@@BishopXLR I started playing this game last week, my boss gave me monday-Wednesday off. It’s been one week and I already have 50 hours in the game...you could say I’m addicted

@@eduardstefan6833 I was wondering why I was still spotted when trying to sneak in close to a Deer, then I noted the arrow on the mini-map that I assumed was wind direction.

@@eduardstefan6833 trolls will sniff for you if you’re at a medium distance, and will hear if you chop down a couple trees. I learned this real fast when I first went into Black Forest and started setting up a base like “oh this is just like the meadows but with slightly tougher enemies”; I chopped about five pines and then two trolls came at me from seemingly nowhere. I died a couple of times before I got that base set up haha
Pretty much, yes. This is the first game since Minecraft that has even a remote chance to get me to play it for as long, if they continue to develop it (over a decade of Minecraft now, with only short pauses). It's not the survival part (though I agree that is well done), it's the exploration, the feel of the world, and the building.
Valheim is that one game that made me feel like I actually went back in time and sat down in front of a CRTV plugging in my PS2 and played Final Fantasy all over again. Love the feeling. I find the stylisation of those PS2 style graphics to fit the world of it very well.
It looks PS2 style initially. Although PS2 could never handle so much foliage, especially animated. But then the immense weather, volumentrics and lighting effects kick in and you realise it is not 2003 after all.
Hahaha for me it was Final Fantasy 14. I played it feeling it was a good experience. Next thing I know I've played it every day for the last couple months.
That was my first troll cave experience as well haha, and the troll didnt even have a weapon at that point. He did the ground smash move and i had to leave the cave and build a campfire to heal up faster, then i went back in and got his ass

You get the "rested" buff when you hang out around a house with a lit fire, while you have it your stamina regen is much better and the buff gets longer the nicer you make your house. You can also get better food which gives you a lot more stamina.
when you said "I love this game" I felt happy for you. TBH this is one of the most enjoyable games I've played in the last year. I'm not sure how many hours I've got in, but I'm currently harvesting iron, and I'm about to go against the 3rd boss. My "settlement" has a full wall around it but the house is a disaster, so I think it's about time to just tear it down and build a proper hall.
If you remove the stamina from food then later choice of food just becomes what gives the most health. An archer focused player might want stew or whatnot which would give you 20 hp but 80 stamina while a warrior probably want the 80 hp and 20 stam food. The snapping tool is actually a +. You can use the "faulty" way it works to clip alot of things and make cool designs. If they were to force it into hard snapping then every building would just be a box. Honestly the only valid complain would be the low FPS, i experienced it once aswell.
I think he was trying to say remove the stamina consumption when you chop wood,or shovel the ground or mining.Let stamina be used only for running/jumping/fighting,wich i agree with totally.Also i dont agree with him in inventory weight,it pushes you to use boats/carts for transport and storage.
Exactly what I was thinking. I totally disagreed with the building system and stamina on gathering complaint. I even enjoy the weight management when gathering ores and having to bring it all the way to your base by a cart (no tp allowed), it helps with immersion and makes resources feel more important (I even had to construct a bridge over a river to bring my cart which I enjoyed). However when building, it can become pretty annoying having to go back and forth constantly. Maybe they could add a build item that increases the weight limit once inside your base? I would absolutely love it if they did that. Also while I'm at it on suggesting improvements in case they see this, here are some small n easy (-I think) fixes on the top of my head I think could only improve the game: * Making the character leaving the water less clunky and slow. * Allowing you to repair stuff with the hammer outside of crafting table (maybe with a small material penalty?). * Making it so when you hover with your mouse over effects and ability icons it shows details of what they do (I still have no idea what being cold, being rested, cozy does etc. and I'm too lazy to wiki it). * Making it so when playing on controller you can move forward while looking at the map and inventory like you can on keyboard. (maybe switch the analog stick you select stuff in your inventory with from the one you use to walk with, to the one you look around with? Or.. just make controller keybinds programmable in settings)
Eeh, I sort of agree with some of the points. Don't get me wrong, I love Valheim and me and my GFee have been playing it non-stop since release. The building system is good, but there are certainly many ways that it could be better. I very, very strongly disagree with people that claim that this game has the best building system out there. Combat while satisfying at moments, is extremely janky and flatout broken if the enemy you're trying to hit isn't in front of you at the same height. As for the food and stamina system, I quite like it. I just wish the rested buff would last a bit longer. ~20-25 minutes feels like a minute in Valheim ;P Then again, this is a game that from what I know is mostly developed by two people and some outsourced help here and there. I'm sure all of this will be improved upon given time.

Especially with the traction this game has gotten, the devs have like 4 updates planned on their road map this year and said other things will come if the game is popular, safe to say I think we’re getting more content
@@hathbeenslain Indeed. They didn't expand their studio or work to get updates out faster. We're only now getting the first true major update to the game, nearly two years into EA. Pretty disappointing, really.
i found my swanp after like 20h, i had the taste of what means dying and try to return to get my stuff and be killed 2 or 3 times by one fucking troll near the river and skeletons in the wrong place.
20:35 Powers are actually AOE (at least the first one is) meaning each player in coop can have a different one, and everyone in the vicinity gets the buff when its activated.
I absolutely love this game. My husband and I started playing this game about a week ago. We are addicted. Last night we played for 10 hours. There is something for everyone. It's the best survival, gathering, building, open world game I've ever played. You need this in your life, it takes your mind off everything else.
PvE objectives is one of the reasons I really liked Conan Exiles, what started out as a tutorial turned in to objectives that influence your exploration and progression. Had a lot of fun there just playing solo, so I'm really looking forward to this one too.
"You can't see me, I'm in a bush!" didn't work for me, either. My wife said she could tell I was there. Anyways, 2 years and 7 months after this vid dropped, this has become the greatest game my wife and I have ever played. We play with mods, and they add an absolute ton. I now have over 1,500 hours in the game, and look forward to playing every night (but I can't). Easy game to mod, easy game to fall in love with, the devs listen and fix/tweak stuff, and it's really been one of the absolute best gaming experiences in this old gamer's life (Apple IIe and Atari 2600 are my foundation). 10,000% worth it.
@@watch_todays_noah_jon_kleck_yt There's 1 merchant in the world and he spawns in some Black Forest biome. Which isn't that good, considering how massive the world is, most players spend dozens of hours in the game and never find him. That's what all the gold, rubies etc. are for btw. He sells a belt for 950 gold that gives you additional 150 carryin capacity.
@@kolosmenus over 92 hours in and 4 bosses dead, no merchant. But i have never went out of my way to look for him, hopped onto my buddies world to buy stuff.
There is a cheat to find the merchant by running a script on your world that came out a few days ago. Just reveals the location, you still have to get there. Eventually they need to add a waypoint since it's basically impossible to find the merchant during normal gameplay.
Peon you have a toll called hoe which u can level the ground and raise. the building system is actually great you just have to get used to it. There's different snapping points. this way u can do alot of different things. - Upvote so he can see. the building system is great
@@lambree4947 Agreed. While it's a pretty neat initial system and I do like it, it absolutely needs more work. If you want to build a dock for your ship or a bridge across a river for your cart to haul stuff for example, you'll have an aneurysm trying to put down support beams in the water since building parts only snap on surfaces you actually see. Thus you'll have a hard time building support for your dock/bridge from top to bottom (building them from the water up I find to be less practical if you want to do it the snappy way and care about aesthetics), among other minor-ish issues I'm probably forgetting.
While I agree with the part about the building system, the terrain forming is absolutely horrendous and I want to chuck my hoe in the ocean. Love the game tho.
stamina management gets better as you level up the proficiencies. I've noticed the difference once I started hitting 50+ level proficiencies. You can shoot bow much faster with less stamina usage, run a lot longer with using less stamina usage. Stamina regeneration time is still the same though.
Im loving it so far, 20 hours in. All though I did just sail half way across the map yesterday twice in an effort to pick up my stuff from where I died, didn't even make it on the shore, swamp biome op.
Welcome to the wonderful world of vikings. :) Valheim is definitely an awesome crafting survival game. I almost have 80 hours in it now. Their suggested number of players is 3, though you can go up to 10. Their roadmap hints at additions to building (and hopefully improvements to the entire building process), possibly a new set of enemies, an update to do with the sailing/sea aspect of the game, and a new biome so far. Suggested but uncertain updates include combat, moon phases, brigands, more unique locations, and a sandbox mode. 1: You're supposed to build a base in the meadows (the starting biome) first. :P Trolls, the harder greydwarfs, and skeletons only spawn in the black forest. And they spawn a lot more at night. You can also build a wall and dig a moat around your base preventing mobs from reaching your house. 2: It's better to immediately go for the karve boat. It's so much faster and just better it's insane. Plus it has 4 slots of storage. (since you can't bring ores through portals) 3: As shown in the trailer you can get a cart once you have bronze. It basically has a huge or maybe unlimited weight limit, though you walk slower and slower the heavier it gets. You can also get an item that increases your own weight limit by 150, though I won't spoil how. And 450 total feels just right to me. Though the limited personal slots still sucks. Maybe 1 extra row of slots would do the trick. Stamina management is a pain though, yea. And so is building. You're basically required to make a hoe to flatten the ground, and use a pickaxe to mine out places that have a higher elevation. Which is fine, but the world being a bit less bumpy would go a long way.
Got the game 5 days ago and already have almost 100 hours on it. It has amazing progression, crafting and pve content. I can’t remember the last time I have been this addicted to a game.
So, 2 years later, update me, do you still play valheim, have you replayed it, do you have a crap ton more hours or did you stop playing and did it get boring?
Man, this game is so incredibly good. I've been basically playing this non-stop (with a couple of friends) whenever I have time and it's just so rewarding and fun.
@@willmungas8964 yeah! I thought it was too! I actually built it thinking I could plant seeds. 😂 "Oh, well this is handy" was my thought when discovering the hoe was for terrain.
I would appreciate it if you do more video of this. at least what you have done to the place, what we're your progression with the bosses etc. nice video my dude!
Pretty much all the Cons you listed have in-game solutions. The higher you level a skill, the less stamina you consume. Making sure you bring stamina meads helps too, and creating comfort at home so when you rest you get a stamina regen buff that lasts longer. For better inventory management, there's a belt you can purchase from a trader that increases your carry weight by 50%. There are carts you can bring with you to carry an insane amount of items, and boats have storage options as well. About the flat surfaces issue, not sure you were utilizing the Hoe, which has a built-in land flattening feature to it, there are multiple tools you can use to terraform, not just the pickaxe. So basically the main issues you were facing are resolved through in-game progression.
totally agree - i really cant remember when i had so much fun i just played every moment i could, but Valheim has me hooked... i can't believe this is early access... it feels complete... i can't wait to see where this goes, and i am just happy there is so much content already!
I have over 200 hours on this game and have finished the game( so far the game is still in early access ) And I can easily say that this is the best survival game I have ever played.
Great example of a quality game despite not having the best graphics currently available. A lot of games nowadays focus so much on graphics that you're playing something that's "more movie and less game".
Hey Peon, if you craft a hoe, you can use that to level land. The pickaxe is just for terraforming and mining. Stand in one spot and use the level option for the hoe, click everywhere around you and you'll get flat land! Great video!
This is the best first impression for Valheim, you captured every moment perfectly, the troll, the first time the game sends waves of enemies to your house 🤣 brilliant
bought this with a couple of friends, a few days ago. 50hrs on clock now, 10+ hr days with all of us. Days are just a blur. This game captures what was AMAZING about runescape and wow back in the day. The sense of discovery. Wondering what the f*ck is this for, and then finding out. Adventuring and discovering a vast world full of danger. The progression is GREAT. What I hate about other survival/rpg games, is how tools, weapons and armor are consumable and can break for eternity. But in valheim, they cost a sh*t ton to make, but last forever. So finishing that troll leather set and getting it to R2 feels A-mazing. If the devs iron out the few bugs and desync issues in multiplayer, make the gear even more "diverse", and fix some mobs being INSANELY hard compared to what they are. Like dude the mosquito mobs 1 shot you. They are small insects that are nearly impossible to hit, that's so dumb. Another thing I'd like to see is more use for the cloak mechanic. I love how the wolf coat has it's unique effect of withstanding the cold. I'd love to see more of that. More cloaks you could wear with your armor depending on the challenge at hand. Like if you could make a waterproof cloak out of neck skin or something, to immune "wet". Wolf fur against frost and cold. The yak animals in plains could make you a cloak that made you resistant to mosquito bites. Valheim as an MMO is the game I wished "new world" could have been. Sadly they are chickening out on building, pvp, and survival elements to just make another cookie cutter MMO.
The crafting and boss progression is pretty similar to Terraria. I do really enjoy it though, and the building system is pretty flexible too. Looking forward to the Hearth and Home patch
Use Left Shift to when building to snap objects together Use the hoe to flatten terrain for building You can buy an item from Merchants that'll increase your carry weight
I've never been super into survival games, I typically find them to be kind of "samey". The few that I've put more than like 20 hours into would be Raft and Subnautica. But Valheim. There's just something about it that really resonates with me. Maybe it's the theme/setting, the artstyle, or the RPG elements. I don't know, but I really love everything about it. I can (and have!) played it all day and not get bored. I'm definitely a slower player; I take my time to explore the areas around me, and I play really safe when I fight mobs or bosses. I don't try to push for progression as fast as possible or anything. I want the experience to last.
Been playing this game just 3 days and all I can say is that it’s damn great and extremely ADDICTIVE! It is worth every bit of the $20 cost on Steam. It’s even far better with 2-4 friends if you have that play games.
Best game I've played in a long time and I'm really taking my time to enjoy it. Just tamed my first wolf and I'm bloody ecstatic, just hope it doesn't eat all my boars :D
I think Valheim does a ton right and will play it more around release. For my taste in games, the things that drag it down is the encumberment system on top of needing item slots; would rather just slots and a proper character sheet. I like how there's skill upgrades, so it spreads out player power across more than just your equipment; however, I think stuff like food buffs play _too_ much of a role.
You should DEFINITELY post more of your Valheim gameplay, peon! Half of what got me hooked on your channel was watching you have pure fun playing or do other amusing gimmicks (with the other half being very similar taste in games and combat mechanics). I've enjoyed that video immensely and would absolutely watch sequels if you made any. Cheers mate!
Yeah man; been playing this w the Wife and Discord Fam since day of release. SOOOO good! As for your 'Con' about weight and Stamina; you aren't there yet. (Hint; eat better!)
@@watch_todays_noah_jon_kleck_yt I mean; at NO point can you just ignore your Stamina. In long fights with multiple mobs, you have to be smart about it or you will die. I really feel like they NAILED the Stamina system...
@@casediedwell5094 I highly agree. It adds another challenge to the game and makes you think about how you take fights. Plus, I don't really have many issues anymore regarding stamina because of good food and stamina potions.

This game is going to be so insane a year or two from now
Especially with the traction this game has gotten, the devs have like 4 updates planned on their road map this year and said other things will come if the game is popular, safe to say I think we’re getting more content
1 month old and 115k reviews already it's incredible
And in the end, the devs haven't done really anything and Im pretty sure the game is just gonna fade away. But the mod community is good.
@@Whyexes yeah, it seems the devs weren’t prepared for the game to become an overnight success and weren’t ready or willing to capitalize on that
@@hathbeenslain Indeed. They didn't expand their studio or work to get updates out faster. We're only now getting the first true major update to the game, nearly two years into EA. Pretty disappointing, really.
Doing a fresh playthrough after a while of not playing for the mistlands. and I'm falling in love all over again.
Peon "watch this! dodge, hit, dodge, hit, **le bonk**, Leave the cave" hilarious mate
Valheim gives me the great blind sense of adventure I haven't experienced since Ultima Online back in the day.
True i also said the same thing from Craftopia. But none beats the experience i had with Ultima
That comment has convinced me to play this game. Damn I miss old T2A 2d

ALOT of console users playing this game.
I haven't even left the first island after 40 hours, too busy BUILDING 😭 this game is digital crack
@@raidetac4762 its a huge tedius chore for sure.
@@THAC0MANIC eh, wouldn't use any of those adjectives. Personally I've loved every second of it

I'd love to watch some of the raw footage, this is the kind of game I want to see a Peon Let's Play of.
20:35 Powers are actually AOE (at least the first one is) meaning each player in coop can have a different one, and everyone in the vicinity gets the buff when its activated.
I'm already like 60 hours in, this game is fantastic
Been outstanding so far!
I just got the map marker for the 3rd boss, half the map away...
90+ hours, preparing for the 4th boss.. love this game
rimworld +900 hrs and still enjoying. if 60hrs is fantastic then how do you call +900 hrs?sheep
@@JonesBeiges actually the game has only been out for about 500 hours. So you are just straight lying
I love this game! It's crazy how fun it is even though it's in early access.
Agreed! Been amazing so far!
I absolutely love this game. My husband and I started playing this game about a week ago. We are addicted. Last night we played for 10 hours. There is something for everyone. It's the best survival, gathering, building, open world game I've ever played. You need this in your life, it takes your mind off everything else.
I have to say, I'm intrigued by this game after seeing your video. I appreciate the way you explained and explored some of the game's offerings.
PvE objectives is one of the reasons I really liked Conan Exiles, what started out as a tutorial turned in to objectives that influence your exploration and progression. Had a lot of fun there just playing solo, so I'm really looking forward to this one too.
Lazy Peon: *new video*
Me: “BIG DAMAGE”
BIG MEMEGE!
Glad you're liking this!:) Welcome to Valheim, the land of no forgiveness.
"don't look behind" 12 greydwarves just staring back at you
"You can't see me, I'm in a bush!" didn't work for me, either. My wife said she could tell I was there.
Anyways, 2 years and 7 months after this vid dropped, this has become the greatest game my wife and I have ever played. We play with mods, and they add an absolute ton. I now have over 1,500 hours in the game, and look forward to playing every night (but I can't). Easy game to mod, easy game to fall in love with, the devs listen and fix/tweak stuff, and it's really been one of the absolute best gaming experiences in this old gamer's life (Apple IIe and Atari 2600 are my foundation). 10,000% worth it.
Get the belt from the merchant, brother. It'll increase weight capacity
merchant? belt? where
@@watch_todays_noah_jon_kleck_yt There's 1 merchant in the world and he spawns in some Black Forest biome. Which isn't that good, considering how massive the world is, most players spend dozens of hours in the game and never find him.
That's what all the gold, rubies etc. are for btw. He sells a belt for 950 gold that gives you additional 150 carryin capacity.
@@kolosmenus ^this.
@@kolosmenus over 92 hours in and 4 bosses dead, no merchant. But i have never went out of my way to look for him, hopped onto my buddies world to buy stuff.
There is a cheat to find the merchant by running a script on your world that came out a few days ago. Just reveals the location, you still have to get there. Eventually they need to add a waypoint since it's basically impossible to find the merchant during normal gameplay.
Peon you have a toll called hoe which u can level the ground and raise. the building system is actually great you just have to get used to it. There's different snapping points. this way u can do alot of different things. - Upvote so he can see. the building system is great
its good for early access, defiantly needs some improvements
Its realy great only what it need is better stacking on same level but even this is working almost perfectly
@@lambree4947 Agreed. While it's a pretty neat initial system and I do like it, it absolutely needs more work.
If you want to build a dock for your ship or a bridge across a river for your cart to haul stuff for example, you'll have an aneurysm trying to put down support beams in the water since building parts only snap on surfaces you actually see. Thus you'll have a hard time building support for your dock/bridge from top to bottom (building them from the water up I find to be less practical if you want to do it the snappy way and care about aesthetics), among other minor-ish issues I'm probably forgetting.
While I agree with the part about the building system, the terrain forming is absolutely horrendous and I want to chuck my hoe in the ocean. Love the game tho.
@@KoloXD lol, what about miss placing a floor piece and trying to brake it to remove it, you cant even hit it, its to low to the ground.
“What’s a good Viking name..?” Selects a dinosaur transformer name.

Always can count on you to make a good quality/honest first impressions video. Really appreciate all that you do for the gaming community! :)
stamina management gets better as you level up the proficiencies. I've noticed the difference once I started hitting 50+ level proficiencies. You can shoot bow much faster with less stamina usage, run a lot longer with using less stamina usage. Stamina regeneration time is still the same though.
I’ve been waiting for this
Im loving it so far, 20 hours in. All though I did just sail half way across the map yesterday twice in an effort to pick up my stuff from where I died, didn't even make it on the shore, swamp biome op.
Sounds like you need Bees to help you out ;) Good luck!
@@fredq6118 Ya for real, just got my fermenter up and running. Time to get lit before I set sail, lol

Welcome to the wonderful world of vikings. :) Valheim is definitely an awesome crafting survival game. I almost have 80 hours in it now. Their suggested number of players is 3, though you can go up to 10. Their roadmap hints at additions to building (and hopefully improvements to the entire building process), possibly a new set of enemies, an update to do with the sailing/sea aspect of the game, and a new biome so far. Suggested but uncertain updates include combat, moon phases, brigands, more unique locations, and a sandbox mode.
1: You're supposed to build a base in the meadows (the starting biome) first. :P Trolls, the harder greydwarfs, and skeletons only spawn in the black forest. And they spawn a lot more at night. You can also build a wall and dig a moat around your base preventing mobs from reaching your house.
2: It's better to immediately go for the karve boat. It's so much faster and just better it's insane. Plus it has 4 slots of storage. (since you can't bring ores through portals)
3: As shown in the trailer you can get a cart once you have bronze. It basically has a huge or maybe unlimited weight limit, though you walk slower and slower the heavier it gets. You can also get an item that increases your own weight limit by 150, though I won't spoil how. And 450 total feels just right to me. Though the limited personal slots still sucks. Maybe 1 extra row of slots would do the trick.
Stamina management is a pain though, yea. And so is building. You're basically required to make a hoe to flatten the ground, and use a pickaxe to mine out places that have a higher elevation. Which is fine, but the world being a bit less bumpy would go a long way.
Got the game 5 days ago and already have almost 100 hours on it. It has amazing progression, crafting and pve content. I can’t remember the last time I have been this addicted to a game.
So, 2 years later, update me, do you still play valheim, have you replayed it, do you have a crap ton more hours or did you stop playing and did it get boring?
Man, this game is so incredibly good. I've been basically playing this non-stop (with a couple of friends) whenever I have time and it's just so rewarding and fun.
There is a tool specifically for leveling the ground
I thought it was for farming at first lol but that comes once you get metal
@@willmungas8964 yeah! I thought it was too! I actually built it thinking I could plant seeds. 😂 "Oh, well this is handy" was my thought when discovering the hoe was for terrain.
@@mykulpierce you can build a cultivator at the forge for seed planting:)
My boyfriend bought this for me, yesterday. We played for like.. 5 - 6 hours! It is an awesome game
Been outstanding!
Well he's a keeper.
Looks epic, I can see now why everyone's playing it on twitch, I'm buying it before the price goes up!
I would appreciate it if you do more video of this.
at least what you have done to the place, what we're your progression with the bosses etc.
nice video my dude!
Pretty much all the Cons you listed have in-game solutions. The higher you level a skill, the less stamina you consume. Making sure you bring stamina meads helps too, and creating comfort at home so when you rest you get a stamina regen buff that lasts longer. For better inventory management, there's a belt you can purchase from a trader that increases your carry weight by 50%. There are carts you can bring with you to carry an insane amount of items, and boats have storage options as well. About the flat surfaces issue, not sure you were utilizing the Hoe, which has a built-in land flattening feature to it, there are multiple tools you can use to terraform, not just the pickaxe. So basically the main issues you were facing are resolved through in-game progression.
I love it when he says "big damage" that I see myself saying this when I play games with friends on discord...
My game tend to use the term "big b*lls DPS"
💯😂
Little did his editor know. Editing this was his survival game
This game is the best game ive played in probably 5+ years
Been great so far! Early access feeling like a complete game!
Just for context, is one of those games Red Dead Redemption 2?
totally agree - i really cant remember when i had so much fun i just played every moment i could, but Valheim has me hooked... i can't believe this is early access... it feels complete... i can't wait to see where this goes, and i am just happy there is so much content already!
I have over 200 hours on this game and have finished the game( so far the game is still in early access ) And I can easily say that this is the best survival game I have ever played.
Great example of a quality game despite not having the best graphics currently available. A lot of games nowadays focus so much on graphics that you're playing something that's "more movie and less game".
Hey Peon, if you craft a hoe, you can use that to level land. The pickaxe is just for terraforming and mining.
Stand in one spot and use the level option for the hoe, click everywhere around you and you'll get flat land!
Great video!

Peon: "Watch this. Dodge, hit, dodge, hit, dodge..."
Troll: *Bonk*
Peon: ...Leave the cave
xD
"Some bloody giant tree" ... Yeah man.. Yggdrasil. THE Tree! ;)
This is the best first impression for Valheim, you captured every moment perfectly, the troll, the first time the game sends waves of enemies to your house 🤣 brilliant
You can get a strength belt and it adds 150 in weight for inventory space
This video is so well edited, kudos to the editor!
bought this with a couple of friends, a few days ago. 50hrs on clock now, 10+ hr days with all of us. Days are just a blur.
This game captures what was AMAZING about runescape and wow back in the day. The sense of discovery. Wondering what the f*ck is this for, and then finding out. Adventuring and discovering a vast world full of danger.
The progression is GREAT. What I hate about other survival/rpg games, is how tools, weapons and armor are consumable and can break for eternity. But in valheim, they cost a sh*t ton to make, but last forever. So finishing that troll leather set and getting it to R2 feels A-mazing.
If the devs iron out the few bugs and desync issues in multiplayer, make the gear even more "diverse", and fix some mobs being INSANELY hard compared to what they are. Like dude the mosquito mobs 1 shot you. They are small insects that are nearly impossible to hit, that's so dumb.
Another thing I'd like to see is more use for the cloak mechanic. I love how the wolf coat has it's unique effect of withstanding the cold. I'd love to see more of that. More cloaks you could wear with your armor depending on the challenge at hand. Like if you could make a waterproof cloak out of neck skin or something, to immune "wet". Wolf fur against frost and cold. The yak animals in plains could make you a cloak that made you resistant to mosquito bites.
Valheim as an MMO is the game I wished "new world" could have been. Sadly they are chickening out on building, pvp, and survival elements to just make another cookie cutter MMO.
The best "Early Access" game I've ever played.
100%!
Man this vid was hilarious, and just watching you enjoy what you play makes it a shit ton better
I'm enjoying the growing narrative we are getting between you and your editor - you'll have to get them on camera at some point!
The crafting and boss progression is pretty similar to Terraria. I do really enjoy it though, and the building system is pretty flexible too. Looking forward to the Hearth and Home patch
1st time ive seen lazypeon genuinely enjoying a game.
Considering Asmongold's inevitable watching of this vid, i find the sponsorship extremely funny xd
Few things warm our hearts more than trolling the Withered One
Use Left Shift to when building to snap objects together
Use the hoe to flatten terrain for building
You can buy an item from Merchants that'll increase your carry weight
I would love to see a couple more vids of you playing valheim, exploring, beating the bosses. Maybe like a mini series could be cool?

This game is crazy good. Like for real, its so worth the money, even though its early access. Get it and support the dev!
Early access done right! Feels like an official launch and better than AAA launches.
I've never been super into survival games, I typically find them to be kind of "samey". The few that I've put more than like 20 hours into would be Raft and Subnautica.
But Valheim. There's just something about it that really resonates with me. Maybe it's the theme/setting, the artstyle, or the RPG elements. I don't know, but I really love everything about it. I can (and have!) played it all day and not get bored. I'm definitely a slower player; I take my time to explore the areas around me, and I play really safe when I fight mobs or bosses. I don't try to push for progression as fast as possible or anything. I want the experience to last.
That was the most honest and well made add in a video i've seen in a while. Not intrusive, just informative.
Been playing this game just 3 days and all I can say is that it’s damn great and extremely ADDICTIVE!
It is worth every bit of the $20 cost on Steam. It’s even far better with 2-4 friends if you have that play games.
Editor is going Sive 3 with those sneaky replies.
Glad to know for sure Peon was able to get an editor on board and they're already suffering
Best game I've played in a long time and I'm really taking my time to enjoy it. Just tamed my first wolf and I'm bloody ecstatic, just hope it doesn't eat all my boars :D
Lol shit I never thought about that
Games been awesome so far!
Tip: Don't have your wolves around your base when you're bringing in a new 1 star boar to breed. It gets ate.
wolves are overpowered
Had so much fun watching this. Please do a second part! :D
I think Valheim does a ton right and will play it more around release. For my taste in games, the things that drag it down is the encumberment system on top of needing item slots; would rather just slots and a proper character sheet. I like how there's skill upgrades, so it spreads out player power across more than just your equipment; however, I think stuff like food buffs play _too_ much of a role.
13:58 "*Please help Me*" Lmao someone please go rescue Peon's Editor 😂😂😂😂
This game is glorious and refreshing. Been playing for a week and have already put 10's of hours into it. I can't wait to see how it evolves.
Agreed! Been phenomenal so far!

You should DEFINITELY post more of your Valheim gameplay, peon! Half of what got me hooked on your channel was watching you have pure fun playing or do other amusing gimmicks (with the other half being very similar taste in games and combat mechanics).

@@casediedwell5094 I highly agree. It adds another challenge to the game and makes you think about how you take fights. Plus, I don't really have many issues anymore regarding stamina because of good food and stamina potions.
