Valheim is the magnum opus of the survival genre and its gonna take a damn good game to knock it off the podium

Other amazing thing is the community mods... a lot of variety and life quality mods that increase de imersion in the game... perfect hahah

Why isn't there anyone who is not a f'ing fan boy of the books so we can get an unbiased review?

Gollum is better than Hog-warts Legacy.

This guys knows what he is talking about. Play Valheim guys! IT ROCKS!

Some notes. Why valheim seriously stands out if for the reason that the game actually forces you not only to explore, but to take risks. The one thing i love about valheim is that almost all resources are in different biomes, yet all of the resources such as copper, tin, iron, silver. All have different uses. Even in the endgame. Valheim more or less took terrarias system of "here you defeated this boss. Now you can fight the next one" but took all these resources you previously uses for maybe armor or weapons and now turns them into something you can build with or make other weapons with later on in the game even though it's an earlier resource. That's basically why i got bored with terraria so easily. Terraria more or less dissregarded all the old resources and just made them useless to keep. But in valheim it's almost a must to just keep every piece of metal you can get your hands on for the future. Also another thing i love about valheim is that for getting better foods, like the stuff in the plains, you actually the first time have to just chance it quite a lot. But the reward for it is sweat. You almost have to build a camp in the plains to grow barley and get other resources from there and that's one thing i love with valheim still to this day. Valheim truely aspires to most forms of players, the souls player. The builder and the casual alike. I think in a generation of so many carbon copies of games, valheim shines through both in artstyle and game style.

I boycotted this game for the longest time, due to JK's remarks, however I finally caved and am so glad. So many gay/trans characters. Truly a nice sight in a game.

Thank you for this love letter for Valheim. ❤ I feel this deeply.

I think Valheim just got mostly everything right. The game progresses at a steady pace, with each biome getting gradually harder, incentivising you to craft better gear. Because of that, there is always something to work towards right up until the very last boss which is unlike most survival games where you're left to your own vices and get to a point where you ask yourself "what now?" It feels like an actual game with an actual point rather than just being an open world sandbox. On top of that, all the systems in the game work flawlessly. The building mechanic is the best I've seen in any survival game - simplistic but with freedom for creative expression. The combat is satisfying. Crafting is straight forward and makes sense so you don't have to search Google for answers. Also, the atmosphere in this game is unparalleled. This game immersed me like no other. The graphic style is unique and eye catching, the sound design is incredibly well done and accompanied by the dynamic music which, albeit being annoying after a while, really inspires your sense of adventure. Unlike most games of the genre where I'd squeeze maybe about 50-100 hours out of it, Valheim is a game that I'm constantly sucked back into. There just seems to always be something else to do considering how simple the gameplay loop is. It's one of the only games I've played I could consider to be almost perfect.

I'm getting ready to start playing but it's hard to say it's a survival game when you can't starve...let alone genre defining? I have 500 hours in DayZ. That's a survival game

the building is my favorite part about valheim. i remember my friends always bringing me new materials so i could make an awesome base. also, graves do despawn after an irl week.

well said, fully agree.

@#%@#$% man Reign of Kings was so fun

Too bad the devs are to incompetent in order to hire more people and make this game great,its an okay game,its stuck with us purely because of covid,its lacking in so many aspects its crazy,too bad they took our money and basically run away,dropping 1 meaningful update once a year and fixing some bugs throughout the year.

i cant even explain how masterful of a game this is, something about it is just absolutely incredible. Favorite survival game of all time. The music and atmosphere is UNMATCHED

Could you do a comparison of Valheim Vs. Enshroudded? So many friends compared them each other but I haven't played the latter, and played Valheim only when it was released.

Another banger, for those interested, is conan exiles. Its different from valheim but has similar features and a large and lore rich world.

I agree with most of this but valheim does not respect the players time at all.

Great review!

Valheim is the only "survival" game i enjoy. Wish it had more dungean crawling and mini bosses though.

Back in the day Pirates of the Burning Sea was the best pirate game, still probably the best one ever made.

The graphics aesthetic so bad 😢

Everything is ok, but there are a lot of small details, which may be better. Like, more markers for map or slots for armor+accessory, because it's stupid to waste your investory slots for putted on armour

This is a game, that if you jump in for the first time, don’t study up on tutorial and progress as fast as you can. This game is designed so that figuring stuff out is part of the magic and is a lot of what makes it so amazing. I followed the advice of a RUclipsr I watched early on and stopped watching tips and tricks videos, so that the game would be more my own. If you figure out some hack on your own, it feels so much more organic and your own and the game somehow makes it that way. It’s a much more enjoyable experience. This video is a great homage to the true nature of the game without any spoilers (except how to build a nice chimney). 😂

zomboid is the best actual survival game

its not a survival game you wont die if you dont eat its an action adventure builder

Ok, let's dial it back a notch. It was a good game, but we must admit the world was a little empty, and reacting in it was dissipionting. More you can't do than you can. RDR2, it is not. Hopefully with the second things will change.

Best thing is sailing around the world collecting valuables. And then (just because you are close to the edge) you decide to check how the edge of the map is. The current near the edge sucked our boat and we fell off the world (5 persons). We lost all our best upgraded iron gear and tons of resources. 5/5 would sail to the edge again.

8:30 in high school there was a poster on the wall in the science class it said in 20 years people won't remember what you wore or even what you said. They will remember how you made them feel though. Perfect analogy for video games. I can go back and play my favorite MMORPG of all time dark is a Camelot and it doesn't feel the same, and that's okay because the memories I got from it at the time last forever.

My very fave feature of Valheim is how everything is completely discoverable. Everything in the game you can work out with a little creative trial and error. Items and abilities are unlocked step by step and work together so *clearly* that we were constantly discovering cool things we could do with what we had. Coming from other games that were so opaque and so rushed I felt like gameplay was "read the strat/watch the vid, mindlessly follow the steps, repeat" (Looking at you, WoW). Valheim's richness and freedom are wonderful. And the sailing!

Sailing is just epic, so relaxing :)

ashland is absolutely lit, they did it again, great update

My first survival game was Subnautica and it was such an experience... Audibly it is even better than Valheim - music and noises depending on biome and there were plenty of pretty scary ones... Great after work relaxation in water with Avatar-like glowing sea life! But I think I can play Valheim for more hours than Subnautica while still being interesting.

Valheim is also my absolute favorite survival game, for most of the reasons you've mentioned. Well, up until you get to the Mistlands... In my opinion I think the devs have lost the sauce in their Mistlands and Ashlands updates and didn't know when to say enough is enough in development. I really do wish I could enjoy those two zones as I do the first 5, but I just cant.

Hammer mode gave us everything you mention, but soooo much more fun! I love that it's not fully unlocked like in other long standing sandbox games >.>

Valheim is all about waiting for ur stam togo up again.

I wouldn't really say "ruined". but rather shown that other survival games are shite.

Who else thinks serpent saddles/chains to quickly move your ship is a good idea

Playing other survival games always makes me want to play Valheim

"It's strikingly obvious that the developers of the game have tried to create a game that's respectful of the players' time." A resource collection game with as many impediments to resource collection as possible. You get 32 inventory slots. Four go to armor, four to weapons, usually one for a shield, then three non-weapon tools, three food items, usually some special item like a biome key or ore detector, and then a potion and the stuff to build a portal, for over 50% of your slots filled just with essential gear. This all weighs like 40% of your possible carry weight, but don't worry you can improve that by.... sacrificing another inventory slot. 🤦‍♂ But hey, InVeNtOrY mAnAgEmEnT iS A fUn pArT oF tHe GaMePlAy LoOp. I actually love this game and can't stop playing it, but I'm not sure if that just makes me a masochist.

You should try Soul Mask... It is very promising and has some really good QoL stuff and unique gameplay

have you tried SCUM?

I was totally stuck on the boss after Eikthyr, didn't know what to do. In most games i'd be stuck, but in Valheim i had a friend join me in coop and he showed me what to do. Didn't have to level up anything and that is the most awesome feature of Valheim - the seamless joining into another players game session, and that you can bring items with you. Sure, people can cheat easily by bringing OP gear they spawned, but that is a problem more with them than with online play. First time i saw a troll, i had already levelled up archery to the point that i was able to kite them and take them out from a distance. Got some gold out of it and there were much rejoycing.

imo no this game is good but it still has a lot of problems though fun it's still full of bugs and the whiny baby's that make the developers Nerf certain creatures takes away from the experience

Not gonna lie, when I clicked on this video, I thought you were gonna slag off valheim for not being a "true" survival game. But the video I've just seen is a beautiful summary of why I love the game so much. :)

The most crazy part for me is that his game cost 20 bucks, no micro transaction, no dlc cost, free huge updates etc. i sometimes wish they would charge me more to have more money for great updates but it looks like they dont even need it.

I think Valheim is really good, but holy do i hate the stamina draining so fast and i found mistlands so boring that i just stopped playing. Ashlands seems awesome though might pay the game a visit again.

Much better than enshoured and soulmask Idk why Probably the freedom you have from exploring to building to crafter and taming Farming do need more work

Valheim is Epic do you also like Space Games ?

great video! didnt realise you had 1.5k subs, congrats, keep this quality and you'll for sure become a big channel. sub earned :)
