Valheim

I’ve sunk 62 hours into it. GET IT! As early access games goes, these developers are doing a great job! Go read the reviews on steam. Yes, co-op is essential for the late game, but it can be played solo casually in the early game. Its actually calming. One of the best thing about the game is that your character, stats, and your on hand inventory transfer with you from server to server. I’ve played with a few friends on a few different servers. Sometimes I’ll jump back onto my personal server to grab some random supplies they need and reload into their game. It’s a lot of fun.

2 things to take note of… 1) The game is grindy…  If you enjoyed minecraft, then you’ll probably enjoy this. 2) It’s early access, so bugs can happen. When you die, a gravestone marker will appear with your inventory still there. You just have to travel back and collect your belongings. Well, one time, my gravestone marker did not appear. All most stuff was gone, and I had some expensive equipment. Outside of that one bug, and one time the game crashed while going from one server to another, I have yet to encounter another bug.

I would love to get a server going with the G&G community!

Dual wielding would be a cool skill! They already have the ability to dual wield in game, granted its with a torch and sword, so it wouldn’t take much to implement true dual wielding. I love being the archer in my group! I understand your hesitation. No Man Sky ruined the “multiplayer” mining/grinding/survival experience for me, so now I required a multitude of reviews before pulling a trigger. After reading that they had already sold 2 million copies within a few weeks (now 4 million within a month I believe), stellar reviews, and watched some gameplay, I figured I’d give them a chance. I’m usually not a fan of early access, but this one is special. Also believe my $20 will go to help the developers.

Well then, tell us how you really feel! lol! I was there on day one for PC (preordered… never again), same with my roommate at the time. After about the first 5 hours of being in awe, reality started to set in, and the rage built up. Needless to say, we’ve been hurt by games with high expectations, but then being delivered very low standards and misleading information (or lying). Love me some ME! I actually still play ME3 for multiplayer. Still fun!

No Man’s Sky is a different game today compared to what it was at launch. They took a really crappy game and made it pretty fun (if you like that type of game.)

I also heard that halfway through development, when Sony bought it, they were told they suddenly have to support all the consoles AND still have the same release date. It would explain the terrible initial game.

Valheim? Valheim? Did someone say co-op?

*actually reads thread*

Don’t forget the recent bug where birds are apparently stealing your boats. >.> I use to be an ARK player and there are a lot of things I’m liking Valheim over Ark – which I was already starting to abandon, but Valheim just finished that for me. If anyone starts a server or wants to get together for a group session please notify me.

So far I died 4 times. 3 times from trees falling and rolling down a hill to hit me, and 1 time from falling off my house.

Good game.
