@@WorthABuyreviews it was a beast but it's more than 5 years old, and at 1080p the CPU is really important for AVG FPS and especially for 1% LOWS. Maybe the game has a problem and it will be solved, but as a reviewer it's probably unfair to blame frame drops using a cpu released in 2018. On the other side, it could be considered more fair and realistic, cause not every gamer has last gen hw. Anyway, If you were my friend, I would suggest you to upgrade this year, or next year: the easy choice is 7800x3d (or wait for 9800x3d at the end of the year). Peace and love from Italy!

This is one of the few games where I bought cosmetic DLC just because I believe that the release price was severly too low for what we got in EA. 🤯 I really think the "put a release worthy game into EA, set price low and let people decide to support us via cosmetic DLC" approach is fantastic. 1. Devs need high quality to get people hooked and want that DLC > profit for customer 2. Low entry point, because cheap base game > profit for customer 3. Put great cosmetics into base game, so DLC is just a matter of taste instead of "ugly base model, high quality DLC FOMO" > profit for customer Amazing way to put it out there. Too sad that most AAA companies release games in 1.0 in worse quality than V Rising had when it came out into early access. 😂👌

I played this with my sons a couple of years ago. It was fun for the most part. My biggest problem was the balancing issue. No matter how much I leveled up, I didn't feel leveled up. We never actually finished the game because of this. It became so tedious fighting off lower level bosses that were still hitting us like we were lower level, despite we were higher levels. Most of the focus for the updates shifted to PVP and that's not our jam. So, kinda gave up on it. Might go back and start a new game if they've fixed that. Right now we're doing the Hollow Halls in Enshrouded. Still loving that game, and we're wiating on a new Valheim update.

Thanks mate. Will get.

I wish the map in both this and abiotic factor was randomly generated. It adds so much more replayability. I’m hesitant to pick up either of them due to this, I restart survival games very often and knowing what’s coming ruins a lot…

Playing again now 1.0 is out, really, really enjoying it!

Now V Rising has come out of Early Access. Would you do a video comparing it to all other similar titles like Diablo 4, Grim Dawn, Path of Exile, etc? It would be a very interesting video if you do a comparison in various aspects.

As well as your honesty, I always like that your reviews tend to be interesting! I was watching IGN review this earlier and it almost put me to sleep! Had to switch it off after 2mins because it was so damn boring. Good on you Mack!

Ah fuck SNP joke as a Scot I loved it 😂

love macs reviews... played v rising in its first EA release. I tried PvE and it was kind of boring but im a bit weary of public PVP servers.

Just started a server talking to my discord friends. Most of them were like “what’s v rising?” And “mmm okay” but then as they watched some trailers and looked it up and watched my streams everybody inevitably comes around lol it’s just a ducking FUN game

Almost died at the joe biden call

Well worth the cost and well fair price for all the replayable content. Also best part is that the mtx isn't intrusive, quality of life is there day one, and relative bug free. Wish all EA games start and end like this one.

I played it when it was released as early access it was a great game already. Either way gloomrot update and 1.0 they added tons of QoL improvements. Itemization, customization,inventory management etc everything just simply clicks in the game, they made all the mumbo jumbo of survival open world genre far less tedious and time consuming so that you can focus on more fun mevhanics of the game. Brilliant work by devs definetly worths a revisit.

'All kinds of SHIT' lmao

Great reveiw, just wished youdve talked briefly about all the dlcs the game has, not sure which are core to the main experience/ most fun. Which is always a big issue for me due to FOMO.

Slumber is called torpor.

"you will take everything from them and give nothing back" 😄

the only reason i stoped playing this game a few weeks after early access release is the fact that i dont always have time to farm blood for the castle heart.. sometimes im away 2-3 weeks at a time and when i come back my castle is gone/decayed.. i wish there was a option for that not to happen.. or it could last for like 3-4 weeks at a time... even if it ment me playing single player.. but then i guess the bosses would be to hard.

@Pyroteq

You can customise the hell out of the game, so I'd be very surprised if you can't turn off castle decay. Obviously if you're playing on someone else's server you can't change the rules, but you can play offline or host your own server with whatever rules you want.

What a great game, thanks for recommending it. 70 hours in and the pvp is great.

I avoided playing it in Early Access because i knew i'd just go nuts with it... and yeah. It's been out in 1.0 since yesterday and i've already clocked in over 20 hours and i'm about to start another session with a mate. Easily the best survival game i've ever played. I love the setting, combat is fun and challenging on Brutal and it looks great with awesome spell effects and cool abilities to unlock. I'll probably get even less natural sunlight than my character does in the next couple of weeks.
