Hey all, just wanted to bring this up as it should be released soonish - saw a video or two a while ago and was intrigued, was bummed to see it was invite only still.
Anyone played this yet? Thoughts? Other hype? I mean it’s the successor to gmod, I’m here for it and all its buggy glory 🤩🤩
Now they did mention retooling in September but I’m hopeful they’re comfortable and capable to still hit a Q1 or Q2 deadline. Who knows, what do you think?
I have not been playing too many games lately as I was held hostage, beaten and starved for 5 days in my own apartment, then evicted after the apartment staff falsely blamed me for the damage this madman did to my apartment, then i was mugged anf had my wallet and phone stolen, and my car had already been stolen months ago, leaving me homeless for months.
But uh I would say Valheim is probably the best open world survival craft game I am aware of.
The building system is well done and allows for a lot of architectural creativity, without getting you too bogged down in either astoundingly high resource requirements or working your way up through some kind of tech tree system that just forces grind for no real reason.
And I just absolutely love its visual style, and it actually has pretty darn good combat for being the kind of game that it is.
If you are looking for something more hardcore and less polished you could try Kenshi maybe? If you can survive, it actually allows you to build your own town and populate it with other members of your clan… or slaves.
Speaking of slaves: Conan Exiles is another decent game in this vein, though it is extremely grindy, it does have the fanciest graphics of these 3, and also has multiplayer! Downside is you will probably need to get a bunch of paid DLC to play on most servers, and of course as with any decently popular openworld survival craft type game, a good chunk of the players will just grief you.
