The majority of content in this game is mediocre, or just outright bad.

The only good feature this game has is the building, every other system is boring, drawn out, tedious, or just under-cooked. Need armor? Go mine for hours. Killing a boss? Shoot it with arrows for 20min. Need to find new biomes? Go on a boat for an hour. You found a new biome? Whoops, that was the Plains and not the Swamp, now there's a mosquito heading for your boat. Now the mosquito killed you in one hit, all of your items are now lost in a biome you couldn't go into with your armor, so have fun going there without the armor. You built another boat to try to get your stuff back? A pufferfish, a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pufferfish, jumps onto the deck and hit you once, killing you from poison because you were saving your food.

Never in my life have I played a survival game this unenjoyable. So happy they added mistlands, content that I won't ever see. No thanks, your game is awful.

But the guy is talking from personal experience.. You can find a good review for any game. Having a bad experience in the game and going to the community expressing their opinion and being met with 'get gud' and an article just leaves the player more agitated and less likely to enjoy the game. It's not really a great counter point to a link potentially biased review.

And to add to this, the game is 94-95% positive reviews, with the majority of negative reviews boiling down to "Waaah, game doesn't update fast enough". If the most prevalent problem is that the majority of whiners simply can't wait to get more, then you've got a helluva game there.
That doesn't make it a 94-95% perfect game. Why is it that describing something that is bad about the game is met with a pcgamer review and a mostly positive steam rating as if that means it's gods gift to the earth? This is a players perspective as well and i happen to share that same experience but no lets talk about reviews that agree with you yes.

Yes, everyone can see the three of you on each other's friends lists. Keep passing those "clever" awards between each other as much as you want; it doesn't make it true.
were playing the same game. literally playing it right now. we all experienced the same thing.

You bought a survival/exploration game and complain about nearly every aspect of surviving and exploring, and as part of your rant make hyperbolic statements and admit to personal mistakes.

You're the one with the bad take.

The exploring and surviving is fun, when did I complain about that? Nearly every aspect? Did I write an essay? Going on a boat was the only thing I mentioned in that aspect, and I wasn't even negative about it. Dying in one hit to a to a mob I couldn't have avoided is surviving and exploring to you? Is shooting a boss for 20min surviving and exploring to you? Lmfao, sorry insulting your viking grind simulator made you imagine a different post. But really though, I can offer you a great deal on this bridge.

Dying to a mob means you didn't survive very well. Even if it is a deathsquito, they really don't hit that hard, are easy to see and hear from long range, and die in 1 hit. It's your fault you were grinding along the plains shore with no food buffs to survive the hit, nor reacted fast enough to block, dodge, or hit it first, and again later on when the pufferfish got you.

Shooting a boss for 20 minutes? Maybe that boss is resistant to piercing damage? I just finished fighting Bonemass earlier this evening and killed it twice in literally 7 minutes. If there's a complaint to be made about bosses, it's that they are too easy.

Don't pretend you don't know what you said and meant, and that you don't understand what I said and meant. It only makes you look worse.

This post is just an evergrowing example of how goofy the Valheim community is. It's like you didn't read my post at all, just read the title and then ♥♥♥♥ out your reply. Deconstructing just how stupid of a reason this isn't worth the time. If you think that PCGamer saying that it was their game of the year somehow redeems bad aspects of a game, you need help that I truly can't offer.

My god, you really are dull. I'm not pretending, you're just slow. I honestly mean that. I wasn't "grinding the plains". We went up to an unexplored land mass, trying to find the swamp. Turns out it wasn't the swamp, it was the plains. Within literal seconds, a mosquito was onto us. So sorry I, as a new player, wasn't able to kill the enemy that I've never interacted with. " they really don't hit that hard" My friend blocked one hit, it brought him from full health to 10, the next hit killed him. If that genuinely isn't hitting hard to you, you're living insane.
