Overall, a pretty enjoyable exploration survival game.
Having played Valheim when it was the new hotness, I didn’t understand the hype. I still don’t understand the hype really. The game is.. Okay? But I never latched onto anything about it that struck me as amazing or completely without equal. It’s just a very average survival game that is quite pretty. I hope that doesn’t sound too harsh, because the game is clearly competent at what it does. It works fine, the combat works fine, the building works just fine, but when I play it I don’t get a sense of anything. It doesn’t engage me in any significant way, and everything just feels like your plodding forward just to plod forward.
This is a really fun game, and the thrill of working up to and beating the bosses is awesome. Great boss fight music especially with the first boss fight.
The biomes are diverse and each has their own charm to it.
Id like to see a graphical overhaul to some of the textures of the game.
Had a great time playing valheim dumped a lot of hours into it the only real downfall is just waiting for the new content. The game wasn’t expected to explode in popularity like it did and due to that the dev had to focus on stability updates instead of new content in the easy days of the release. Aside from that its a top notch game, Small developer smaller price tag and AAA Quality.
What to do in valheim:
In my opinion Valheim is focused on exploration and building. A lot of the pieces and materials in the game are purely for aesthetics. You don’t *need* fancy shingled roofs but my god do they ever look swanky. It also feels very exploration focused you always have to sail to new areas to get more materials most biome specific things like iron, tar, copper get consumed forcing your to explore ever further in search of riches. Also the way Valheim is setup you can bring materials in from other servers so if in the end you ran out of something you could just explore in single player or on another server and plunder the riches to be had. You can also join a PVP server and raid someones base for riches! The possibilities are really endless you can be a real viking and pillage and plunder on PVP or live a simple farm life on PVE.
You can build castles and fortresses ever higher the building is endless and creative. Many requirements must be met for each building you construct. If your building will have a fire (needed for a bed or a well rested bonus) you will have to have a way to vent the smoke so your roof must have gaps to the open air. If you have uncovered building( without a roof) you must build it from stone or it will wear away and become damaged by the rain. If you want your fires to stay lit they must be sheltered but still vented. If youd like to build something very tall or a stone overhang platform you must support it with logs or iron or it will fall. If you would like to craft things the station must have a roof ect ect…. It goes on and on. The requirements for different building parts makes building a learning experience every step of the way. Just when you think you have your build sorted you unlock a new piece that you need to shoehorn in forcing you to rethink your build, but that is easily done with valheims destruction system you get ALL your materials back when deconstructing something, its also very fast no length process to breaking it down.
Currently i have made an offline single player game and destructed all my houses on the server i was playing and stored all of my materials in offline mode as you can bring them into a server again when you resume playing. Effectively pausing my progress until more content is released.
All in all I would put Valheim on the must play list for any survival enthusiasts or viking aficionados.
10/10 would play again.
Valheim is one of the more interesting survival games that has come out in the last few years.
You start out being carried by a big bird and are told to take down a couple of big beasts that are trying to leave the realm.
These beasts/bosses all have there own biome in the game, one harder than the next.
You have to start weak with no gear of skills and take on each biome one at a time, upgrading your gear as you go.
Survival in this game actually takes a back seat in this game as you do not have to worry about food or thirst bars.
Instead food is used to increase your max HP and the better the food the more HP you will get which is essential to taking down the bosses.
As is upgrading your Armour and weapons, Getting new equipment is really linear since you usually need to have defeat a boss to get access to a new ore as well as new crafting stations or the upgrades for the older ones.
With upgraded work stations you can level up your gear but this usually needs a ton of ore and you can not carry a lot at once and the portals do not work if you have ore in your pocket so get used to slow walking a lot.
Building has few limiting factors, Buildings need a solid foundation to be stable and the higher you build the less stable it is which results in to your building collapsing.
When you build you feel like you reach instability a lot sooner than you would like.
Also some items need to have a higher level material which personally is kinda annoying because higher level materials also need stronger foundations. This of course does not mean that you can not build large and cool looking bases. But it will take a while to get used to the small little annoyances that valheim brings to building.
The game uses random worlds (With seeds). When you first start to go out and explore you quickly find out that the world is make up of a lot of different islands.
So boats and portals are your main source of travel. There are multiple different tiers of boats in valheim from a simple raft to a viking long boat (that you move on your own somehow?) But in my opinion they all move really slow even if you go with the wind.
Once you reached a island it is recommended to place down a portal and link it up with the one are your base because trust me the last thing you wanna do is run into a high level biome, die, make a new raft and sail for an hour just to die again and repeat.
As a quick the characters you make are not bound to your world save so they are free to use a different world or join your friends world.
Bosses in valheim are large creatures with strong flashy attacks, as well as a large health pool.
It starts out pretty simple but by the fourth boss it is no longer fun in my opinion. Even with the maxed out gear that you can have at this point in the game if feels like you are just slapping it with a leaf. Sadly game progression is tied to defeating bosses or else i would probably have skipped the later ones.
Overall Valheim is a good survival game.
