This game actually made me feel a sense of adventure, which I haven't felt in a long time. I have also discovered a passion for designing chimneys.
So funny... glad I'm not the only one.
Did you turn the cooking station sideways? You can place like 6 of them sideways in a fireplace to give it nice gated pit and cook stacks in seconds.
I definitely got the same feeling when i first played breath of the wild.
@@NOSfusion Yeah. I also just put cauldron on top of them.
Might look ackward to say the least, but it saves me the space for another campfire.
@@cimerea I did the same, but not sure if I like the aesthetic haha
Lets talk about how the install size of this game is less than 1gb!
Nice, I'm assuming it's like minecraft where once you start exploring your huge world you just have a save file that grows larger.
@@SentryxVoid that's because it looks like a game from 10 years ago
@@IvanMallia I love the art style of this game personally
its shader resolutions very low so yes its logical that its less than 1gb
@@IvanMallia yeah and? Graphics aren't what makes a game great. My favorite game of all time is from 2000.
My first death was cutting a tree down, lol. My second death was from smoke inhalation, because I did not vent the smoke out of my house.
I think 99% of first deaths are by trees 😅 me too
Same here lol
my first death was when I chased a deer into the dark forest and met a skeleton.
I haven't had a tree death yet, but I still laugh at the videos of people getting crushed by trees.
I also tried to trick my friend into getting crushed by the tree by saying the weak spot was where the tree fell.
Same. Ridiculous game. 1 star reviewed and uninstalled.
@@TheRABIDdude bruh
It's insane how much traction this game is getting. Honestly reminds me of the hype when Minecraft/Terraria first came out and it's making me nostalgic
I love it, I checked steam charts and Valheim has made new concurrent players peak record every day since release...
Terraria is pretty niche compared to Minecraft. Or even Valheim for that matter.
That's what I was thinking too! This game gives me mad terraria vibes, it's awesome
@@SackyBalls444 Terraria has sold over 30 million copies.
its fun but its alpha and weak in obvious areas
I like how the game rewards you if you do something, instead of punishing if you dont. Like the hunger system. You cant die if you dont eat, but eating food gives you buffs that raises your max health. Health starts at 25, and if you eat a berry; mushroom and meat you end up at around 88 health instead.
I still don't understand why more games don't do this. It feels so good to make that progression of getting more HP as you vary the food sources.
You probably know this already, but it's also worth mentioning that eating increases your stamina too.
Sorta reminds you of monster Hunter food/health mechanics.
@@AwakenToReality Directly inspired maybe, it's literally the same system. I love the food system in those games too. Outward is another similar game that revolves around eating. You can starve in that game but by the end you're eating all the time anyway.
I mean... you are basically being punished by having very low health. It's like most mmo's food system. You have a set amount of health and if you eat you gain buffs, and since the buff is so good being without it is like a debuff as you are lower on resources.
What's sad... not even close to complete game looks more interesting then fully fleshed out games of its kind.
*cough*
Wild Terra 2 lmao 🤣
The difference between "fully" fleshed. And "fully" realized.
Nothing sad about it. There are plenty of good games coming out all the time so there's really no reason to wish for what could've been when you could be playing a better videogame instead. cough Cyberpunk.
I think it looks pretty like your standard survival fair with OK graphics
@@AuthorityCat hold on are you trying to say Cyberpunk is a better game even though it has game breaking glitches? Im fine with you not liking Valheim, but come on Cyberpunk was the biggest let down of 2020.
This game kicks the entire ass. One thing remarkable about it is that they went early access *after* they had a solid gameplay loop and *after* they had a stable relatively bug-free world.
That's how it should be: stable and engaging from the very beginning.
Yeah, but there is nothing left to do once you beat the five bosses.
@@generalawareness101 beating all the bosses takes a long time tho. Plus I heard they plan on adding new bosses, up 9 of them including the first five
The only problem i have with this game is the fps on big builds and when near a lot of fire sources. Maybr it's just my low end pc bit i heard people with a high end pc has these problems as well
@@1anfinity08 Yep, this game is far from over as there is a tremendous amount of content that will be added. Nothing in the Mistlands and the Great North and the Ashlands needs love too. It will get more content for sure or they will be in over their heads and can't add it.
Me and my friend found some barnacles on a rock in the middle of the ocean. We climbed up the rock and started hitting the barnacles. The only problem was that the rock we were standing on wasn't a rock.
All hail the great sea turtles!
holy crap that must've been an awesome moment!
I was in a server collecting rocks or some shit when I heard “hey man uuh I don’t think that’s an island” and the “why is my screen shaking WHY IS THE ISLAND SINKING!!!”
Happened to me also it started shaking like an earthquake had to leave on my mini raft or my char drowns for sure
@@duckyown What are you doing with a raft in the ocean tho 😩
This is what MMOs used to be. The unknown. Now mmos have everything handed to you on a silver platter. Loving this game alot.
You are so right !!! Great game 😍
Maybe check out Ashes of Creation. Its still a year or 2 away but there going for the old school hard mode that you might like.
Is the game online?
@@SonnyPlaystation yea it can be played online
Agreed. Valhiem is the first game I've played in so long that gives me a sense of adventure and a desire to explore. It's phenomenal.
This game, brought back the lost feeling all gamers have been missing since the good old gaming days.
So true... :'(
When i was playing i was grinding to get the map full. So i walked around the entire island and thought okay this is a pretty good size. Then i checked the map and found out i could zoom out. Everything i just discovered on the map was a basically a dot on the map
This is why I'm considering not using portals at all. Haven't decided completely. I'm enjoying this sense of thoughtful exploring and planning. Rebuilding the damaged structures into tiny outpost while useful already would be critical without portals. I explored my entire starting island marking my map as I found poi's before I had portals do this. Took 10 real life hours and it was grand.
Portal is definitely great for sending all that excess wood and stone home though for sure.
@@warriorfire8103 I wouldn't worry about that, you can't take metals through portals so there is a lot of boat travel :)
@@evilmac9623 I'm really happy about that too. Definitely a good balance.
@@warriorfire8103 while I understand the reasoning behind it I just hate that I can't stand the fact that your can't take metals or ore through portals it makes literally zero since the fact your weapon and armor are then made from that metal so now suddenly it can go through portals? Like what that's not how shit works either you make a sacrifice and only leather and wood weapons and armor can go through portals or metal in all its forms ore, ingots and armor/weapons can't go through at all no matter whag
@@daoofpotato7238 There is a mod that fixes all of that
Valheim is quite literally one of the best games I have ever played. The thought they put into this is unreal. Unbelievable depth for an early access game.
I guess you haven't played many games if you really think this is a good game. Or there's something wrong with you.
I agree. The game is amazing. So much depth.
@@NBGTFO Idk about him, I have played many games, different genres, think about any genre, but this game is so so so good, having played old mmos, runescape, early minecraft, skyrim etc this game is somehow nostalgic to me, makes me feel like im 12 years old coming home from school on a rainy winter and playing videogames all afternoon.
@@NBGTFO looking at the reviews on steam, I think it's much more likely that there's something wrong with you
@@NBGTFO shutuptroll
Its actually amazing how even the youtube comments are overwhelmingly positive. Surprise game of the year already crowned IMO.
I doubt it sadly. Many games last year deserved goty but the last of us 2 got the spot even though a lot of people didn't enjoy it. The spot will always be taken by some triple a trash that shitty gaming journalists vote for.
@@theogknight2292 yeah, as it stands, most games gets chosen not by how fun it is, but by how “profound” the story is. Basically, throw in some shock factor factor into the story, and boom, goty
This is not GOTY worth. My 12 year old cousin could make a better looking and playing game in Unity.
Literally looks like ass and the gameplay is so outdated its not funny.
@@Captain_Frosty Ah yes, because we all know how ark and cyberpunk turned out: Terrible lack of content that made it seem like you didn’t progress at all as well as relying on graphics which were shafted performance.
Bought 4 copies for the family. We all play together. Good fun
Now that's what I called spending quality time with the family! 🤙🏼
Bought copies for me and the kids, best money I ever spent!:-)
@@remyspierings9848 Doesnt using child labour to grind resources break labour laws :)
Sounds like a fun family
A family that grinds together, stays together!
2 million sales, they own steam now
Over 3 million now.
4M

1 billion
even kids in Africa are playing it
@@a.h.543 hilarous
I remember when the PC show showed this game, everyone was puking on it within the chat ''Oh N64 graphics, oh another survival'' and all I see now is just positivity. How things can change.
Yeah its nice to see. Sadly there are some stupid negative reviews who complain about graphics being bad and someone said that there is only 10 hours worth of content, while he played only 1 hour...
I think people who obsess over graphics are why we have so many Triple A games that look great but lack satisfying gameplay and storytelling.
Twitch chat or any other platform chat is full of entitled snowflakes and "funny" people seeking attention. Every popular gaming events are like that.
tends to happen when all their favorite streamers/youtubers start playing it and liking it
@@0mnicide Yeah because this game has incredible storytelling and satisfying gameplay... 😂
The bird creatures, are Odin's Ravens, the Norse mythology throughout the game is super accurate and just really cool.
Killed a lot of those in God of War
More or less. it also invents a lot of stuff themselves.
However the couples of things they get right is pretty decent.
Where are the jotuns tho?
You sure it's not Vergil's raven?
Tried so many survival games over the years and not bothered bying them because of quality/not getting improved/updates quick enough etc. This I bought on Steam after three hours. This is how you release an early access game.
Agreed, I feel like this game is more complete than a lot AAA titles that have massive day one patches. I really hope the revenue from all the early access purchases allows the developers to dedicate the time and resources they need to make this game great.
What makes this one stand out to you?
Have you played dayz it’s nowhere near this game but it’s not a bad survival game if you play on a hardcore server
No one's going to talk about how spooky it was at night during your first time playing!? Gave me the goosebumps hearing the noise and seeing yellow, blue, red eyes, etc. chasing you. I also love repairing and building off old abandoned huts, houses, and ruined stone towers.
@PandaWiz you can destroy the nests to get a queen bee and make bee hives/farms to the farm honey
Omg it was scary for me!!!! It gets so damn dark then those noises and suddenly eyes appearing! I run to the shore 😂
Yeah didn't know trolls were a thing till one jumped me and killed me. Then when I respawned with nothing a random greydwarf raid started at my base. That was an epic 20 minutes of panic.
Very true. Also was scary going into the burial grounds in the black forest for the first time.
Nighttime is seriously creepy, especially when you first hit the black forest and see all those burning eyes coming at you. Or when you can hear them outside, scratching at your door trying to get in !
"crow thing" is Hugin, one of Odin's Ravens (the other being Murin). They represent thought and memory.
Thank you for that. Glad to see that people are enjoying the mythology aspect of the game
Munin* but otherwise yes their names mean thought and memory in old norse
Ahhh shaddap
Never pegged Odin for a hugger hmm
Munin that is
I cannot stop playing. The other day I died after I sailed across the ocean before I could build a spawn point or set up a portal. So I was completely screwed, all my tools and gear gone. I built a raft and set sail as my heart pounded not to encounter a sea monster. Luckily I made it back and spent 10 hours building a base before recovering my gear. This is like the Everquest of survival.
Hahaha same thing happened to me. But I died trying to recovery my body. Lost 2 sets of gear and weapons to those damm mosquitoes. Ended up slowing down my pace, but finally got my gear back. Made sure to have a base near by aswell
Everquest of survival. Best way to describe this game lol. Love this game.
That is exactly what makes this game so great. You start playing at noon and look at the clock after a little bit of playing and it’s 3am the next day.
That's sounds like something you'd do in literally every survival game
@@ibone5028 Same here but then i found out you can one hit the deathquitos. Remember that their dmg was nerfed by 50 % :P Cant imagine how scary they were before the nerf
I just picked it up last night and literally stayed up til 3am just building a cool viking house. The building in this game is amazing.
And I still have peeps saying that the building in this game is limited. Whaaa...?
@@RaZeyLWindBladE the building is actually really in-depth, and they’re adding more home building stuff pretty soon.
Same lol! Though..... lacking friends xD🤭
@@RaZeyLWindBladE it kinda is tho. building in this game is kinda boring. build a base in space engineers and you'll know what good building is. this game's building feels just like conan exiles.
Building kinda sucks right now. You need a roof over everything.
This game is fucking amazing. I'm playing it with 4 other friends and holy shit it feels like an adventure
It's wild to me that this is an early access game. Why go to the moon when you can go to Valheim.
I have pledged my allegiance to Valheim. Berserking and boats baby!!
Graphics are trash are you blind?
@@calidude1114 Its not trash its this games own style and i like it and it seems that all you care is graphics and there is more important things then graphics.
@@calidude1114 ah yes, because graphics dictate game quality lmfao
Imagin going to the moon on valheim
I was holding out - But since you like it, and I trust you, I might as well dive in.
So if he eats poo 💩 so will you?
@@EDDYEAGLE LOL
same
@@EDDYEAGLE as you should
Fair warning that all the band wagoners don't seem to tell you
The combat is OLD, like ever quest or something.
The building doesn't snap well.
The graphics are a mix of gorgeous and old as heck.
This doesn't mean it's bad, it's just annoying people are ignoring that this game feels super old but has great bones. The game is not great yet, but it probably will be.
I absolutely adore this game - it feels like i'm playing a multiplayer Elder Scrolls game with survival elements....
Dont say that, im looking for such a game for a while now. I spent over 600 Hours in Skyrim.
Get it, its insanely fun with friends. You make your own adventure and even though the graphics dont look insane, there something mesmerising about them. For 20$ its a steal, you can get a ton of playtime and good memories.
@@xKenn I'm 99% sure it's different lobbys different progress
@@rezadotgg No, your character can be played on any server. You carry over what's in your inventory. I would set up a mining camp on my own seed, log out and stash it in my main house on the dedicated server i'm playing on. You're also able to log in and help friends etc. on their seeds.
@@xKenn your character is saved locally just like terraria
i like that you finally don't need to eat and drink every 5 seconds like most survival games
but you do lol
@@Soccerbro138 you won’t die if you don’t
So you don’t ‘need’ to
@@disconnected.2094 ya but your hp and stamina is solely dependent on your food. I think thats more so annoying. I'd rather eat or drink to boost stamina/max hp couple times an hour instead of having to eat something to stay above 25 hp every 10minutes or so
@@Soccerbro138 if you parry at right time, will kill anything, also bow keeps them at distance, only time I find the need to eat is mining
This game makes me feel like a kid at Christmas, playing Minecraft for the first time in 2010.
Just from posted video, looks like the character graphics are from back about then too?
@@Kayenne54 yeah but the lighting and particles in this game is amazing. The low poly graphics doesn't really bother me personally
Same here!
@@1anfinity08 graphics aren't even in my top 5 necessities when I look for a good game. I have hundreds of hours in terraria, around 80 in ror2, like 55 in gunfire reborn, over 2000 in minecraft and a lot more that I don't have tracked. I think gameplay should always be the number one focus of any game.
I have been totally taken over by this game. Nothing is scripted, Do what you want when you want. I love not knowing what is going to happen next! Thanks for the video.
IT's really your personal world if you want. berserking and boats baby!!
This game is absolutely amazing (also their are more biomes you haven't listed or haven't seen yet .. keep exploring!) Game has an old school exploration feel to it. I love it
Reminds me of(taken me way back) Ultima Underworld back in the early to mid 90's. Haha ya that dates me.
@@imonyourside8376 Yep exactly! Or original EQ. Both dating ourselves here. These kids think it's "Easy" because they use guides and find out how to cheese things online or cheat (or in these cases never even played it). They have no idea how to just play a game spoiler free and corpse runs in many areas of this game are no joke. Not to mention the lengthy trips to get ANYWHERE. I'm nearly 80 hours in and approaching the 5th boss, but now I'm going to take my time and build a camp now that I have it fortified against... things that happen.
Casual gamer here. I heard it's great with friends but do you think it's just as fun solo?
@@sm7085 It's alright playing solo and you can skip night faster on solo play, but if you play in a server, the night is not skipping time unless maybe if everyone sleeps together probably. But just make sure to hunt the first boss to make progression faster and so you can finally mine stuff, I was stuck with picking stones and flint at the 1st day instead of meaningful progression lol.
@@sm7085 It sucks with your Friends, joined a server 1 week after my friends, now im stuck with stone tools because stuff in dungeons dosent respawn.
Note: 20 options on nasal hair length, and bicep circumference at character creation are not necessary for an entirely engrossing game!
Getting mobbed while trying to build a landbridge to haul a cart cross-country felt epic lmao
Is this a strand game?
Funny that this game is also from Sweden, just like Minecraft. They really love survival games ovevr there lol
Yeah and they’re good at making them
Raft too
This game is well worth $20 even unfinished it blows away most games I’ve played of this type I bought 3 copies 2 for my wife and my self and 1 for my grandson
I've sunk 100 hours into it already, I've only completely explored 1 island, partially explored two more. Last night was my first time crafting an iron tool, I spent about 50+ hours in the bronze age just foraging and building a proper home and cultivating the land.
Immersive is a criminal understatement. Literally everything feels like an adventure, even just going into the woods to cut a few trees down.
I spent loads and loads of time making a super-base which is impregnable. Troll and draugr raids no longer worry me. A pissed off troll wrecked my first base and that was the inspiration to go absolutely crazy and build a flattened 'hill' 8m high the size of a soccer field, with a moat. Suckit, trolls. So after 200 hours I'm still exploring swamp biomes.
This is the only game that makes creating chimneys a fun process
Elevate the floor and put the campfires underneath. My whole house has heated floors
When this game gets it's finale release and they quote all the games journalist for its trailer, if I had not played the game nothing would make through money at this faster than reading "This is the only game that makes creating chimneys a fun process"
HA! I remember creating my first one and I was so happy. Best 20 bucks I've spent in a while.
@@AussieZeKieL wait, that's illegal.
Bought this game 2 days ago and I have already sunk 20 hours into it -_- that should tell you 2 things, firstly I have issues but second(and more importantly) the game is great. 100% recommended
I've put 20 hours aswell, and still on the bronze age!!! Spending alot of time in my solo and friend server building up towns
Seems addicting, thats dangerous
@@porkerpete7722 lol any hobby you truly love will appear to others as addiction
@@dansterstuff I only got 7 hours on it. Took me a solid hour just to build a good-looking archer tower to my palisade wall to my Viking home I upgraded. Before I fought the first boss I grinded leather armor, shield, bow, fire/wood arrows, and etc.
never been into survival games but this game has me intrigued.
TRY IT... You won't regret it.
its great ive just played it for almost 6 hours but mostly ive just wasted my time by chopping so many trees and building a massive base xD
its just the exposure and group pressure
I’m not at all into the survival genre. I thought it “looked cool” and picked it up.
It’s the most fun I’ve had in a game in years. It feels like a grand adventure. Everything you’re doing is meaningful. No game has any business being this well done. Sincerely.
@@AlgorithmMockery good to hear. ill keep my eye on it. the early access tag still rubs me the wrong way though. maybe ill wait till it gets finished.
This game has brought back some experiences in gaming I havent had for a long time. I am playing on a private co-op server, and I am stunned. The immersive aspect of living and exploring this world is excellent. Every night I log on, I walk from my house to the town we built in the meadows. I stock up, and then head out with my party members to explore. No quest....Just explore. We have been having a blast! There are constant surprises, and discoveries. The act of exploration is fun in itself. The first time you build your boat and leave the shore....The game is in fact one of the most epic experiences in gaming I have had in a long time. Not since Everquest have I been this excited to log onto a world.
Been LOVING Valheim. I'm so refreshed that it came out of nowhere and suddenly me and lots of my friends are all playing it together. The way I described it to some friends who were on the fence is that it does commendably and consistently, up front, everything that every kickstarter early access survival game has ever dreamed and promised of doing, but usually failed at or done poorly. And it doesn't feel like it's lacking almost anything. The experience honestly feels thoughtful and composed. What an unexpected joy.
this game made me remember how much I wanted friends... still fun playing solo tho
Know how you feel bud
It is so damn good with a crew! Teamwork really helps.
Welcome to the club
same
Why not be on the discord? Theres loads of open lobbies
I guess wind helps to understand how to hunt better, since wind direction helps being undetected if you hunt from Right direction.
Deathsquitos. That's all I have to say about the planes biome
Love the Morrowind style progression for leveling. No matter what task you are doing you are making progress. Fighting, resource gathering, even just exploring levels up different skills
I love the polygon looking models, heavily reminds me of runescape! haha. I just picked this game up and I am super excited for it!! Great video boss
I made fun of my friends for days before finally picking it up. First off, the game is only 500mbs. Its tiny. It takes almost nothing to run. You could run it on a good toaster.
Beyond that the designers have mastered using scale to their advantage. Everything feels huge and majestic. Sailing through a storm with your friends feels epic.
Gameplay is solid. There is still some improvements that could be made but it's a solidly in depth survival game. Tons of things to craft and ways to build and decorate.
I've never subscribed to a gaming channel before, but your review was so accessible and unpretentious I had to follow!! Thanks for helping me pick my new game! 💕
Archer CLASS : " Exist"
Everyone : " oh boy another skyrims sneak sniper meme "
This game has embarrassed all of the "big name" gaming houses & showed them how to do it. So good!! 👍😎
Sorry what? "big name" gaming houses?
Bruh please stop, these studios don't give af aboutt what this little game is doing. They're worth millions or billions of dollars. This little game won't hurt them in the least bit. Please stop being a nerdy hippy and just enjoy your ugly Ps2 game.
errr..not really?
Well I have not bought a big name game for years. Maybe there are others like me, more than you realize...
What he is saying is pretty legit. Games are so focused on graphics and looks that they dive away from meaningful story, progression and fun. I always say this but, things need to be fun in games not realistic. I can tell in this game that a lot of things are exaggerated like cutting down trees makes a big impact and shakeiness of the screen. Things explode and colors pop and it makes it fun to feel some of that juiciness.
Im 7 minutes in and Im starting to feel like youre spoiling too much if I am to play this :P
I LOVE this game. So many of the content creators I follow are dead silent on it. Thanks for covering it
I just love the little mechanics added in this game like the ceiling building, the whole smoke needs a vent, etc. It makes me so much more accomplished when my base comes out nice
Wait till you get the enemy raids some different level monsters at night with one or two star leader. There's also taming farming and potion crafting
I got raided by trolls recently and let's just say, I have a new different base now.
@@sen5466 Solo base defense videos on my channel that may help you. Berserking and boats baby!!
I CAN NOT put this game down man. It is freaking awesome!
First game in a long time that brought the squad together. Sense of adventure is amazing. I had so much fun just pushing increasingly unwieldy cart through dark forest during our escapade for copper and tin. Also the environment: the forests are dense, nights are dark and weather is amazing. I can't count how many time I have ended up in water because of fog and me being certain that I'm running onto a bridge leading to my small island.
I can’t wait for them to start filling out the map more with new biomes. From what I understand the biomes, the the mistlands exist in game already but they’re empty in terms of monsters and resources. But there’s so many possibilities and this game has some of the best procedural generation I’ve ever seen, it’s so smooth.
My recommendations to new players:
Play with a max of 3 like-minded players
Dont look anything up. Do not. The discovery process is part of what makes this game so special.
I agree. I have one friend who doesn’t like the game, claiming it’s so “linear” and stuff, but it’s bc he wiki’d so much of the games content already. It’s super annoying.
@@ieroshd7912 I remember the old school game guides that took real effort to make. They always warn "this will spoil the experience of you read the whole thing"
Just doing everything by going to wiki is like having someone spoil an entire movie before you watch it. Really kills it.
Just wait until your buddies hop on and you guys build a village together.
Good to hear everyone saying good things about the game. I have it downloaded but haven't had time to play it yet. Can't wait.
Especially given that this is early access, I’m super hyped. I’m already a huge fan and im excited to see what else comes!
Cancelled my wow sub for this. Chopping trees in Valheim is 10x more fun and rewarding than raiding in WoW.
Tor'ghast killed my WoW. Valheim found my heart. Berserking and boats baby!! solo tips video on my channel.
Who the heck is still playing WoW in 2021? That game is complete crap by modern standards.
Graphics and effects haven't aged very well and the combat is very dated.
Mabinogi is so much better than WoW and Mabi is basically 100% free although there are still lots of things to buy in the game, they are all optional.
@@kingzach74 with the recent expansion, wow’s concurrent player base is higher than it’s been in 5+ years. There is a lot that isn’t working right now for sure, but factually speaking it’s the most popular mmo on the market still.
$15 per month is definitely not worth it.

is it poss to play with randoms?
@@joejoe5921 Yes. There are community servers.

absolutely in love with this game, wow vanilla emotional feelings, finally looking forward to get back home to play a game again
Watching this, reminds me of the fun I had playing Conan.
I hope hearth and home brings in more farming and cooking recipes.
I am so in love with this game, and there is soooo much content they can add because of how huge and realistic the world feels. Easily my favourite game of 2021 already.
Good stuff and great coverage, I have been hooked on it too more than I've been to any game for a long time.
It's like if Guitar Hero decided to become a survival game by taking runescape out for a one night stand and the baby was raised by Vikings.
Brilliant
A week before my friend told me about it I was bored out of my mind. Now I sink alot of hours into Valheim and i enjoy every minute of it. 20USD well spent. Every day is an adventure and I'm discovering my unknown building skills.
Useful tip about portals. In your home base make 2 portals. One is named HOME and static. The other you change depending on destination. Make a post will all the location names. If you place a portal somewhere in the world, set it to HOME. Once opened rename it to the location ie "plains" then immediately jump in the portal after setting the new name. You will arrive at home. You get a few seconds before the portal updates its location to get home without walking all the way back. This is useful for setting up new portal locations easily.
This game got me addicted. And Im loving every little bit. The construction, the exploration. And just thinking that they will add so much more is amazing.
It already looks more promising then AC Valhalla.. And believe me I almost spend a 100 hours in it. Valheim seems fun and interesting.
I mean......the only similarity between this and Valhalla is the viking theme lmao. They're two completely different game genres, so sure, this is extremely promising for an open world survival/sandbox game. Doesn't make much sense
to compare the two games though.
The transition from Black Forest to swamps is rough. Bring a mace and learn to parry well.
The poison is my biggest nemesis
@@sephypantsu yeah, don’t forget the poison resist mead as well.
Best commentary right here. I was a little disappointed I didnt see the lightning deer strike you down, lol.
Thank you for making this video! It looks like a ton of fun!
I hope the devs add in more npc’s not just the vendor who I still haven’t found, lol
It reminds me of old school RuneScape which didn’t need to look pretty to be fun! 😭
Found him today. Im pretty sure you gotta ship to another island first. (Doable with a raft!)
@@OneSpikeyGuy there are two Black Forest biomes connected to the meadow I spawned in, I think he's always in that biome, but I just don't know which, lol
Game is AMAZING, can't put it down.. Playing it all night even right now. :) It's the new Minecraft.
It really is, I haven't felt the sense of wonder i did with minecraft when I first played it again untill I played this 2 days ago, its so immersive and adventurous
This game has given me a feeling of accomplishment i have never felt before. Setting goals and completing them is so satisfying i find myself playing this game for hours and hours and hours without even noticing it. I play both a multiplayer server and a pure solo map. I keep them both separate but both have their own benefits
I finally found turnip seeds last night in the swamp. It was like discovering the cure for diabetes............ I fist pumped. Took me 5 swamps to finally find the elusive little buggers. Accomplishment indeed.
Really liking the new camera setup. Suits you very, very well!
Killed by a falling tree when I was chopping it down. I laughed.
Everyone is making loghouse meanwhile I've been collecting stone to create my castle my mining skill is at 49
I got a server for me and buddies for this game, and ohh boy it is tons of fun having a literal town of people all working together
Two years later it's still 'early access', jam packed with content and the bargain of the century at $20. Discounting the ocean biome, they're working on their 7th biome and it just gets crazier and crazier. I'm at 200 hours played and I still haven't taken on the 3rd boss but I'm having such a blast I don't care.
This game is amazing!
You think the meadows are the safe area until you run across a draugr settlement full of spawners
Very helpful review thank you!
I am primarily a solo player of any games I play due to odd play times. Do you think that long term it could last solo or does it seem like it will eventually push you into grouping? Thanks for all the content Force, have been watching a long time and really enjoy the videos.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the most dangerous enemy in the game... the trees haha
That's kind of normal in a lot of survival games.
@@kingzach74 I've never played a survival game where they can fall on me and kill me in one shot.
And yet again, I'm that weird kid in the corner. All I want is a game just like this.. but with magic. I want to be in this world as a mage. Or hell maybe a paladin, maybe a druid, maybe a necromancer. But no, instead they made Ark 3. Now don't get me wrong the game is amazing. I'm just tired of seeing the same 10 games over and over.
Magic would be freaking awesome. It would open up builds a lot more and build up a dedicated PVP community.
Pretty sure the game you are looking for is called Dungeons and Dragons. Hit up a website called roll20 and find you a game!
@@MrCommentguru I've played D&D regularly so I appreciate this comment. I mean a survival game like this or Conan or Ark, but with magic as a choice. Like Dark And Light but not crappy.
@@9Hookr9 elder scrolls lmao but this game is early access so
Terraria has magic
I've built my house on the coast and made a really nice winding path through the forest to some copper deposits I found. Been going back and forth to load up a ton of copper for a good smelt sesh!!
I spent 3 hours last night building a long house. I had a house with bed and chests, but the act of building a hall with large hearth was a joy. It's a treat.
"There's no concern of me losing my stuff" yeah.. right.
Died a couple times, but never lost my items. Not sure how they happen to de-spawn
@@OneSpikeyGuy I've had it despawn in another person's server.
Been enjoying my time for a week now
What a damn SURPRISE this game is. Never heard of it before the game blowing up right now... got it yesterday and palyed with a friend for straght up 9 hours. Killied just the first boss and we just found copper, that opens a lot whole kinds of itens to build.
I bought the game being very sceptical. I can't stop playing it. It's simply amazing. You constantly have this feeling of not knowing what's gonna happen next, what will you discover. WHats out there in the woods, beyond the water.
This is the standard of what every early access game will have to live up to now.
good :)
Nah, DOS II is the golden standard for an early access game.
Valheim comes pretty close though. :P
I mean not really though?? Not every dev has the resources to make a game good before releasing it to early access. Early access games can be bad, there's nothing wrong with that. TBF this game already had an "early access" on itch. io. It's been out for a while, that's why it feels so polished. Don't unfairly compare it to other games so quickly.
I already have 100 hours , and cannot express how much this game is
underpriced. This games holds ,with exceptions considering the 1gb file size , more stability than most triple a's
It only gets praise, how is it underrated?!
Was not expecting to live this game so much, got it only cause a friend wanted to play it. This game is a breath of fresh air in the genre and I hope it continues to develop on the great foundation it already has!
I've been waiting to try this. I think I'm going to join the fun today!!
