Too much grind, not enough reward.

Honestly here's a breakdown of time spent in valheim:
%30 travelling paths you know
%30 hitting rocks, metals, trees, greylings
%10 building
%10 combat where you could win or loose
%5 exploration.
%5 searching for something you know exists, but dont know what it is, where it would be, or that you need to kill a boss first.

If this game wasn't locked behind hours of grinding for resources, it would take a few hours to see everything it has to offer.
