Too much desync and too inconsistent to be worth a damn.

Campaign Review Only:

I now know why this campaign had a delayed release of a month. There is absolutely nothing spectacular to do with respect from the main storyline. It's just "freeing outposts", "helping the same squads", picking up spartan cores, picking up mjolnir cosmetics, killing "high value targets" which are nothing more than damage sponge beefier enemies with a different name.

I COMPLETELY beat the game and got all the cosmetics and sidequests and EVERYTHING in less than 10 hours on Heroic difficulty. This game isn't worth $60.

So The first thing I'll say is that this game is reviewed with no mods added. I would also like to say that mods are basically required in order to make this game bearable.

I think the game starts you off kind of well enough where you drop into the world of magical viking minecraft. Once this initial feeling of the first 20 minutes washes away, you start to realize that the game after the first boss is essentially a gigantic grind fest to move from boss to boss.

I've been soft locked on this game quite a few times and have had to restart it because of it. There are 5 playable areas for the player to explore in Valheim: Meadows (Start), Black Forest (2), Swamp (3), Mountain (4), and Plains (5). There is the Ashlands to the South but there is nothing to do there, and there are the Mistlands which has no development done.

The gist is that you kill an area's mobs so that they drop trophies that you run to said boss's summoning area and summon them to fight and kill them. Once you kill the boss you take its head back to the starting area and place it on a stone altar to get said boss's battle buff that you activate with the F key.

Once you defeat all the bosses.... there's nothing. The game is essentially over but you're still stuck in a minecraft non-story mode. You can of course craft, the crafting menu is obtuse and in general not very useful. You have to grind crafting parts to merely upgrade items but the progression is super bland and uninspiring, there are for example no enchantments, there's no skill trees, you just have skills that you auto level up by doing said thing (like jumping a lot to level jump).

Graphics wise it's a bit pleasing, it's retro PS1 era graphics with modern shading due to the Unity3D engine. The multiplayer is what can make or break the game because playing by yourself in this is incredibly boring.

If I had the option I would not purchase again. At least it was only $15.

This game isn't worth it. The story is dull and predictable, and there is no replay value. Furthermore, there's nothing really exciting about building gigantic rafts.

Pros:

- Scary and challenging
- Graphically well made
- Great Audio Design

Cons:

- Takes way too long to play
- No real difficulty adjustment for playing solo (Some may see this as a pro)
- Matchmaking sucks, leaving you either solo or with known-friends
- No real progression besides just opening levels
- Some buggy mechanics
- Price does NOT match gameplay experience. I'd buy this if it was $15-20. NOT $35.

Like the password for the terminal, the game is pointless and futile.

After realizing the game is completely scripted and there is no way you can die from the "horror" enemy, the game is a safe PT clone with a predictable ending.

The art looks nice in the game, likely made in UE4, however near the end there's a bit overkill on the chromatic aberration which hurt my eyes.

I'm considering the game is episodic due to the ending, there just isn't much here to keep me hooked compared to say the pilot episode of Bendy and the Ink Machine.

Decent Single Player with good replayability.

Did not play multiplayer so keep that in mind.

Do not buy this pile of garbage, the game has been out for a year and treasure map quests are bugged where your enemies will constantly respawn.

Nostalgia doesn't save this game. Terrible controls, a bad camera system, and infuriating boss fights that cheese kill you because of huge hitboxes mean this "remaster" is quite frankly, terrible.

So I decided to re-install this game almost a year later to see if any improvements were made and here's what I have:

- If the server resets while you have ammunition in your magazines, it will be gone unless you give your magazines to someone else and they take the bullets out for you after server restart.

- Mechs now have the best ears in the world, if they aren't looking at you and you sprint past them with max stealth attribute they will still turn around and aggro you (the mechs now shoot faster so you can be rest assured you will be ventilated)

- Metabolism in the game is still nothing more than having your character ♥♥♥♥ and ♥♥♥♥ every 10 minutes with constant complaints from them that they're hungry/thirsty/starving etc

- Even with max endurance and speed attribute and light carry loads, your character runs like a ♥♥♥♥♥ and gets winded easily

- More guns because what the game needed was instead of networking fixes or actual world building/lore outside of the fact that you're a prisoner in a Rust clone from 2014 is obviously more guns

- New cars that help people in glitching through walls to raid bases

- Base building that randomly deletes objects that you've set down and you can't actually upgrade anything

- A crafting menu that is still highly disorganized and NOW requires the use of town drill presses to make bullets (provided your survival is actually max level)

- New glitches utilizing Unreal Engine 4's asset swapping feature to turn all grass and trees/shrubbery off so you can see people hiding on the ground

- A vaulting system that sends you under the world map and sometimes kills you

- Very lagging PVP deathmatch modes

- 3rd Person lean with the new ability to stick your camera through objects so you can see through them

- Larger ♥♥♥♥♥ and a ♥♥♥♥ warmer

- Birds with annoying Bird AI that is probably a parody of CoD: Ghosts Fish AI


So this game still sucks and is still a walking and pooping simulator from 2018. The devs have decided that people who criticized them will be banned from their communities and all that the devs have done is literally remake DayZ / Miscreated / Pooping Sim that was all the rage prior to PUBG.

There's a reason this game went from peak 70k players a day to 4k. Use your brain and stay away from this bug riddled garbage.
