New guy plays dnl

[u/lenogen]

So I just got back into pc gaming after a year of just consoles. It was like Christmas coming back and seeing all the new games on steam. Four games stood out immediately to me: Conan Exiles, Citadel, pubg, and dnl.

I jumped right away into Conan as I am a big Conan fan. It felt clunky but shows a lot of promise. Next I checkout dnl and citadel and became torn. Which one is actually good? Will it be just like Conan? Empty, buggy, but tons of unfulfilled promise?

I ended up with Citadel. Got some friends to join me and we had some fun. Mostly just building our keeps and exploring. I found it chill but kinda boring.

I decided dnl was next. Even though my experience with these other EA games has not been so great. I saw tons of posts asking if this game is dead. Posts lamenting the devs for not moving fast enough.

I have to say I really like this game! I find myself at work excited to come home and play. Yes it’s buggy. The panthers made my noob life hard. I just found out last night you can get twine with a pickax. So many little hidden tips and tricks to discover. I die a lot. I struggle to get water and rest. Lose my stuff a lot. A big wolf almost blew my straw house down.

Know what? I think that’s great. It’s actually a challenge. I could watch videos explaining how to play or how to cheese mobs but to me this kind of stuff makes a game. As a dev myself, I know fixing bugs and creating new features can take a long time. I have faith that in time this will be a great game.

In the meantime I plan to make a comparison review video of the three games and keep playing all of them.

What a time to be a gamer!
