Valheim Part 3

Part 1Part 2 The Plains I really enjoyed the new enemy types and how differently they all felt, even the types of fulings. It kept the combat and exploration feeling varied. I especially liked the challenge of approaching fuling villages. Again, the atmosphere of the biome and the renewed use for old materials were bothContinue reading “Valheim Part 3”

Updates: 3-21-2021

Reviews Latest review was Trollslayer, book 1 in the Gotrek & Felix series. I have a thing for starting series that I don’t own everything for, but at least for the Gotrek & Felix series, I have several omnibuses with 3 novels each.

It’s moody, dark, full of nasty monsters, and poison is not to be underestimated. And I like the little touches the biome has from theContinue reading “Valheim Part 2”

However, a friend gifted me a copy of Valheim, and I’ve been diving in quite a lot. Valheim is an open-world survival/crafting game with a Viking-inspired setting. Like most games in theContinue reading “First Impressions: Valheim”

Are other lands under the same effects? Does it signal the return of chaos? It’s time for CorumContinue reading “Book Review: The King of the Swords by Michael Moorcock”
