Back to Valheim again for a bit. A local gaming group fired up a new server, so I am back into building massive bases into the side of mountains.

I stay away from early access, so now that this is imminent-I decided to give Valheim a try. It’s super fun and I’m not sure why. It’s grindy af, and I don’t think there’s any new and novel mechanics - but I’m hooked.
Maybe the difficulty and the fact I’m just playing blind? Man, sailing for the first time was cool. Then I decided to land in the swamp, at night, for the first time ever - ya, that didn’t end well…. Kinda had to start over, couldn’t even get to my corpse lol. Brutal but fun…

I’ve got 1500+ hours in it overall, though I suspect I left it on the menu screen and fell asleep a few times to reach that number.
It still scratches the rpg/builder/cooperative itch for me, even though I mostly just solo build stuff now.
The challenge of trying to build big and taller with the weight/support mechanic seems to pull me back.
Then sailing does too. I’ve been revisiting the ashlands a bit as well, trying to get my block/dodge timing back up to par before 1.0 hits later this year.
