About the part where I said that you lose all your stuff when you die twice in a row, that's not actually true. But it was kinda true in my case, because I died in the water, and I'm pretty sure I came back to the exact same place and I didn't find my tombstone there, or my gear. Saw a ton of comments about this, damn. But yea, you don't lose your gear unless you're a dumbass like me. Oh and another thing. When I said that Bannerlord was polished on release, I explicitly said "for an early access title", not polished in general, chill guys lol. A polished game in general is something entirely different.

I am almost 60 hours in and i haven't even killed 3rd boss yet. I love this game. First game in years that i genuinely have fun in. No stress over competition, over noob teammates, over losing. I just come from work, plant my carrots, get my stews and potions and sail away to explore distant lands. Just chilling in my boat. Everyone can play at their own pace. No rushing, no timers, nothing. It's great.

I still can't believe all of this goodness is just 1gb in total

Short answer: yes

0:55 "it is weird to say polished about early-acces game" It is even weirder to hear about polished games when you are Polish and try to distinguish if something is polished or polished.

9:22 You dont lose it forever. Ive died twice over a few times been able to recover my stuff every time. The new location of death will replace the old death location so you need to know where you died on map. A good tip would be to mark your dropped loot on the map and delete it once you recovered it incase you die again.

"This is the best way to wake up in the morning" Proceeds to Take Damage

Correction: When you die again after dying you are still able to get your stuff back, you just lose the old marker of where you died. Best thing to do is mark it on your map as a means of precaution.

A good game should be able to stand by itself, it should be fun on its own, not just because you are playing with friends. Valheim is one of those games that is already fun by yourself, but even better with friends.

Just want to say I’m glad the developers made this game with both multiple and solo players in mind. A lot of games that feature multiplayer seem more and more to focus only on that aspect.

Just gotta say, found your channel a year ago, you got me through 2020, RPGs are pretty much the only games I still follow and you're my guru. Thanks from Michigan, USA .

I would love to see you do some more in depth videos for Valheim like you did for Outward

I'm really loving this game and it's crazy how it can be so beautiful at times with this art direction : see the light filter through the forest when it's early in the morning and there's a bit of fog and you're just there sitting by the fire and cooking some meat is just so good (and the game is just 1gb lmao) And the feeling you get when you can finally build your first ship and sail on the sea....

We just gonna ignore the "yourmomsgay" sign outside his house

2:16 You mean to also say, that I can start off by being solo, and then later can join my friend's map by moving there and keeping my character and stats?

The ambiance in this game is so awesome. I find myself just hanging out in areas and weather conditions admiring it. The wind is done really well and has several speeds that changes how the world looks while its blowing and from which direction. Rain can gently come straight down, or blow at a big angle with lightning thatll go up your spine.

The game passed one million sales already. Incredible.

I saw a post about Valheim on Twitter, and I can't stop playing now! It is one of the chillest survival games out there, with lovely music, a bit outdated graphics, but actualy quite fitting after a while. I was amazed when I found out about crafting - build foundation logs, otherwise you get problems with building colapsing without propper support structures. Having to build a "chimney" so smoke from your fireplace is not concentrating in building, damaging your character... I love it! Just slain first boss and progressed to second zone.

🤣 The name of your house caught me off guard

I've been thinking of getting this game since it came out, and wasn't sure if I should get it. But thanks to your video, I'm planning to add it to my library of games. Thanks for your video, good job!

Good review, only thing you missed was the items upon death, you can keep dying and your equipment doesn't despawn from your original death location.

This looks like I’ve been wanting to play, I like the idea of survival games but haven’t been able to get into any of them, mostly cuz of the tediousness of looking for food just to explore, definitely gonna check this out, especially because you gave it the seal of approval

There’s also a damage type weakness system. Hence why your halberd thing wasn’t doing strong dmg against skeletons. Also stamina is also the primary combat mechanic, that’s why cold, wet, etc punish with it. edit: Great video as usual, of course!

Nice review. Pretty spot of most things. Only thing is you dont loose items from previous death if you die again but not sure if dying multiple times clears old ones froma certain point or if after a certain amount of time it goes away. at least you can die twice in a row without loosing your first deaths items as you can have 2 or maybe more death totem things. Really fun game to play both single player and with friends.

I was curious about all these aspects you've spoken about. So: Thank you very much!

I subscribed! Great video, you've answered all of my questions. Thanks so much.

I knew you would be covering this game even before you told us you was making a video and once again you proved why you are the best person to go to for an in depth look and honest opinion. Definitely checking this game out now so thank you for this.

This is the video i was waiting for thank you!! Good stuff!

I saw this game all over youtube and was waiting for your take on it. Great as always

the snap on system is meant to work off your pointer, not the block piece. If you put your curser on the piece you want to snap to, it works fine. I think mounts would be really cool.

I just started it the other day and I went and activated the first final boss while I was still at level one tech and had to defeat him him with an axe. He almost destroyed my house too. Then I out of the blue these giant greylings attacked my, no problem taking them down with my axe but then at my second house I was outside working at my next level upgrades and they snuck behind me while I was over loaded and back turned. But I learned how to break up "fine wood" early on. Then I created a new character and built a raft right away to try to do some exploring. Found giant eels off the shores of some place with what looked like dead trees and zombies. I didn't go there, I left and the eels followed quite a ways attacking my raft. I just now learned I break rocks, find minerals and advance technology. The art is amazing, using low res graphics yet with such good mechanics and rendering a stunning scenery, you soon don't notice the pixelization. Even the fish swimming around in the water is amazing, I would prefer it better if it was less creepy. Thats about all I can say.

Good work once again. You've got a good eye for action RPGs. Keep it up. I'll be trying this out.

I love map marking mechanic, It just adds to exploration immersion , there is no arrows pointing to interest points, i discover them and i mark them on my map. God i love this game

Looks amazing! I appreciate your opinion on these odd ball rpgs. Your the reason I got into Outward. So thank you for putting in the effort in your videos. I hope that it eventually makes its way to consoles.

Great work one again, hope you soon get the 50k

I want to see more. Love how you break things down, I want to see more valheim from your points of view plz.

OMG!!!! I didn't know you could put markers on your map. THANK YOU!!

Thanks for this vid my friend ! I just found the game a couple days ago and have been really wanting to play, but I have no friends who want to play with me at the moment and I was scared to buy it and get bored to play alone. I have played a lot of survival games for years and kinda got tired of them because they just don't have anything new to offer and I was scared this would be the case, especially with it being in early access... I think I'm going to buy it and I hope they continue to develop the game and reach it's great potential and don't just cash in with all the hype they got.

Thank you for doing a video like this. I am like you in regards to I would rather play solo than with groups.

that building hurt me to see hahaha good video dude :)

I hope they're able to fix/change up the UI a bit. In its current state it looks like almost every other survival game out there. I think it needs something more unique to fit the tone of the game. Something less boxy and more natural looking. Maybe some nice viking art?

Allow me to add that this game has very decent ocean exploration, you can build your vessel (from raft to a badass longboat) and navigate the map with it. Really good game and really good video. I was really surprised seeing you make a video about it but once again you didn't disappoint with your review! Good job 👌👍

Hey I just wanted to let you know that you're the only review channel I actually have notifications on :) keep up the good work!

your reviews are so solid man, thank you.

Mack from Worth a Buy had an hardon for this Game... Your Perspective as a Solo / Rpg had sold me to try out the Game... Cheers... And Thanks for your Work...

This is the EXACT question I wanted answered - Thank You! I just don't do multiplayer. Ever. Definitely going to check this out now...

I'm so glad you made this video, I was on the fence regarding purchasing it, but it looks like a winner.

Crazy I have this in my wishlist, gonna try it now. Thanks for the info and your rpg content!

Great overview vid, this looks like a buy for sure 👍

i've got 180 hours in single mode, 3 bosses down, about to prepare to go defead Moder, boss 4, lets see how that goes! Amazing game even if your solo... I cant stop building new bases...

This game on my Steam wish list for months but was curious about single player. After watching this vid, will be getting it soon. Subbed!.

thanks for the upload great review

Nice,Great information man keep it up 👍

Note, if you die once and then die again on your way to retrieve your items from the first death, it removes the map marker from the first death but your grave and all your items still exist, and in my experience, they don't despawn.

Funny, The questions I keep asking keep leading me back to you. You ARE the chosen one. And now you have a loyal sub. Hail!

This game is absolutely amazing. The attention to detail in all the game systems keeps blowing me away. Some of the best 16$ I've spent on a game. Right away it's probably one of the best games of the genre.

This is such a good video. Thank you

New sub, really like your voice and style. Keep up the good work :)

Great video! Thank you, I may give it a try :)

It wouldn't be this channel if: "whoever on the dev team did their job give them a raise" xD

Nice video! I just bought the game. Played about 2 hours, it's a fun 3d Terraria like game. With as many copies they've sold, I could see this team improving this game and expanding this game a ton over the next year or two like how that dev team did with Astroneer.

I died 2 times but i still found my stuff, you just have to know where (make a marker) in my case in a cave:) ... Great video!

I first learned of this game back in 2018. It was called "Fejd" (pronounced 'fade') then. It was fairly polished then, so obviously they've been working on it awhile. They've added quite a bit to it since.

Hey so you do keep your items if you die again, I ran over towards my tombstone where I died the first time, and I found my items still there.

Thank you for the review.

After probably watching hundreds of Valheim videos and guides and reviews, yours was the very first. I know this because the tab is still opened in my browser and I'm a weirdo and keep tabs opened for like weeks to months.

Even with the graphics being the way they are, watching the trees blowing around in a strong storm has been one of the coolest things I've ever seen in a game.

you should've build a chimney, it helps with the smoke. That's how great this game is, you need a chimney to keep the smoke out! And it also looks very chill.

9:23 actually you don't lose everything u can die several times and can still get your stuff back by going to where you died it is just the death marker disappears in map you have to remember where you died

I think this game will stay big for a long time and is going to get huge. The structure of the game will allow the devs to continuously add new content like bosses/biomes/weapons/armour/enemy’s/builds which is very good for the future of the game.

I played (several years ago i think) the alpha or beta version that the creator put free in their page, and then i saw the potential of this game.

I play solo because I play on inconsistent times/hours. And it's very immersive and loads of fun. Do recommend !

Majstore, kidas sa reviewovima, samo cepaj brajko!

I've played 30 hours already as a Single player and I'm really enjoying it. P.S. if you die multiple times you tomb stones does not disappear, so you can pick them one by one, but markers on the map show only place of the last death, so keep this in mind

I mostly play SP cause nobody wants to play with me :( however I like the idea of having a main world you work on and having others join you to help you with certain tasks. Like a summon in Dark Souls. However I’d love to have a MP server with 20-40 people of friends and their friends all building bases around the map on different islands. Creating shipping routes. Create like a role play fantasy economy server.

I hope in the future they add some village NPC (safe zone), where you can get a quest (gather, kill animal, trade etc), and put some lore to the game surround the 10th world. That wud be amazing! It's like lite version of The Witcher.

Playing it with my brother. One of the reasons I love it? We sometimes spend time in our house because it was storming. This should not affect us, but it just felt like stay inside weather.

I never sub after seeing 1 good video, but I'm subbing to you. Ty for the work and the content.

so you could use the same char in differents worlds ? that´s a very nice endgame , the stats from the char persist in each world visited? ty for the video

You answered all of my questions. I will give this game a try!

thanks for this review, was curious about the game and trust your opinion

The version of Cyberpunk 2077 we've all been playing is also an early access that happens to be a different sort of Polish.

Great video . Will be starting my single player tomorrow. If you are looking for a co-op partner I'm happy to play 👍🏻💙

Thanks for this I don't have anyone to play it with so this is helpful.

Very helpful thanks, I gifted my husband this game and he wants me to play with him but I've been on the fence.

Now, to figure out how to make the knees bend when running.

It's a game you can get completely lost in and lose all track of time. It's relaxing and chill at times but has challenges if you so desire them. It is both fun to play alone AND with friends. All this wrapped inside just a teeny tiny 1GB. Solid YES.

Not a fan of survival games, but this one does look like it'll be fun. Thanks for the video. I think I'll give it a try.

super fun with friends and faster of course, but i love solo! makes your progression more meaningful

Have you ever checked out Odin: Vahalla Rising? It's an upcoming open-world RPG and it looks quite impressive. In fact, some of the artwork is superb. Very nice graphics, too.

i feel like a kid again playing this game..ive never get that feeling playing other games..

The only thing I have with Valheim is a lack of material weapon and armor variation. Especially armor types, like heavy or light variants of armors which can give better protection or slightly better mobility than the default type. I'd love to have a suit of heavy armor over me with a Voulge of some kind, or maybe a Falx.

Thats the kind of review I want and need.

“Y are u reading this?” I don’t know dude, I can’t seem to help myself. I’m always pausing videos to read text- it’s like a sickness.

i was looking around for how it is solo and because of this video i will buy it and give it a try. Thanks

This seems like a game that’ll be fun to follow the development of. Have you tried playing multiplayer too? Great video! Keep it up

It is really scary playing alone sometimes, especially when you see stuff you don't expect like a giant hairy troll for the first time

It looks promising. I wait til its release. Keep up the good work! Your video is of high value.

Yes and very much in single player. In single player, it is very much the essence of survival mode. In Co-Op it’s very much survival team play and far less punishing survival. In single player it’s very much survival adventure and discovery having to do everything. Having to do everything solo is at the least denominator survival. The entire game was done by just 2 person team.

convinced me, gonna go buy it. thanks!
