much time to hit 1.0 and that other survival games hit 1.0 quicker but those games still can't match the vibe Valheim gives off. I probably wont have the game finished until i invest another 500 - 1000 hours. The game has so much content and replay ability that its worth the money, on top of this there is a ton of mods you can get to make the game never ending with content.

После почти 300 часов в данной игре, я бы не рекоменовал эту игру для тех у кого нет много свободного времени, потому что в игре есть много однотипных действий без какой либо автоматизации процесса. Так называемого гринда, одному в этой игре на нормальном уровне сложности в принципе делать нечего. Игра расчитана на кооп от двух человек, но даже вдвоем, в тех же пепельных землях делать нечего, потому что сложность данного биома неадекватна, мобы респаунятся в реальном времени буквально на глазах и в большом количестве. Начиная втроем, с настройками рейды минимальный, перенос руды через порталы - да, один из нас задушился уже на горе, от копания серебра, со вторым товарищем мы дошли до пепельных земель и дропнули игру, как бы нам не хотелось дойти до конца, сломанный портал на берегу, стал последней каплей, он не пережил собаку, валькирию и десяток скелетов. RIP Так же последний биом бы сделан как будто наспех лишь бы что-то дропнуть, мобы телепортируются, взлетают на 90 градусов в небо, а потом появляются у тебя за спиной, очень много однозвездночных мобов, которых даже прокачанным мечем ковыряешь как зубочисткой. Попробуем залететь на 1.0 возможно баланс будет исправлен, но я сильно сомневаюсь.

I hate this game

Great to play with friends. Definitely has some issues with lag and can be difficult to play on a computer that isn't set up for gaming. Been playing for years in early access and am excited for it to finally be in 1.0 soon. The progression is a lot of fun and it is really rewarding to get to new areas where the difficulty ramps up and more mechanics are introduced.
