Valheim is a very early access game with potential. But i don't get the hype about it.
They hide a lack of content and development behind what they call features.
The building is very simple. No terraforming possible. At least not in the way as rising world, minecraft or any other voxel game.
The fighting is simple and not challenging, which is actually okay for me.
But the hostiles and biomes are quite simple, repetitive and boring.
What they do right is the mix of content they chose for the launch. A bit exploration, a bit fighting and base building. Some dungeons. A very good mix. I just don't see where the game should go to. They hide progresd behind unnecessary boss fights. Well, they are necessary as otherwise people wouldn't know what else to do or achieve.
Sorry for thar. I'm just feeling harsh about valheim with its low content getting that much attention while other gems are hidden in a dark dusty corner. Their marketing with several high profile YouTubeers and in twitch was very smart.
However a sundial would be indeed great in rising world. Never triec one actually.
Boss hostiles are planned for the new version, afaik
