Valheim Review | A Viking Afterlife Survival Game
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Make purgatory great again! Valheim is a brilliant Viking themed survival game that has become an overnight success. It didnt take me long to realise why this game is so popular and well received. Put simply, its an indie gem.

Im here for the Banjo... and the Banjo was delivered.
The rest of the video was ok I guess
You get double banjos today Zero.
You sir, are criminally undersubscribed.
I've felt the same since I found the channel.
So is Worth A Buy
Indeed, worth a subscribe :D
Oh trust me he isn'tHe shitted on doom eternal just because he was extremely bad
Nah check his doom video lmfao
You had me at Goat simulator and punching pigs. Now i just need another lockdown for the time to play this! Looks like mega fun! :) P.S Ive never heard you so happy with a game. Its oddly disturbing.
Another 21Kiloton review!! Just when my Kilo-Meter was detecting increasingly severe content deprivation symptoms, I'm saved! Marvelous!!
On the first build where I was running my private server, one of my group was constantly pestered by a flying Neck. He couldn't hurt it, it couldn't hurt him, and nobody else could see it. This persisted through innumerable relogs and several server restarts.
So yeah, he's our clan's shaman now.
This should be put in as a feature. Weird hallucinations/visions that are exclusive to individual characters rather than the world. Maybe some shrooms or other psychoactive weeds to trigger weird shit.
@@Blurgleflargle I'm down.
I lol'ed
That is fascinating and hilarious.
I'm so proud that an indie game got so many sales, around 5 million, that's crazy, and I'm super proud of em. I wish them many many happy years
That's how many copies Risk Of Rain 2 has sold...just on steam. Not counting console sales.
I vehemently dispute the idea that you have absolutely ANY "moral" or "spiritual" values. LOL
That made me laugh so loud that I woke up the hostages!
@@21Kiloton Knowing that just made my whole farking weekend brother! CHEERS!
When the big companies can't do their jobs anymore(for example: Assassins creed:valhalla, and the many others), the little people stood up to the plate and got the job done. Nice review mate, spot on.
I've got nearly 200 hrs in the game and still haven't cleared the available 5 bosses. I don't even play survival/builder games. I also don't really play with mouse and keyboard, but guess what, the controller support in this game is really good! They didn't have to do that!
I normally don't watch reviews a second time. This is so good in its breakdown, the comedy is amazing, I'm going to watch this review again for the entertainment. Definitely subscribed and ringing the notification bell.
@21Kiloton thank you for the heart!!!
I can’t express how happy it makes me to find any new content on your channel. Like the others before it, I am amazed at how beautifully you wax lyrical... how your prose enhances my vocabulary in ways I never knew possible... 😛
... how your honest, up front, personalised opinion makes my own purchase choices easier.. don’t ever change your delivery. It’s magical.
You humble me with your kind words. Glad to be of service.
You can kill mythical creatures with a freaking camp fire. 10/10. Would die again.
Any Valhiem livestreams?
Would be cool
Yes please
I agree! I still watch the Fallout and Kingdom Come Deliverance livestreams.
Valheim an open world Viking game developed by 5 people. A C Valhalla developed by Poopisoft with a team of 600 people. Which would you prefer to play?
both
Try 2000+
@@chillhour6155 Actually you’re right. Making it even more disgraceful. Have you read about the theory that dev teams numbering more than a dozen see finishing returns to productivity every person added. Follows a bell curse so there’s some sort of multiplicative - an inverse square law.
Ive played neither and am exited by both but keeping in mind that AC Valhalla was the best selling entry in the franchise and made ubisoft their most profitable quarter shows its what people want and pay for and definitely if the masses had different priorities and wanted different games then the companies would have done so instead of taking the route they are on so to some extent I think its futile criticizing the big publishers and at the same time ignoring that they make games for the masses to maximize profit and at the end of the day its the people that dictate what they do and if these franchises had not sold as they did they would have been cut immediately or changed to cater to the audience, so I think at least half of the criticisms must be targeted at the people buying these games if you think its not right and if things are to change its vital to educate people to not settle for the same old same old time and time again cuz no matter how much you criticize a company at the end of the day their decision making process is based upon market data and scientific formulas and they are not gonna change it until you change that data. Also realistically Valhalla had a 500 million dollar budget, if anyone including you and me had invested this kind of money on a product we would be looking for a strategy to minimize risk and maximize profit, no one would take a route in the dark that could lead to loss of investment while there is tried and proven routes that guarantee the outcome to some extent. Its not realistic for a product with that investment to take a route like valheim did. There are many similar games like valheim that didnt work. You wont find a producer in any industry that would axe its best selling product to instead start producing an innovative alternative that may or may not work! That kind of thing happens in the startup sector with low investments and if it proves its worth is then upscaled in multiple stages. Why do you expect the video game industry to be different?
The game made by 5 people...
It's nice when you pay a games publisher and get a game in return not just a beta test or portal for micro transactions.
Exactly
You were right about Remnant from the ashes when you recommended it
I will buy this game cause I know your shit is honest 🤘
Good luck, and I hope I dont let you down.
Quick tip mate - Control-click moves entire stack of items to other inventory, always adding to the existing stacks until they are full. A very neat and convenient ui feature that saves mouse movements. Shift-click on the other hand will let split stacks. Shift-click defaults to 50% of stack but You can adjust the slider. I am amazed that this game have so many good UI and interface perks and quality of life features that are often missed in other games.
Thank you for that mate.
at some point they also added the option to punch in the exact amount you want to move using numpad/number keys (after shift-click)
So addicting, it starts slow it's so goddamn enjoyable.. Specially the building system (me being an architect appreciate it) and cutting down trees then watching the cascading trees kill each other in a glorious shower of wood splinters.
They announced a while back that the game has been played for 15k years. I would really like to know the number of damage and deaths to players caused by trees 😁
I just spent 47 minutes watching a review of a game I've got around 100 hours in. WHERE THE FUCK DID VALHEIM COME FROM??
At first I too thought "viking mine craft" but this honestly looks very interesting. Did you ever try multiplayer? At the very least, I'm *very* happy anytime an indie dev gets some limelight. It's good for everyone.
Thank you for the video.
You are very welcome mate. I have thus far only played solo, but I am planning to drop in on someone and spend some time helping them base build.
Regarding first impressions, I dont know if this is my imagination, but I swear the models get more sophisticated the higher tech they are. I cant tell if I am just acclimatizing to the game, but it certainly seems the graphics are more "pixilated" for low tier gear.
As always, thank you for your time Hikeskool.
listening to your commentary is more entertaining than all the damn hollypeggerwood
movies i saw within the past couple of years. Straight up...Im an adult, I can figure it out.
if I dont like it I dont have to watch it or listen to it...SIMPLE :-P
this is what happens when you get dumped one too many times, so you drink one too many beers and take home whatever didnt run away that night only to wake up to... yeah... just google "nick frost waking up"...
(my opinion without the long bla bla from my other comment).
Mr kiloton, you could take absolutely any book and retell the story in your own words and I would buy it. You sir have a new subscriber.
Thank you kindly. I am seriously considering narrating some childrens books in my own particular "style". That will put hairs on their chests..... even the girls.
@@21Kiloton yes....
This is by far the best assessment of Valheim I've seen so far. Great job, very entertaining.
Thank you Rick. Glad to have been of service
Hands down the best fucking review of this game so far, good job!
I had managed to stay away from this games reviews up until this point buuuut your not going to not watch a Kilo-Review even if one of the best games since Stardew Valley may never see a console release and you have to just wish, want, and wait... I still loved the review!!
I am sinking way too many hours between valheim and deep rock galactic right now and I don't see it changing any tune soon!
They compliment each other so well, DRG for my FPS shits and giggles and Valheim for my long term progression and exploration.
Both from small dev teams, both have tiny install files, both published by coffee stain games AND for both games combined I payed just over half the price of one new AAA game!
Damn straight. I have literally been PUSHED towards indie games because there is so much quality coming from small developers, whilst TripleA just seem to want our money. Happy hunting mate.
It's nice seeing you again so soon.
It really feels weird when you don’t absolutely shit on a game... btw I love this game spent over 100 hours in it already!
I love punching pigs! Great video as always. I have put 25 hours into the game in the past week since I got it. Can't put my finger on why I like it so much, but would definitely recommend it.
I would beat the game again but I would fall asleep midway
A lot of this reminds me of Satisfactory. They also announce auto-saves because they induce ever increasing lag spikes, they do a lot "correct" in that matter. This game looks interesting, it basically looks like a medieval-themed Satisfactory
I'd say more so Viking 3D Terraria but that's just me.
To illustrate the amount of fuckery that you're going to get addicted to, I just spent 3 real life days trying to get back me high end shit because I've avoided the mountain biome for too long, got the nerve to go, had all my nice stuff and both got froze to death and one-shotted by a fucking wolf... Many deaths later and I finally have retrieved my shit, it was frustrating but I couldn't not retrieve my shit and just decided to brute force it with a line of campfires and when I was in the general vicinity made a lean to... which was great until more wolves skull fucked me and a drake blew up my lean to... by this point there was absolutely no marker for my original death which lead to yet-more deaths trying to get back to that general area and rebuilding my decimated lean to... then I couldn't find the damned orignal death point and a whiteout hit and another drake sniped me... repeat this cycle til I found the drop, picked my shit up, got to my lean to and died in front of it because of yet another sniper shot up the ass by a drake... it's at this point that self-awareness hit and I realized that I've spent 3 actual days to get this shit back, so I respawned in my lean to, grabbed my shit and gtfo... base abandoned, balls singed, finally back at my main base... I regret nothing!
I feel ya. I spent several irl days building a road between two bases, so I could shuttle resources between a dangerous area and a safe area.... then shortly afterwards unlocked portals. I regret nothing. Im still proud of that road. Happy hunting Thomas
i fall asleep while listening and it's not the first time.. in the afternoon lol. It's not that the content is boring, it's maybe the tone of your voice... i'll try if i can put my kids to sleep with this video
I know what you mean, i think its a combination of the voice and eloquence and the vitriol that has a calming effect xD
This game looks really compelling.
Can't wait for the many updates they will bring. Updates expected till game is officially released. I. Excited for all that is to come. Its a beautiful game! Imagine if they expand on the world with more biomes, monsters, or even bigger dungeons and more gear. I'm still at freaking troll armor, but I can't wait to see what else gear I can craft!!
Good, one, mate, thoroughly enjoying the game as I did your review. My skills as a Viking architect are complete rubbish, but that's my fault, not the game's, but I am getting better, so Frank Lloyd Wright better watch out, Harry's chasing the crown. As I suspected, 2021 is getting better and better in every way, a very few games, like this one, included - though hardly surprising, after the completely fucked 2020. Onwards and upwards and take care. Cheers, Harry.
Great review mate, at least till you brought up Wig Wams! Wft man? Not everybody lives in a cul-de-sac neighborhood. Hope ya got more material coming, locked down again( non-covid). Any thoughts on streaming this live??
This game is amazing. I'm very glad to have snagged it while it's still $20 US. I've gotten more out of this game in the short time I've had it than I've put into many titles triple the cost. If you don't have it, get it. As far as the graphics, it's def an art choice, sure the models are built on that pixelated low res poly stuff that was great on ps1, however, they did some shit to this game that will guarantee that you'd never be able to run it on a ps1, if you run it via vulkan and up the graphics to max raytracing is enabled. IDK if that's Nvidia dependent, but, I've been able to get that effect running smoothly on my supposedly unsuported gtx 1050 ti just fine.
I'm completely flabbergasted that this game is so feature complete for an early early access title...
What I love about Valheim is that your base looks really nice, I'm tired of games like Rust where the buildings are just squares of plywood and corrugated metal.
Honestly, I haven't had this much fun with the video game in years, and it is only 1 GB big Assassin's CreedValhalla who?!?:D
Its $19.99 buy the goddamn game. If you don't like it, your a pleb. Love the content Kilo!!!
Pigs when they lock on to you don't stop, they even hang around outside your home if you made a trench.
Biggest surprise was chopping down a young tree, finding two trolls behind it. Leather armor does not help much, rested and food would have been nice now that I think about it.
another awesome video!!! looks great 👍 should I buy a gaming pc instead of new gen console ? I'm generally a solo player so not worried bout playing with "friends " on console lol !
Looks like my kind of game, will wait for the final release though.
Yeah smart move. Better to play the final product.
EA is already fun, though.
@@IsntTheInternetGreat I know but it makes no difference to me to wait.
@ReverseSwagg Only if you stay aliv.
@@stefanagha3248 true. Life is a gamble.
Well, if you played the sh*t out of Valheim, that qualifies you as an expert in my view. Another great video!
If you like Valheim, then maybe try out Vintage Story - it's not on Steam though. www.vintagestory.at/ I'm loving it.
Like always I come for the banj, stay for the well informing shit posting
pro tip : when you find trader, first make a portal base next to him. dont get all excited buy all stuff from trader and then die from near by enemy,
i found miine in a black forest
Valheim for ps5! To bad the Division 2 isn't as creative as an Indie studios.
5 million copies at 20 bucks a pop? These guys have made 100,000,000
Your review convinced me:
Just bought Valheim.
26:16 Forgotten Weapons goodness right there. Another Quality Channel
Well, I'm hooked ...on this channel I mean. Your approach to making videos is brilliant! I could sit and listen to you ramble on for an hour then turn around and play the same video over again. Much like Valeim is to the current state of gaming your unique way of narrating and video production is to the world of UA-cam gaming videos. Im glad I accidentally stumbled across your channel in my search for more unique Valheim content. Keep doing what you are doing! Its working! ...Now excuse me while I binge on your past content.
Very pleased you found me mate.
I laughed so much I almost died, are you a comedian of some sort? Damn, great video man.
Another great video. Adding in some Forgotten Weapons was nice icing, 26:15
I dont even like viking style games but already 120 hours in
Been on the fence about this game tbh. I wanna buy it but, I don't wanna be suckered again. I've been trying to find a good game that will keep me busy for a long time, I have ADHD so I like to hyper fixate on one thing lol. But I have been let down so many times.
I cant predict if you will like it, but I can at least vouch for the game. If it clicks with you, and you get into the games systems, and enjoy spending whole afternoons building bases, and hours making roads on an island, then this game will be a bigger time sink than Skyrim. I reckon give it a spin. Its cheap, and you will be supporting a good developer.
Either way, thanks for watching
Holy shit. THAT was a review! (Although, I wish you had put a spoiler alert about the fishing pole). Small gripe given there really weren't any others, and balanced against the sheer depth and, dare I say, eloquence of your descriptions. This review is a real service to the gaming community. THANK YOU, good sir!
I'm a tad over 100 hours in, having only defeated the first boss and LOVING being granted the freedom to take my time and enjoy each new accomplishment. I could easily play for another 100 hours just building with the skills, resources and tools I presently possess. Like a few gems of games before it I can safely say of Valheim: "It is not a game you play. It is a game you live."
And I continue to look forward to each day I "arrive".
Apologies for the spoiler fella. I agree with your take on the pacing of the game. Im actually pootling around, setting up little ports and building infrastructure so I can gather and transport metals more easily to a central hub, and doing all sorts of off-topic activities just because Im enjoying myself so much. I think the job does an excellent job of rewarding you whatever you decide to do. Some players want to aggressively cap progress and others want a more "systematic" journey to the end game. Personally Im having so much fun building tree houses and exploring swamps I think it will take me forever to get to the last boss.
Thanks for watching mate. Glad you are enjoying the game.
ha ha ha, roadbuilding for the cart. How many hours did I waste on that?
“So what is my finial thoughts?”
(20 mins later)
@21Kiloton: great review. great game. we´re playing the s**t out of it. even rented a dedicated server, which we didn´t do since cs 1.6 back in the day.
one OCD-Note: while shifting items into crates. hold CTRL and Klick on an Item to automatically put it to the pile of same item already in the box. no need to drag it all seperately.
Thank you for the tip, and I am very glad to hear that you are enjoying Valheim.
I just stumbled upon your video from related content. Holy crap, you are hilarious 😂. Also, your review is very informative, well thought out and kept me engaged without spoiling the game. Well done sir. A like and new sub from me.
Thank you, and welcome to the channel. Im sure this is the first of many bad life choices I can help you with!
Just now on my 12th playthrough of this weeks Kilo-Review lol. Geezus I love this dude's videos
Every game can benefit from a shoulder-fired mini nuke.
Damn straight
Or a jetpack
Ahhhhh. New content. Hits like a 60 dollar hit of crack.
35:35 What is nature? What is garbage? Do you know who are you?
Im still unsure about this game, i dont really have anyone to play it with so im afraid i will waste my money just like i did with Minecraft. My main issue with these type of games is that the overworld is "empty", theres no characters, factions big settlements and things like that that give the illusion its a "living world" of sorts.
As always nice to see more content. I hope you start streaming again soon even if its for only a day every week. Also im willing to lend you a hand with modding Fallout 4, theres a mod that adds real brothel mechanics with rewards. (it is also SFW.)
I will probably not be playing Fallout 4 in the short term but thank you kindly for the offer. As for Valheim, I cant honestly predict whether you will enjoy it, but I am playing solo and really loving it. I personally found that the open world quite engaging because there are enough nasty surprises constantly that you generally feel quite immersed in the game.
I wish you luck either way Rave.
I would play the hell out of a Barsoom themed survival game.
Valheim is the best and most addictive game I have played in many years!
eeeew new content to like this game is bloody good matey like your content 😎👍
I see Gun Jesus I upvote. Forgotten Weapons for the win.
I built a port on the other side of my massive starting area only to then hit the plains biome and start an entirely new base that is about 3x the size of my original large one in the black forest just so I can farm efficiently. I have built so many bases/outposts I started abandoning them because I found better and better locations to build... this game is sucking my life away and I am ok with that.
HAHA yeah I feel you. Just finished building a mega base for my next video and unlocked stone about an hour later ffs.
22:06 Sounds like Stardew Valley.
I bought this game because I didn't believe it was asgood as people were saying. For the first time I'm happy to admit I was wrong.
Exactly the same mate.
Imo, the most important thing that they should patch right away is the coal mechanics. Charcoal is derived from plant matter, coal is a rock.
Good spot
Literally my favorite channel
Extra thumbs up for the Forgotten Weapons clip of Ian using the flamethrower
Thanks for the laugh, great vid again mate!
You are hilarious. A flamethrower! Haha
It's about 1am here and that's usually the reason why I laugh a lot more than normal. But dude, that intro was so *funny* and so *true* .
Good shit. This isn’t the sort of game I’m into but now I know what all the fuss is about. Best of luck to these devs
Well said sir. I really hope these guys go on to future successes
Fantastic review love it to come to consol
This game makes AC: Valhalla look like garbage... Which ain't hard to do
Well said sir
You sir are a legend Great video...😎
Nice to hear you getting mushy fee fees 😋
Great review... as usual . When my day is depressing your videos make me laugh like an idiot 🤣. I wonder if you are going to review the new kid on the block Outriders. Keep up the great job. 👍
Im pleased to hear that I lighten your day mate. And yes, I will be casting my cynical eye over Outriders.
At least PeopleCanFly promised no pedocaches. .. but Masive promised that as well, and we all know how that ended. 🤦
You got my subscription
Where is the review of outriders demo?
This game looks a lot like Ark
Advanced minecraft
Sounds like ark.
Plus points for a Forgotten Weapons clip!
Nothing to top off my Jamaican vacation more than the trash weed the locals sell overpriced to tourists, and a unbiased 21kilo review
Have a lovely holiday Jack. Glad to have been of service.
I picked up this game last week and I LOVE IT! I'm normally NOT a "survival game" player but I can't put it down.
Yet another game review video that I watch start to end, even though I knew the game wasn't for me... Classic 21kiloton delivery of solid evaluation sprinkled with beer-out-of-nose ROFL moments. Solid gold
To be fair, weaponized pigs that try to murder you is pretty much how the swedish wilderness in real life is. On that note, it's impressive how true to the real life nordic wilderness this actually looks like. Well, with the exception of trolls and other mythological beings.
Terraforming is what really blows up the save time and base pop in. I used a mod that allowed me to flatten 40 ft at a time and had the game nearly locking up for saves after using it about 6 times. Go easy on the voxels. On the bright side critters path on the reformed terrain quite well I think, surprisingly so.
Great vid.
Wish AAA developers would realize that graphics don't make the game, the game makes the game. And sick graphics are a bonus. I still play Counterstrike:Source. Its still a good time.
I have found the building does not "just work" it is TERRIBLE. I love building, I mostly built bases in F04 but I have yet to find building in this game fun.
