Valheim.. Truly, it's a little diamond in the rough, quite literally! It's current price point is well worth the hours upon hours of addicting gameplay, wondrous survival loop and it's core challenging structure. Unlike many Early Access titles that need not be named, Valheim's developers have shown great care in putting forth a polished product that, in a time such as 2021, is superbly welcome. During my own one hundred hours put into the game at the time of this review (and counting!) I haven't come across a single gamebreaking bug or anything that would truly serve to diminish my experience.

Whilst currently limited as all games are, Valheim and it's creators Iron Gate are well on their way to creating a game that'll surely last with it's procedurally generated world, expansive free-reign gameplay and the promised continuations of this wonderful world. With constant bug-fixes, networking updates and a clear goal in mind, there's little more groundwork needed to truly solidify Valheim's status as an absolutely stunning survival game that will take you on a journey from start to finish, and I'm sure you'll love every moment of it as I have.

Whilst it truly is a gem of a game in it's current state, some people may be put off by the 'older' graphic designs that trail back to the days of old, but such too, in my opinion, is actually a pleasant choice. It certainly isn't for everyone, and there's naught wrong with such either, but I can safely say the vistas you'll visit upon your travels may yet prove more beautiful than you might first think!

All in all, with but a portion of all this Viking goodness being mentioned, I'd highly recommend you take the time to explore this game for yourself, take your time with it and let the hours fly by whilst you traverse the seas, build absolutely stunning bases to call your home, go hunting and defeat bosses that are a blast to prepare for and so fight in turn.

As with all games, there's also some negative points that might, for some, be a sore point that draws them away, but for the sake of your viewing pleasure; let's list them below!

Pros;
- Simplistic yet pleasant graphic design that's sure to captivate the eyes of some.
- Any game's better with friends, but Valheim solo is equally wonderful!
- Devoted developers with a passion make for a trustworthy purchase.
- Addicting gameplay with deep roots in Viking culture. Explore, conquer and create!
- Wonderful sense of progression from start to finish, to make your every step a rewarding one.
- Procedurally generated worlds allow for tons and tons of exploration, for no map shall ever be exactly the same.
- Easily worth it's price point for the content provided, at bare minimum 40-50+ hours!


Cons;
- Building could use a little QoL changes, but predominantly the structure integrity system can greatly limit your creativity.
- PvP within Valheim is clearly not a focus, and it shows. It's fun to mess with, but don't expect clans to form nor any grand scale battles.
- You're reading this review instead of playing it yourself. Get out there, Viking, we've got a world to explore!


TL;DR:
Valheim is an absolutely beautiful game with so much to do, explore and learn that you'll forget to feed yourself instead of your Viking character. Hours shall fly past, you'll yearn to play just a little more and fight that boss, to build grandiose longhouses all in the name of Odin, or you just want to see Thor fly over with his chariot during a thunderstorm. It's pros far, far outweighs the cons and is easily one of the best games we've had for the survival genre in a fair chunk of time. If you were on the fence, consider doing yourself a favor and get right into it! It is absolutely worth it.

Great game with about 14 hours of gameplay on the higher difficultys.
Sadly the stories are intertwined and the alien campaign is a bit lacking.

It'd give this game a solid 7/10.

Warframe, a Third Person Shooter set in a futuristic style.
Join me and hop into a "Warframe", its time to explore.

From an ancient slumber you awaken, a slumber that would only be undone by a threat wich plagues the planets and solar systems. The Grineer have come to take you, it is time to do what you are supposed to do, save everything.

Warframe is (again) a Third Person Shooter set in a futuristic style, you are able to control these solid and strong husks known as "Warframes", they range from Tanks who take a lot of damage to the more stealthy types, allowing you to complete missions without being seen.

Warframe has you take on allot of farming at all times as to create Weapons, Sentinels who act as your companion and fight allongside you or even new Warframes.

Weapons vary greatly, from low magazine count Twin Vipers with a fast fire rate and reload speed to Bows and Assault Rifles. There is always a weapon that will interest you, be it a sniper to fire from afar or a bow to get those silent kills.

Sentinels are a great addition to the game, each equipped with their own Weapon. From poison darts to a fully automatic assault rifle. They also add a more in depth part of Warframe, each they come with various abilities, for example : Carrier has the ability to pickup loot within a specific radius of you. Whereas Deathcube will Vaporize enemies.

Warframes are ofcourse the husks you control, ranging from Tanks like Rhino who has massive amounts of stomping power to the more silent Warframe like Ash. There is a Warframe for each style of play, so you'll be sure to find a Warframe to your liking.

The enemies : - Grineer
- Corpus
- Infested

The Grineer : The Grineer are an advanced race using weapons like Assault Rifles, Machine Guns, Cleavers and anything that would use normal bullets or slash through flesh.

The Corpus : The Corpus are an even more advanced race that use weapons which work on energy like the Flux Rifle and their Electrified Batons.

The Infested : The Infested as the name says are infected beings whom are mutated, they range from exploding enemies (Kamikazes), Ancient whom can heal their allies and infested dogs whom are fast with a strong attack.

Each enemy has their own weakness leading to some interesting encounters, with "Boss" enemies that have been put into the game whom have the ability to shield themselves with ice to a fire blast knocking you back.

The Farming : Warframe imo seems to be the game which you'd love to play if you enjoy some fun sessions in farming for resources. Each planet comes with its own resources, one better then the other.

All in all, Warframe is a great game. Its something you won't find everyday and is defenitly worth it to take a look at and playing it.

Warframe will be the game for you if you enjoy the joys of farming wich come with interesting missions, special bosses for each faction and the joy of brutally murdering enemies in various ways with the different Warframes abilities.
