Is this good ? Looking to buy

I have tried enshrouded but the performance was off for me. So i have been looking at this and was wondering you're opinions on the game. Cheers

just beat the game with my friends
its good we enjoyed it a lot
keep in mind the combat is very stiff and is just a "Whatever" The game is about exploring following the story n making it back to moria
it DOES have some random performance issues but nothing crazy like enshrouded

It is a good game for co-op playing, or if you want to try survival game on your own.

in a way i enjoy the looks of the halls a lot (playing the campagne)
there are several location i love to see in game.
on the other hand there are several issues ive faced while playing
the game looks fantastic but has a "not finished flavour"
best to check some letsplays and decide if you want to dive into moria

The issues are like the dot wall, for loading in area's behind mining walls of dirt. There are also furniture that is not very functional. For example, you cannot sit in chairs, but apparently you can use the wardrobe.

One thing to to know is each map has it's own seed, so everyone's game is different. What appears in one person's game might be earlier or later in your game. The entrance could also be higher or lower compared to other's games.

I'm thoroughly impressed by the game. The is A LOT to explore and some of the locations look outright breathtaking. Lighting is gorgeous.

Yes the fights are a bit stiff but I enjoy the mechanics. Shieldsmashing orcs into a chasm just doesn't get old.

Be sure to play it in coop though.

[Agarillobob]

no its mediocre lacking here and there, if you have friends and get it on sale it is worth the money but once you played enough you will move away and probably never touch it again

[kmark2323]

Definitely worth a try, especially for any Tolkien fan. Good Lore placement throughout the game. Combat is ok-ish.... its needed to make the story work.... but the building and exploring are its shining stars....

If you like Dwarves in general and enjoyed how they appeared in LoTR, you will probably enjoy the game. If you are looking for strictly a game with survival elements that is coop, there are other options that are could better for your group. However, this is probably the top game that mixes both Dwarves, survival, and a good bit of LoTR-lore.

I enjoy this on a solo level.

[hottnova75]

Its fun, but be careful and make extra weapons and tools and bases for when something goes wrong.

Better than valheim because it is a finished game.

I disagree with both those statements.
I havent personally played valheim but comparing both games objectively valheim reigns superior.
And I disagree with the statement this being better because it being finished, while I prefer finished games over EA I have to doubt the being finished part being the main reason of 1 game being better than a similar game. Specifically this game being finished is one of the bigger problems it has since there is 0 reasonable endgame content

Sorry but in my opinion, you are wrong. Return to Moria is a finished game. And because of this one objectively true fact, valheim will never hold a candle to it.

[Athos42]

It's definitely one of the best survival games I ever played. It is kind of similar to Valheim in gameplay, but I enjoyed Return to Moria much more. That said, I played Valheim shortly after it released to Early Access and did all I could at this stage, killed all bosses etc.. It was good, too, but also got old fast.

It's worth it on a good sale, but I personally found the game play quite restricting at times, and a lot of the buffs don't last long enough to be useful.

I don't know if they've changed it since I last played, but most of the useful food you can't take with you, and if you want to stack buffs, sometimes the buffs run out before you can even finish stacking them. They certainly don't last long past your door. So if you wanted them to attack an orc camp, well, you're SoL.

The system where you get tired also got a bit old for me. personally. It's a game, and I don't want to be hamstrung and spend most of my time waiting for things, or running back to sleep, or waiting for food that doesn't do much besides get rid of your hunger.

I found the RNG for certain items to be pretty horrible, and if you don't mind loading your character into other maps to get more, then you won't have a problem with this. I'm old school and don't want to have to load a different game to farm things for my original game that should be provided in the world I originally had. It breaks the atmospheric feel of LOTR. You shouldn't have to do this.

I also found the building to be a bit janky compared to other systems, so I didn't really enjoy that part of it.

Obviously, other people don't mind all this, so it's really what you can tolerate in your games and what you find enjoyable and not enjoyable.

I'm not too fussed because I bought it on sale, but had I bought it at full price I probably would not be happy.
