[@intotheunknown8774]

This is my favorite game.

[@Sam-qr9su]

You are the best man, I love that it’s not trying to be the real world. The art is it’s own style, reminiscent of the real world but it’s arguably more beautiful in its own way. It’s a video game I want it to look like a game not the real world. I absolutely love the way you took this game.

[@kokorochacarero8003]

Valheim has one very important thing most modern games have seemingly forsaken: NO BULLSHIT. It's not a service, it's not a marketing tool, it's not a media ecosystem pretending to be a videogame. It IS a videogame. A very fun videogame.

[@calebcouch2597]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, and it took me forever to figure out but: The building in Valheim isn’t necessarily based on a stability system dependent on the foundation of your base, rather, it largely depends on the “height” of your base. More accurately, the number of build pieces connecting the grounded parts of your base (indicated by turning blue while holding your hammer) to your roof. I can’t remember the exact number of connections allowed, but once a build pieces has turned red, it means anything attached to that piece will collapse, unless it is connected to the ground elsewhere using fewer connections. Think of each build piece as a connection. That’s why the core wood beams are useful for building larger bases, because they are twice the length, meaning you can build a house the same height, in half the connections to ground. Which, in turn, means you can build a taller base! Hope someone finds this helpful, and I hope this wasn’t too redundant 😅

[@Rijads]

It's not overhyped, it has good building blocks to improve upon. Everything being physics based is what makes the game. I always wanted zelda botw coop, and this is closest thing to it, and it is good.

[@evage99]

I saw Valheim on sale, read a review that said "Just play it blind, don't look anything up" and did exactly that. No regrets. The learning curve is steep enough to keep things interesting, without feeling unforgiving. The lighting effects & weather often caused me to stop and stand around for minutes at a time while exploring, just enjoying the world in its simple beauty. I have the itch to start over and work toward the Mistlands stuff from scratch, maybe that's what I'll start tonight after the kids' bedtime :) Excellent review, I think you articulated the charm of the game very well.

[@weirdo7319]

I am literally exactly the same, I find it hard to get invested in games anymore compared to how I used to when I was a little younger during school, but Valheim pulled me in.

[@everythingzone]

Tip - don't use the wikipedia or tutorials when playing the game for the first time. Much of the fun comes from learning and discovering new recepies and areas. Go out exploring and the game will naturally progress until the final boss.

Love the video, and absolutely love this game. Although it always irritates me when people mistake art style for "outdated graphics". The graphics are not outdated, it's simply a design choice.

[@Ratok1]

One of my favorite aspects of Valheim is the way they handle death. Upon dying you loose 5% of all your skill levels, which might not sound too bad, but once you reach higher levels it becomes devastating. This has instilled true fear in me, forcing me into a more restrained play style where the world is slowly revealed to me. I can't just go explore the entire world, because I have no clue what atrocities lurk out there, if I died at open sea in some remote part of the map, then my game would most likely be over. It feels like all my actions hold weight, everything I do is meaningful because I truly stand to loose something if I die: Time, and lots of it.

[@Andreas-vr3mb]

If you do die however your loot never despawns and you recieve a buff called "recently died" meaning if you runn naked to get ur stuff and die it wont punish you over and over. Sail out, instantly smack down a portal and feel free to adventure with some risk in the game!

[@Ratok1]

@@Andreas-vr3mb The buff only lasts for 5 minutes tho. At the point of writing that comment I was pre-iron. The world was still a mystery to me. I still hate dying, since it costs an awful amount of time, but the fear has subsided.

[@joganaround7630]

Game definitely deserves the love it’s getting

[@conniee.]

I first started playing this game when it was a "free-to-play" game on Itch.IO.🧐 When I heard they were going to be going to Stream in Early Access I was very interested in it and what new things were going to be in it so I waited and watched and finally it was on Steam.😲 I watched Tubers play it as it blew up on YT. I started thinking about do I want to get another Early Access game since I was already playing one, 7 Days to Die, and didn't really was to go through the hassle of another update process with another game.😫 But, as I watched other ppl play this, it became apparent that I was needing to play this, so I bought it. Glad I did.😄 It's very different indeed😊👍🏽

[@WickedJawa]

I agree! First time in along time I have got hooked on playing something.

[@corey6297]

After only a few hours of playing I was hopelessly hooked. I saw a review of the game where the players were dropping trees on each other and thought ooohh this looks fun. Several worlds and characters later this is at the top of my must play list.

[@deveyous6614]

The process of gathering ore gets old fast and once you've seen one dungeon you've seen them all. The game has great potential and already exceeds many games that aren't alphas, but it's far from finished.

[@TrairFrair]

I will say that this is one of the less awesome aspects of the game. My least favorite biome was the swamp, specifically iron digging. It literally feels like a slog, mining out iron in sewer XXV in pitch black. Every other biome exceeds this by leaps and bounds. At least when you're in the black forest you are playing cat and mouse with trolls and fending off hordes of wood people. In the mountains, you are contending with the cold and with creatures on ground and in air, and the sheer verticality. It's a shame iron is so damn useful.

[@NinjapowerMS]

Exactly. It's why I thought the game was overrated. Not to mention the tedious process of bringing ores back and forth unless you create a second base and do the same thing again. Also don't get the whole procedural world generation is a good thing. There's nothing to see. If you seen it once you seen everything. You're in an illusion of exploration. Game is a glorified walking simulator.

[@WikkeSchrandt]

I love how small the install is. I have an absolute potato of a PC, so most newer games taking up 150gb of space are just off limits to me. Valheim, even with how awesome it is, only takes up 1gb of space.

[@SugaryPhoenixxx]

Games today are so samey within the different genres. Publishers are too afraid of losing money that they wont ever take risks, so we get the same games over & over & over again with a different plot & a different skin. I feel the same way, I have so many games to chose from, but I feel like I have played one so I have pretty much played them all. I got really into the inde game "the isle" because it was original. Players play the game as a dinosaur of their choice & the only objective is to survive, & grow your dinosaur to maturity. It was a lot of fun, but the game develops at a slug's pace. I wish more developers would think of original things like that. Not another freaking game where I play as a dude with a gun. Same thing with Subnautica, it was so cool & original! I absolutely loved the setting & the underwater environment.

With a friend or 2 this game try comes into it's own. This game is more next gen than anything else in my opinion. It has actual, real object persistence. The world stays as the way you mould it. I now have a network of self madd paths through a huge areas of the black forest. Getting my pick axe out to create the optimal routes. Love this game so much. I bought multiple "aaa" games in the Christmas steam sale.and got bored of all pretty quickly. This is true game cocaine. I swear I forget to blink sometimes playing this.

Ever since I started playing Minecraft I was dreaming of another game like Minecraft, with the only difference that it doesn't look blocky and that it has at least somewhat realistic physics. And this game is it. It also has monsters, you are free to do anything, you need to follow the physics and build accordingly, you can build angled houses and make a much more vibrant town.

[@psantosd1]

There is an aspect that I think greatly greatly contributed to the game success that I dont think people realize (at least I didnt hear no one meantioning it). And that is how they handled movement. What I mean is that you can "feel" movement. I don't know how to put that in words very well. But for example, you kinda can feel the thread when you are pulling a cart (that is the feeling Im refering). The only time I felt this playing a game was when I started playing counter strike 1.5, when you mastered bunny hopping and whatnot. This factor is subtle but is half the way to get immersion right.

I'm with ya bud, The last game I was hooked on was Rust but that kinda wore off a few years ago an no new game has taken it's place.... Until Valheim. I got this game a week ago and LOVING IT! best game in a long time! I love that the character save and the world save are 2 separate things. It means you can bring your character to another players world which is an interesting dynamic that not a lot of other games offer.

I wanna make a video about how people throw around the word 'masterpiece' like they own stock.

The lighting system is really good, different colors of light bouncing off surfaces looks great. Wear the headlight, stand by a fire and look at an iron gate and you'll notice. If the graphics make you turn away give it some more time, the game has moments of real beauty.

Valheim is one of the best games I’ve ever played but I play on a old gen Xbox one so it comes with a lot of lag so the only thing I would change about the game is a way to turn you particles down or even off because that would help a lot

I did everything the game has to offer up until this point (all bosses, all biomes etc). And now beginning a new character in a new world. Such a good game!

Wish there was a way to ramp up the difficulty though, after getting higher levels and wanting more of a challenge at said higher level

I’ve found that since I’ve gotten older, I’m more drawn to the creativity of Indy games. Triple A games are made in a way to please the masses and end up being the same old same old. Indy games are where the true creative developers live these days.

The fact it's ONE GB sort of blew my mind. Heard of this game over the last few months, and as gaming has felt so one dimensional for so long personally, believed it wouldn't be anything interesting or new. Bought it today and just began playing and it's so satisfying. The movement and attack mechanics and feedback is almost perfect. How such a small group can accomplish this while studios with 100's of staff release garbage is just embarrassing.

[@sanguinius3938]

I JUST LOVE, when a indie company, knows exactly, or almost exactly what the public wants to play, knows how to please the community, and has more updates and free content, THAN MOST AAA GAMES, with their huge budgets and massive crew, the world is a weird place these days

Valheim is what you get when you put passion before money

[@synaesthesia4183]

Completely agree!!! They found a market where people have been BEGGING for this type of experience. So well done and yet so simple 😁

[@evage99]

@@namirPL A year later, some players might be re-thinking that sentiment. 😅 It's still a very good game, though Mistlands' production time was a bit suspicious.

Valheim Is A True Masterpiece. i started 4 days ago man i can't stop playing. i fell in love ❤

Its sad that making a decent game is something so rare that people call it a masterpiece.

[@evanbelisle8464]

I think for some people the want to game will fade away but for the generations that were born with video games available will enjoy gaming their whole lives. It’s like saying the older generations will get tired of watching sports or gambling.

[@thepriestgodneverpaid]

Yeah the game is good. It's also terribly optimised. I've seen people with beefy machines run this game at about 40 fps or something like that and since my computer was made for office work, of course it wouldn't work. woah they let u play with opengl. edit: well it still lags. i hav to play with 960x540 resolution.
