You can try hitting rocks with your basic hatchet, but nothing will happen - you actually need a pickaxe that you won't get until a much later point in the game for that.
#VALHEIM REVIEW HOW TO#
An example I ran into almost right away was trying to find stone to use to make tools - you're never told how to get it.
#VALHEIM REVIEW TRIAL#
So a lot of the early period of play was a trial of experimentation for me. The raven of predictable name whom greets you in this circle takes you through the basics, but only in a rudimentary text-box way. This is good - you're showing the player the end-game condition clear and unambiguously, and they can return to that location for reference if they lose their way. That stone circle is a collection of the various "boss" creatures which you are bid to prove your worth to ascend to Valhalla by hunting and defeating. Valheim begins with a lengthy introduction of some harpy-looking creature I presume is supposed to be a valkyrie flying you to the titular area of Valheim, where you're deposited in a stone circle and given your first introduction to the game mechanics. On the fence? Well let's get into the details a bit more, then! Is it worth playing? Probably, but you're not going to be missing out waiting for it to leave early access, assuming it ever does. It's a promising game that definitely scratched that itch - for a while - which is more than I can say of many of them, but the longer I got into the game, the more pain points started to appear: many mechanics are ill-explained, when they are at all, and the combat is floaty and janky. Yet, knowing my propensity for the Scandanvian history that is a part of my family's lineage, a kind friend of me bought the game, so it would seem remiss of me not to take a look.
I've been far too burnt out on titles like ARK which never did get any less buggy, to get as enthusiastic as many do about new entries in the genre. I must confess, that line right there - "crafting survival game in early access" - is more than enough to turn some people off from the get-go, and to be honest, it usually is for me too. Valheim is a crafting survival game in Steam Early access developed by Iron Gate AB and Coffee Stain Games.
