If you like survival games, exploration, crafting, building, and vikings then I'd recommend that you get Valheim. Valheim isn't perfect, but it's a very fun game that I have really enjoyed and it's done some things very well. It's a different type of survival crafting game because it doesn't focus as much on the survival aspect. You can argue it's not truly a survival game at all, but it's an action RPG with some survival game elements.

I want to try New World but it's simply got too many problems right now. Do some research about the major bugs it's had in the past couple months and you'll probably want to avoid New World for now. I've been close to buying it since it's on sale right now but I want to wait until they correct some of the big issues before I do.

Valheim is also not as expensive so that's another plus.

If your a PVE player skip NW. I gave it 20 hours and uninstalled.

True, but the OP hasn't asked anything in the NW forums coinciding their post history. A few pages of their history is about Forza 5.

yeah if I wanted to low-key attempt to push traffic at a ♥♥♥♥♥ game I might ask questions like that.

New World reviews - "mixed", Valheim - "Overwhelmingly Positive" .

I guess if you prefer MMO or gaming as a service you should check out New World.

I've played both. For me Valheim is better hands down.

idk about new wolrld but mmo games usually want so mutch time to lvl up and be good + you ll have to pay more after you get the game. valheim is about building and exploring so if you like that then get it, fighting is pretty crap in valheim so if you like to fight dont get it because you ll get bored doing same moves again and again

No to New World.

this if can play with friends

New World is buggy garbage from what I hear so your long term money is probably best spent on this. But New World also has a limited shelf life, being a MMO, Valheim doesn't because it's single player/co-op. So to properly experience New World you are better off playing it while it still has a something resembling a player base.

Apples to oranges comparrison.

New World= Mmo-lite. Housing, resource gathering etc is static. 3 Different questing systems(main, side, townboard and faction board objectives), pvp is primarily end game only(open world pvp is very light outside of people constantly dueling outside of windsward). End game is light in activities and most servers are in the 300-500 numbers of players at peak except for a few per region in the 1k-1.5k range.

Downsides are that pvp dictates ownership of towns and you have to pay taxes and fees set buy the company(guild) that owns the town which can be extreme. You need to do quests in 5 man dungeons to advance your main quest and on many servers, people are charging gold to join any 5 man group.

Also, the in game market economy of the game is very deflated for most resources and highly inflated for higher tier crafted items. Newer players have a steep gold earning curve to start and those not wise with saving end up unable to repair their gear because they have no gold for repairs(though its not hard to just go to lower areas and get starter items to use to build up enough for repairs.

Many leveling zones past level 25 are overtuned, especially if you make poor skill choices with weapons and you become dependent on others. However, the fastest leveling to 60 is just sticking to the level 1-25 zones only. There are other advantages that seem counter intuitive to doing that but really its the best to do.



Valheim is an open world survival game with a very limited set of "quests" and resources have specific spots to be harvested from but you can dig anywhere and build anywhere(new world you can only buy houses already set up in towns.) You can opt to play in single player or on someone's server or make your own. Its decentralized in that regard.

So really it is just going to boil down to subjectively what you want to play as far as genre type more than anything.

If price is the concern, then of course valheim is the cheapest right now.

I'd recommend that you get Valheim. Valheim isn't perfect, but it's a very fun game that I have really enjoyed.

I feel people who ask whether to get New World or Valheim, tend to sway a certain mind set. Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked whether they should get New World at the Valheim forums without doing their own research beforehand. It's like people who like Monster Trucks going into a forum for Porsche, asking whether to get a Monster Truck or a 911T.

Valheim will still be here, after you've clocked your hours in New World, or any other game. I mean, I have over 500 games in my Steam library. Perhaps one day, I might try New World if it's $5. Maybe, or just get Hytale when that comes out.

GARRRRRRRRR

new world this gets old fast

I dunno, I'm having fun with this game. They appear to be vastly different games though. This one is like... Rust or 7 Days to Die or what have you. New World is an MMORPG isn't it? Buy whichever you have more propensity for.
