Valheim was amazing. But it's faltered so badly in the past 2 years that I'm just sad. Very sad.
I bought it the very day it came out for no real reason and fell in love with it. Put about 500 hours in it before any updates happened. Played a little since then but those higher tier biomes are pretty brutal. Gonna wait until it’s 1.0 before jumping in again. Best $20 ever
Same boat here my friend.
1000+ hours, lots of intricate builds. Post Ashlands has been miserable.
With all that, still the best $20 I've ever spent in 43 years of gaming.
Ah man you’re my age. Check out UFO 50. Second best ~$20 ($25) I’ve spent
Or I could just play some sweet Master of Magic (DOS version)... a game so beloved it's still getting actively modded some 30 years later!
I have such a ridiculous backlog to play. Such guilt.
Did it falter?
While I disagree with how long they're been in early access especially when other games are in early access and doing it better... The updates were still pretty impressive. The new biomes were pretty interesting.
They've gotten progressively more poorly thought out though.
Mistlands is glorious, but so fogged in as to be essentially invisible. I resorted to a mod to increase the value of the wisp.
Ashlands is just a brutal, unfun grind. Not hard, just relentless especially with endless pop-in of enemies. Not to mention even more horrendous performance... 20fps on a very high end system is abysmal (rtx 4090, nvme drive, etc).
