Recommended difficulty for solo?

[Clail]

I'm torn between playing on Medium or Whoa for solo; wanted to ask if any one has experience with both and could recommend one over the other?

I like challenging games, but my worry is that woah is basically a perfect parry or get oneshotted type of experience since all it seems to do is inflate damage numbers.

I saw this on gamepass but it looks like a game that had multiplayer in mind during the entire development. Those type of games are usually weak single player. Im over 40 so I come from a world where all we had was single player so I am a bit set in my ways. Anyone try this solo? Is it any good?

the game is good give it a try,there are 3 difficultys u can choose from,u will find one which suits your playstyle :)

Difficulty can be changed at any time while playing, @Clail. Instead of getting a recommendation from "other people"....try them and see which one suits you.

I play solo and personally didn't like playing on Whoa. Not because of the damage I was taking, that wasn't really all that bad other than very early game, but because I didn't like just how quickly hunger and thirst degraded on Whoa (It's 1.5x faster than on Medium). Also not a fan of how quickly items need repairing, and durability is also lower on gear on Whoa.

tried whoa solo, was a huge grind/pain in the ass, everything drained too fast and everything was far too tanky

can i ask why ant's egg, quartzite and crow's feather and others materials didn't respawn in my game at multiplayer mode. how to fix it? or it is not a bug? thanks guys

The game is great solo in my opinion the only downside is base building is much quicker with more players then doing it on your own, on the other site there is finite upgrade rocks in the game that as a solo player you don’t have to share with your team mates

Quartzite doesn’t respawn anymore it’s now a finite resource, go to ant hill kill a ton of ants in there and the next day you will have more eggs in there to collect, and crow feathers get dropped randomly around the map usually where the crow lands

I recommend Medium difficulty (default) if you want a somewhat challenging experience but have not tried this before. Whoa mode is....really, really hard and not something I personally enjoy. Medium is just fine for a solo game experience :)

medium difficulty after beating the 4th lab the game felt like a huge grind for repairing stuff. New enemies get so tanky.

[Clail]

Thanks everyone i'll go with medium then!

Whoa! has been fun for me so far in 1.0. Water and food are not too difficult to deal with. Can get canteens early for carrying extra dew drops and then dew catcher relatively early. Juicy mutation also helps.

Enemies are tanky though and you’ll need to be good with perfect blocking.

Yea I suggest Medium for solo, Whoa just becomes too tedious. Like even just the Spiderlings in the first Lab are annoying AF on Whoa, but with multiple people it's a lot easier. If you want challenging co-op though, Whoa is the way to go, but only with 3-4 players. 2 Players I'd still suggest medium.

You DEFINITELY don't want to play this on WHOA difficulty. Especially solo. This game is very very challenging, you will die a hell of a lot, it's honestly borderline darksouls difficulty at times. WHOA difficulty is for repeat playthroughs really.

PS: Don't let the difficulty discourage you though, the game is brutal, but a lot of fun. Just play it on medium is solo.

I'm not afraid to admit, I'm playing Mild solo. I'm not the kind of player that likes Dark Souls type gameplay where a couple of missed blocks or stray hits is certain death, which is basically what Whoa is in this game. I tried Medium for a while, but eventually switched to Mild and have been enjoying that.

[blackphoenixx]

For a new player i'd recommend medium.
For a veteran player i'd also recommend medium - since you're parrying anyway the only difference in woah is needing to grind more food and repair mats and that medium lets you recover from most mistakes (as long as you don't make two in a row) while whoa makes you do a corpse run.
