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

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.
