One aspect that really bears highlighting is how customizable the game is. Don’t like how fast equipment degrades? There’s a server setting you can change.
Don’t like how fast blood drains? Server setting. Like fighting against general enemies, but dislike how boss fights drag on? Specifically adjust boss health and damage in a server setting.
Because it’s not a live service game, you’re not reliant on a single central server to dictate how you are allowed to have fun with the game.
I wish more games were like V Rising in this regard.

great way to format the video

everything is labeled, and also concise! Cheers

[cyarain]

This is one of the best video game reviews I've ever seen, well done!

[TheShugoBR]

sounds and music: sundenly THIS IS LUMINANCE!

[Chiaros]

Piqued my interest with the streams, definitely want to try it now. Will keep an eye out during the summer sale.

[BlooBelle-trsz]

Another excellent spoiler-free review! 👍

[Shalodar]

BLESS THIS SHOT...and you for this video, sums up the game perfectly!

[joshuacrowley]

I love your reviews Mukluk. I'm glad you branched to more content other than GW2. I wish I had the attention span to play 10k hours of guild wars, but I don't even have the patience to unlock the flying mounts. But new games to enjoy with unbiased reviews? I'm all ears!

I agree that my only real issue with the game was also not being able to pull from Storage, but it wasn't really a big deal. After you start to get familiar with some of the materials you can leave stacks of it in the Crafting station instead of constantly getting it from Storage. You can even put things in the Output section as Storage too, if you've got the space.

i am buying this for my steam deck. hoping it goes on sale today

[matsug]

For those interested in buying this, Steam Summer Sale 2024 will begin on 6/27/2024, Thank you Mukluk for the V rising review! I will absolutely get this game.

[allicedee]

I was looking for a reason not to buy it. But the Terraria comparison really sold it dammit. Good video

[ianashmore]

I think i prefer it on controller, but I'm struggling with ranged targeting.

[nene]

Is it just me or does this game feel weirdly off the radar? Maybe I'm just not seeing any of the videos or people playing (which is possible). Or did the devs not really market it much? Anyway, I'm glad to have found it on my steam recommendations! Nice video!

[yeungscs]

I guess you can say this is the real Vampire Survivor game

[MattAlbie]

4 playthroughs! I thought my 1 playthrough and 60 plus hours was an epic commitment!

[Joy_a_la_Mode]

Castlevania was a pretty big spoiler. Cool boss though.

[brandonclarke]

Looking for players on PS5 to link up and help with Adam/Dracula. Let me know. Love this game.

The game is awesome in a lot of ways, but it has WAY too long and too difficult boss fights for casuals. There are two skill setups for boss fights - if you don't like any of them tough luck. Community around the game is filled with blowhard elitists and trolls, both of those groups do all they can to alienate and disrespect newbies or unskilled players.
The game released to 135K concurrent players on steam and after 2 months out the numbers are down to 15K concurrent players, based on respective achievements - barely any players actually play through the whole game at any difficulty. That said you can play the game with next to no farming literally till the very late game. The open world looks great, castle building is robust and there are many decoration items to make your build stand out.
I have 350 hours in the game, but I'm taking a break from it since it burned me out...again.

"you do not level up in this game" technically you kinda do it's called Gear Level for a reason when upgrade or equipped new armor, accessories or weapons your Gear Level will get higher.
