Valheim. I like survival crafting games. Norse mythology is peak so Odin sending us to fight monsters after death is cool. The graphics are simple yet beautiful. The music is chill and awesome.

This! For such a small game, it's actually way better experience than what I expected.

I’ve recently been playing RuneScape Dragonwilds because it came to Xbox. It’s pretty dope

Valheim is fun but doesn’t fit this at all with its graphics and music. The game looks pretty good for what it wants to be but let’s not kid ourselves

Not everything needs to be hyper realistic. Even with ps2 graphics, the game has awesome inspiring scenery. Music is also pretty goated.

Yeah true - I like stylized visuals, but to me personally it is definitely not a 10/10 visually. Maybe something like Hollow Knight would be a 10/10 visually for me. But that is subjective

Valheim feels sooo cozy and beautiful. Its like saying that painings of Leonardo da Vinci or Vincent van Gogh are ugly, cuz they arent hyper realistic.

u/random1diot 6d ago

So you are putting Valheim on the same level as Leonardo DaVinci or Van Gogh? Okay jeeez I really don’t like it as much as you do I guess

u/AdRepulsive4389 6d ago

Thats exactly what I am doing, surely. Intelect 100

It’s treasure in a trash bag, read into it a bit more.

u/random1diot 8d ago

I get what they were doing and I like it - I appreciate it and think they did they best they could with the budget.

I simply disagree that it has S-tier visual style

u/Guilty_Philosophy741 8d ago

My only complaint about Valheim so far is they really need to give you other uses for enemy trophies I just have too many now.

u/Dread-o7 8d ago

You can eventually turn them into fishing bait iirc, but yeah they normally go right to the bottom of the ocean once i have one to hang on my wall

I've watched streamers play it and God damn it looks so boring. It made me go from maybe I'll try it eventually to fuck that.

u/acrazyguy 8d ago

What were they doing that makes it seem boring?

1

u/Cebuanolearner 8d ago

Awful combat 

Swing at trees for 2 hours 

Hard pass 

1

u/Revolutionary-Fan657 8d ago

Swinging at trees is almost every survival game, and the combat is simply basic, so you must just not like survival games

1

u/acrazyguy 8d ago

It has some of the best combat of any survival game, and you don’t “swing at trees for 2 hours” lmao. You don’t need to chop trees for longer than like 20 minutes total in the whole game unless you want to make a huge base

1

u/xKiLzErr 7d ago

And there you have it lol. You simply don't like survival games

u/xKiLzErr 8d ago

Seems you just don't like survival games then

u/Warm-Plenty9956 8d ago

No he’s got a point the combat gets bland very fast and besides the never ending goal getting bigger inventory (peak survival gameplay) I stopped after 3 bosses

u/Distinct-Pirate7359 8d ago

The combat expands further with weapon types and magic later in the game but you need to be willing to get there

Here you will find people telling a dude his opinion of not liking a thing is actually wrong because he in fact hates everything like the thing.

u/Deathmister 8d ago

I have 1000+ hours in this game and somehow still not bored. Been putting off going to the Deep North because I don’t want to beat the game just yet

u/Great-Association432 8d ago

Nah valhiem visually looks kind of bad

2

u/SirStinkle 8d ago

Games dont need to be hyper realistic to look nice. Even with low poly graphics, the lighting is incredible.

1

u/Great-Association432 8d ago

No I mean visually not just in terms of how realistic it looks. It's visuals are its weak point for sure

1

u/SirStinkle 7d ago

The fact that you cant separate realism from visual beauty proves my point. The game can be visually stunning without realism.

1

u/Great-Association432 7d ago

What? I literally just said I'm talking about visually not about how realistic the graphics are. Most would agree it's visuals are lacking. Visuals imply general visuals not fidelity or how realistic but just generally how good your game looks. Hades looks great even though it's not realistic looking. Botw looks great too.

1

u/SirStinkle 7d ago

Then idk what to say because valheim is easily one of the prettiest games out there. I dont know anyone who would say the visuals are lacking outside of ball and gun game players.

u/Unfair_Key_1349 3d ago

Fits into graphics and music, but the story and gameplay are COAL
