Worth a Solo Buy?

[Heatt III]

Hey everyone ive had my eyes on this game for a little while now. I'm mainly a solo player and really only have a couple hours on weekends to chill and game and have a couple of drinks. I've looked at reviews and i don't see a lot from solo players and was wondering if anyone could tell me if this game is worth the $17 (steam sale) price for a solo player. Obviously games like this and The Forest, Minecraft etc are better with friends or a group.

I'd say yes. Most of my playtime is on a server that is mostly my brother and I (5 other guys really never played much), but a lot of the time it's just one of us on. Definitely fun solo, a little more fun to share things with someone though I'd say but that's just my opinion :)

I enjoy playing it solo, but did have some help along the way. In case you decide to play and need some support. I don't mind helping out and sharing some items or support to defeat a boss.

Yes but the combat isn't really designed for solo players. What I mean by that is a lot of encounters will just be throwing a group of mobs at you while you kite them and spam attacks until their sort of spongey health (depends on the enemy and your gear) depletes. That sort of combat system usually works best with a few other people.

Its more about just throwing multiple enemies at you who will try to pile on top of you instead of throwing 1 or 2 enemies at you with detailed movesets like you would see in a souls like game. Everything else about the game is really nice tho but I just think the combat system could be a bit more detailed and its my only real complaint.

I'll say that it's not worth it going solo. You will find yourself extremely limited in exploring because of the very real possibility of being ambushed and losing everything before you even get 2 minutes real-time away from your settlement. There just isn't much to do or find in this pretty large world. It's mostly just large swaths of forest or other biomes. One thing that I think would make things a little easier (and more realistic) is the ability to plant torches without needing a nearby workshop. And, then make it so that enemies don't want to come near the flames. This would allow you to venture out further.

Great tip , I like fantasy and sci fi survival games. Is it much harder to survive solo in Valheim than in 7DTD ?

I'm not sure I'd agree. Yes, the initial survival can be ... bumpy (!) but once you get a hang of the way the world works (and combat works) and start to improve your weapons, armour and food, the need to stay so close to home base falls away. Portals and boats come along soon enough and help expand the exploration range.

And even being ambushed to death doesn't mean "losing everything" as (with minor exceptions) you can return to the place you died to collect your stuff later - and can take as much time as you need.

Ultimately, though, some people have enjoyed it solo (including me), others haven't. YMMV as usual ...

No. The game is very grindy, repeating itself in each biome and simple tools are hidden behind a artificial wall (boss).

In Mulitplayer at least you have the fun to share the experience with others. Alone i wouldn´t recommend it.

I bought it and have about 15 hours on it already. Not sure what you were expecting on an RPG style survival game lmao. Killing bosses is how you progress in RPGs and unlock new items and tools. Dont think you know exactly what youre talking about enough to recommend someone to not buy this game.
