Maybe you've heard of Valheim?
It's a viking "mmo" with up to 10 people on a server, where you survive, and beat bosses together.
It's like minecraft, terraria, and raft had a baby.
When logging in to steam some nice person in my friendslist had given the game to me. I thought it would be bad.
To my surprise this is probably the best polished game I have seen in a long while. Although there's not a billion amounts of content, that's okay. The things that are there are beautiful, decently simple, and engaging.
No massive issues, no crashing, and no "getting stuck" everywhere. I've heard desyncs exist, but havn't had them myself. It matters a lot that everyone in the party/game has good internet, as the person who first joins a region will be in charge of syncing all animals and items etc. Even if the game is server-based.
I've came to expect games to have extreme issues on launch. This was not one of those games.
Im unsure if I think it deserves the extremely good reception it has had, but it definitely does not-not deserve it.
