It's Skyrim. What more is there to say?

For today's standards it's not pretty, but it's mostly free, and the subscription is cheap. Rewarding to players with good imaginations.

Early Access Review
Valheim has earned its way into the hall of fame for survival crafters, clawing its way up to the ranks of games such as Minecraft and Terraria.

At its best, Valheim will stun you. The game was made to be played with friends, and it makes no mistake in showing it. You can go from establishing forts, outposts and siege lines to attack the wicked goblins of the plains, to sailing the wide open sea, to sitting by a fire in your settlement's mead hall and swapping war stories over delicacies made from beasts slain in bloody battle.

At its worst, Valheim is punishing and unrelenting. It provides a lesson for teamwork and a sense of "what went wrong?" for you to ponder.

But it is never dull, unless you make it so. Game journalists will insist that the dreaded Black Forest will leave you quaking in your boots and ready to rage-quit the game, but the reality is that as long as you find a good group, you'll always come back for more.

Valheim is a genre among a genre, the ultimate viking survival experience. 10/10.

Early Access Review
This game takes everything about Warband and improves on it. Warband was one of the greatest medieval games of all time, and Bannerlord is better. That should put things into perspective.

Easily one of the greatest games of all time. A must-play for anyone who is a fan of sci-fi or story-driven games.

Half-Life 2 is one of the greats. Despite being from 2004 the gameplay, acting, and graphics all stand up to even the best games of today. A classic that anyone should play.

Oh boy, oh boy. This game is phenomenal. Despite the very flawed lockpicking and saving systems (Which I admittedly bypassed with the help of some mods) and downright terrible FPS (My own piece of crap computer's fault) I had very little problems with the game regarding bugs. Despite maxing out at 20fps on the lowest settings due to my terrible graphics card I was able to play the game for 72 hours and enjoy every single moment of it. I haven't been this addicted to a game since the release of Skyrim. The game is so enjoyable, especially in the combat and story, that I have played 72 hours in 8 days. I cannot stress enough how good this game is.

On top of being perhaps the most historically accurate RPG title ever created, it manages to pull this off with solid gameplay, stunning visuals (If you have a good computer) and one of the best combat systems I've seen in a game. It got to the point that after I was able to learn swordfighting I went out of my way to fight any bandit or duelist I saw on my travels because I was that addicted to the combat. In fact even though I have beaten the game I may boot it up once in a while just to go frolicking through the wonderful lands of Bohemia slaughtering bandits with my uncanny sword skills.

There is no reason you shouldn't buy this game. It is not comparable to Witcher 3 or Skyrim. There is no reason to say "It's better than.." or "It's the new..." because it is a completely different title. Kingdom Come: Deliverance is Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and it is breathtaking. As someone who has at least 1,000 hours in Skyrim if combining my console and PC hours, as well as several hours in Morrowind and good experience with Oblivion, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 3, Fallout 4, etc. I can say quite honestly that Kingdom Come: Deliverance has a better storyline than perhaps all of these with the exception of New Vegas and Oblivion.

If you play RPG's, like history, and have a good computer, buy this game immediately.
