Wow took the words right from my mouth! Agree 100%
Also for those who donāt like the UI, you can scale it almost out of existence with the slider.
Valheim has boats, digging, wagons, custom-precise teleports, and a feedback button and a truly MASSIVE map. Their GUI scales up and down, and they support 4k resolution. They have a classic, simple skill system. Game looks 80% picturesque with Depth-of-Field enabled at 4k. You can even plant trees!
These are all huge, and they all work well. Graphics aside, the game is doing a few things very right (except graphics) and itās still early acess. They have lot of room for improvement (and to make mistakes). But with a built in feedback button, they are gonna be seeing exactly what their players wantā¦ and with a game so āsimpleā they can address those concerns fairly easily.
You canāt swim underwater, but you can swim on it, or boat on it. Their boats works and look nicer than Atlas system.
If Valheim makes a Sandbox Mode as they stated on their to-do-list, or true multi-player, there is potential for hundreds of players being on a server, rather than 40 or 70. The map will be big enough, they have true portals, and with such a small texture burden, adding deeper gameplay will be both easy, and within reason.
I canāt wait to see what they do with the money they just made. They could hire a couple devs, focus hard on doing things better (except graphics) than other survival gamesā¦ and we could see a real gem develop.
Valheim is not better than Conan Exiles, itās different and in a position to really out perform games like Conan Exiles for reasons that have been mentioned on this forum countless times.
I am NOT hating on Conan Exiles.
Just giving some attention to a nice, small title in early access that is showing quite a bit of promise. Conan Exiles has, SLOWLY delivered on most of its promises, but left a lot of things lacking.
Valheim is worth $20 for the replay and laughs alone.
The current multi-player situation for Valheim works but is not fleshed out and needs improvmentā¦, but Conan Exiles server situation isnāt great either. Remember the high ping with Siptah? How hard it is/was to keep your favorites marked? G-portals user interface isnāt much to look at either. I see in this thread a few people mocking about Valheim, butā¦ lets not forget Conan Exiles could do a lot of things better, things it is not able/willing to address in a timely manner.
So if it needs to be spelled out for some of you here. Boats, Wagons, Digging, Undigging, Planting Trees, Simple Skill System, In-Game Feedback Button and a small list of other āOh thats nice!ā kind of stuff. Things that you are just constantly pleasantly surprised by.
Only things I can truly say I donāt like about Valheim currently is the graphics, and the multi-player situation. Both stand to be improved. And like I said, Valheim has lots of room to grow.
This is a refreshing attitude. Thank you for this post.
