Loved Valheim!!! Forgot about that one too.

I wish my friends enjoyed these games, as I'd have double the hours in. Playing solo does put an upper bound to how long I enjoy them.

Yeah and Valheim's multiplayer (at least for our group) kind of sidesteps the "grind" issues because we each tend to like different aspects.

I'll happily chop trees and mine all day, others like farming/animal husbandry, building, cooking, foraging, etc. All of us like exploring, boating, fighting bosses together. And we're all happy to craft/upgrade/repair our stuff.

That's the dream
