Valheim

i hate deathsquitos. 8/10.

I was never into survival games that much but this one's an exception. Its crafting and survival aren't as restricting compared to other games in the genre, there's no constant nagging about hunger and other statuses which impedes progress. Valheim stands out from other survival games because it takes out those tedious survival systems. It never felt grindy to me, it's just pure fun. It's very chill, and even death is forgiving.

Even though it's still in Early Access, I've invested some 90+ hours into this game within a week of playing. It feels polished enough to be a stable release. Props to the dev team for that, they only have 5 people working on it and they nailed it!

Overall, it's a very good game. From the crafting and building system, to the bosses, to the survival mechanics and more, it's definitely going to keep you hooked for hours on end. Highly recommended. 👍

Also, the game looks gorgeous! 🤩

Valheim is what survival games should be.

For a long time, I've always wanted to enjoy survival games. I tried several titles but they end up becoming a chore after a few hours. Valheim, an early access game, is successfully getting rid of the chore aspect of survival games. Yes, you still have to hunt, mine, build to survive the harsh world but it's goes beyond just those tasks. You also get to hunt bosses, increasingly craft powerful weapons, and more. It's a roleplaying game disguised as survival.

It's far from perfect. It still lacks diversity in monsters, weapons, armors, building materials, etc. And the visuals has a lot of room to grow.

I recommend that you try it now. It's not that expensive and the growing community is a good sign.
