Valheim.

The first time I tried it, I got a really terrible seed, which turned me off pretty quickly. I also went in solo and blind.

My second time around, I got a pretty decent seed.

One where the Swamps actually gave me iron for once, and the Plains and Mistlands weren’t surrounding my tiny ass meadows spawning area…

I also watched a few tutorials and played with friends.

By the end, I had 1800 hours in the game and had built entire towns in vanilla mode.

I spent about twice as much time in creative/debug mode just building away.

I haven’t played in a year but I can’t wait to dive back in with the new North location once it releases.
