valheim is unplayable solo (don’t bother)

First of all don't start with the git gud as I have played all the soulsborne games plus elden ring and I've never gotten as frustrated as I am with the swamp in this game

I'm not even gonna talk about the plains as I got one shotted by some 0 hit box wasp over and and over trying to get my gear back so I gave up on them and rebuilt them wasting 4 5 hours grinding so it's beyond broken and you can get there accidentally not knowing it's a late game biome

The game simply isn't balanced for solo play

So I've got the full bronze kit level 3 and a level 3 ategir plus a Max level fine bow with bronze and fire arrows plus a troll max level cape

I started the game with a friend and enjoyed the first 50 hours of of it and now he's gone and I'm stuck trying to finish the game

The swamp area is broken af

Even with all that gear plus potion and 130 HP I can't do anything

It's not fun guys it's not fun , no one enjoys grinding for days to get killed by a wasp it's stupid

I got to the swamp with my karve ship and immediately 10 swamp draulers thingies showed up out of nowhere and destroyed it

Had to run for my life and found a medow area and built a shelter with a bed and slept the night there and a raft to get back to my nearest portal and guess what a serpent came out of nowhere and wrecked the thing and becuz swimming is absolutely broken on this game I drowned and died in the middle of the ocean and there was nothing I could do

and when I respawn I'm in the medow area with no boars cuz I killed them all and can't even build a raft plus draulers attack me cuz I'm close to the swamp

So in other words I can't do anything becuz u can't swim on this game and because I can't build a raft I'm stuck in a area with an enemy that one shots me so I can't do anything

I'll have to call my friend to login and bring a ship to my location so I can be saved now which sucks and is broken

Sometimes you'll get swarmed in dungeons by ghosts and skeletons and it's an instant death

Not to mention the amount of labor you have to go through to have food and wood solo it's not fun

Wouldn't recommend this for solo players

But it's hella fun co op

So don't waste your money if you wanna play solo it's not fun and simply not worth it unless you are fine giving up halfway cuz it starts GOOD

Also check this thread: other thread

EDIT : don't believe the 12 YEAR OLD fanboys in the comments, there is a similar post about this game not being fun for solo play and it isn't in my opinion

No game should need a 20 page guide before you play don't bother if u are playing solo
