the feel of progression everytime I get a new material in this game is great. Haven't felt that in a long time. I have iron armor and weapons and I can take night walks around the dark forest and even swamps easily now. Comfy building too.It's like what I wanted minecraft to be from time to time.
I hate this game. It could have been good but the damage scaling is so fucked. Breaking into a new biome garuntees you will be oneshot by the locals. The gear you get is never an interesting mechanical change. Bosses just get faster as they get lower on health so melee stops being viable just cheese them with arrows. Ballistas are worthless. Magic is boringEvery tier has a basic gear set and a gearset with a unique passive which is useless going foreward because the aforementioned damage scaling. Food management stops being fun 40 hour in. Ashlands is cancer. But im ok with the literal hell biome being pretty hellish. It was actually kinda fun chipping away at it in a group. And the boss was almost well designed. I could actually parry and engage it until it got into a loop of spamming its fuck off aoe fire move. I know my friends will want to play again when the frozen north update drops. I really dont want to.
