I was still young, maybe 10 years already, it's all been a long time now,
but I remember it so well that whenever I played FS95 or 98 I barely understood what to do but was really excited when I got up and got off the ground.

Nothing in me could have believed then that later in the future we can explore the entire world through flight simulator down to the last detail with even realistic distance values,
Do you have 20 hours free to play games and fly around the world with unlimited fuel?

Well this is 1 of the unique experiences that you can experience through FS20.
And if such a flight isn't enough for you, how about doing it together with other players, each with their own plane? feel free to race around the world or on the thousands of miles long river in venezuela 'the Orinoco river or just anywhere in the world!
Do you want to fly under the Eiffel Tower, or over mountain peaks in the Alps, everything is possible from now on!

If you have the ability via required hardware to play the game via ultra graphical settings, you can quickly fall in love with the beautiful images that you will see.
The world in FS20 is literally a replica of the real world with a lifelike scale, it's like flying over google maps with a nice piece of 3D.
For example, many interesting locations or buildings or monuments will be nicely incorporated in the 3D effect and look almost as attractive as in real life.
You can also use coordinates that you can easily find on google maps and then insert them into FS20 so that the game loads for you at that location and you can fly around there at that specific place, so I flew over my own hometown or past the famous 'Devils rock'.

The online mode is also a lot of fun, you can spot other players playing online on the world map and load your game into their area, so you can fly side by side and do what pilots do on the way.
When you play the game the game will also stream details of the world in addition to the offline data of the map loaded, if your internet connection or memory on the computer is quite limited the game will switch to offline mode which is still very nice to see on ultra settings.

Here you can see a video where I fly over different locations with the game loaded with max ultra graphics settings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UD-Wt1NnLA

FS20 also has support for ultra-wide resolutions such as 3840*1080, this in combination with the maximum graphics settings in the game makes for a very nice image, you can see an example of this view here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5WBa7wkIS0

VR support is undoubtedly a feature that should not be missing from a game of this level,
and through VR glasses, the game is even more breathtaking than when you have a strong computer.
When I play with my 2080ti on max ultra graphic settings in VR I can notice the visual quality but then I have lag and that makes it not so pleasant,
I could still get a quality image in VR with quite high settings and this is just addictive,
take that sport plane and just enjoy.

Why are the majority of very beautiful locations just on the edge of the dark forest or other wilder areas?
I found a nice spot at the top of a high steep and also walkable slope, where a beautiful green plain was bordered with forests with green flora, rocks and also a side where a snow area begins.
All this with the beautiful view from the edge of the slope.

Besides the only missing detail, 'water', this place was the perfect place to build my camp / possible settlement.
It doesn't compare to an uninhabited and dilapidated village that I found close to the sea.

In the first modest cabin I already had 5 full boxes with valuable items, outside a BBQ made of wood and stones and next to it some hives for that fresh sweet honey sauce with my wild boar meat.

I was almost preparing to demarcate small areas for planting seeds for certain fruits but then when I started cutting very innocent fresh wood, suddenly a couple of wolves AND also a blue giant troll came sniffing around their new neighbor, and this fell not in their taste.

I had to flee from the wolves, and luckily they were a little further distracted from some deer they apparently found much more interesting
on my return to my cozy cabin, I saw that this troll was destroying my nest, a whole corner and edge had been smashed to pieces, my bbq was gone but luckily the bees were unharmed, which I couldn't say about 1 storage box .

To this day, I still defend that place over and over with my life, and as far as my explorations have taken me, 'that' place is still worth dying for over and over again.

The eternal fight,
My little Valhalla.

In my opinion Valheim is a very entertaining constructive survival game.
Few games of this genre really kept me glued to the screen, but Valheim hit it 100%.

The start is always some sorting out and patiently butchering animals for their valuable items - collect enough items to build or craft other necessary things and once you are settled, you are ready to explore this mega huge open world.

The building and craft system is very easy to master, although the things you want to work towards depend on your view of the options you have and also your creativity.
Valheim offers a lot of possibilities in this area, you will also have to upgrade items and the workbench to be able to build more things,
so you start with making wooden huts to possibly a full stone castle or city / cities with possible ports for the boats. and ships that you will make.

The vehicles for sailing are also necessary to explore the rest of the world, they are not difficult to operate at all, but keep in mind the direction of the wind or it could be a long journey.

Online in Valheim you can play together with up to 10 people in 1 server, this brings more fun to building a city, exploring or fighting with the so many monsters that Valheim has hidden within. By the way, try not to stand with too many people on 1 raft, no doubt some will fall into the water.

In addition to the many enemies, this world also has many dungeons hidden in the dark forest, for example, you will often see these locations guarded with some enemies that are in those dungeons, in these dungeons you will often find unique items, at least, if you stay alive that is.
Monsters are also often tied to specific locations, for example you will encounter wolves in snow areas or monsters in other areas, this makes things a little bit easier if you are specifically hunting something.

Besides lively monsters and beasts in the open world you will also have to defeat special enemies such as when you make an offering on an offering table
these enemies are very cool and also very challenging to fight, of course they are not that easy, with patience you can usually handle them alone, but of course it is better to fight them in a group, just like a group against a giant troll is much more effective than if you need 5 bows - 800 arrows and 4 spears to defeat a troll on your own, if you also kill the shamans who come to heal the trolls in time.

When you die you will lose all your gear and skills, BUT, you can get it all back by returning to the spot highlighted via an icon on the map and radar.
If you get there you will get everything back.
If you hang around in the water for too long, you will also lose HP due to the automatically decreasing stamina meter, if you do not get out of the water in time, you die. (I'm not really a fan of this last part, vikings are hardcore, and they can't swim too long or it becomes deadly, I suppose this is for a reason of encouraging the players to sail but I honestly think that players will choose sailing more often than long distance swimming even if it was possible to swim long and stay alive.

Valheim has a lot to offer and from the first hour you play you realize that you have been made curious,
You look at the map and zoom out and you are speechless.
The world is very beautiful, the visual effects of nature with accompanying sounds create a perfect ambient atmosphere.

Definitely a game where you can invest an incredible amount of time and experience new things for a very long time.
