We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Naw, they are selling millions of copies because it sucks. If you like building / survival games then I'd check it out.
Story yes, NPCs idk I'm still early, quests more self-directed.
There's a giant crow that gives tutorial tips and appears after milestones the helps give direction in a way most survival games don't. The world feels authored (actually are procedurally generated maps) in terms of which biomes hold the next progressional step in a way an open world rpg would.
Feels like I'm playing an Elder Scrolls 76 imo
Of these I've only played Deep Rock, but I fucking love it. If Satisfactory came to Xbox I would absolutely play that as well

It's not. You go to correct crafting station and it'll tell you what you need. Also, tools have durability, but they don't break when they run out, you just go back to the table and repair them for free. Tools and Gear also have upgrades that work the same way.
Resting is an optional health and stamina regen buff and gained just by being in a house for 30 seconds, even if you're stashing your gathered stuff into chests or repairing gear. The duration of the buff depends on the comfort level of the house, I think it's something like 7 minutes + 1 minute per comfort level so my slightly decorated house gives like 15 minutes. Sleeping the night away is also a good idea to reduce monster encounters. Encumberance is only an issue when harvesting heavier materials like wood, stone and ore. When you're just out gathering flowers, fruit or monster loot it's usually not a concern. You can build a cart to pull along with you that you can load up with all the heavy stuff and just pull it along, it gets unwieldier the heavier it is but it doesn't stop. Ships larger than the raft also have storage boxes which can equally be loaded up with heavy stuff.
There's very little in terms of intermediate materials, almost everything is built directly from raw materials. I think the exceptions are mostly the nails that you have to make out of ingots. Also anything you place in the world can be destroyed for a full refund.
Is this a game that can be played solo? From this thread it's sounding kind of like Subnautica which is my favorite survival game because of the open world and story that pushes you to explore and craft new things.
I enjoy it as a solo experience as well as one with friends. It does become MUCH harder solo. With friends it almost turns into another game.
But solo isn't like a crazy survival game, it just makes exploring, especially at night, much more tense.
My friends have all blown past me, so I pretty much only play solo now. Logging onto their server and seeing all their progression is overwhelming.
Amazing numbers! Me and my brothers added 3 over the weekend! The game seems really great so far and we're only a couple of hours in!
Friend of mine in the frozen PNW said he almost got crushed by a falling tree branch. I said (from sunny Florida) "Yeah, I know how that feels".
About to buy it. I don't like the graphics much. But I'm hoping mods will fix that at some point.
Valheim is the first survival game since NMS to hook me. Picked it up and set up a dedicated server for a few friends, and we've l put 15+ hours into the game in the last 3 days. It's really great and relaxing with moments of tension and exhilaration in contrast to most survival games.
2 million already? That was fast!
I beat all the bosses currently available solo, it took me 88 hours.
It was a blast from start to end, some frustrating moments but it wouldn't be a survival game if it didn't have them.
A few stuttering issues, mostly during world saving, but for $20 it's well worth it. There is a TON of content here already to justify a purchase and plays really well.
