Smalland: Survive the Wilds

I'm having a lot of fun with it so far as single player. I think the best aspect is how you can basically fine-tune your world to be as difficult or as easy as you want it to be. Early enemies too hard? Reduce their health and attack in the menu. Got all geared up and felt like the boss was too easy? Make it twice as strong. Sick of crafting timers? Slide it all the way to 0 and never feel like you're standing around wasting time again. Day time too short and season time too long? Change em. I think my only complaint is the inability to completely turn OFF anti aliasing, ssr, post processing etc. rather than just set them to 'low'. I hate it when my game looks fuzzy and gets a weird ghost effect rather than being crisp and clear. It just looks bad in that regard but it's also not a deal breaker. It does randomly kick my fan way up and lag during storms even with all settings on low though.

I play Smalland with two other Steam friends. We all really enjoy it. It's very cute and the game runs smoothly in co-op mode, which is more than I can say about a lot of the games we play. The game mechanics are a little difficult but you get used to them and it's not a problem. It progresses nicely with better weapons, armor, food and building. There are animals and insects that you can ride or fly and eventually you will get wings of your own. I've seen people complain about the scale of things. I don't find that to be distracting from the game at all. It's a very cute fantasy world, just roll with it. It's very worth it if you can wait to get it on sale.

I really wanted to love Smalland. On paper, it sounds like an incredible combination of Terraria, Minecraft, Grounded, and Dark Souls. Unfortunately, after spending time with it, I found myself getting increasingly frustrated with nearly every major gameplay mechanic. There's a genuinely interesting game here, but it feels like the developers forgot to make half of its mechanics enjoyable. COMBAT The combat is probably one of my biggest complaints. It feels like the developers attempted to introduce Souls-style combat without understanding what makes that combat system enjoyable. Using swords, spears, and axes feels practically pointless against certain enemies, especially larger bosses and flying creatures that constantly move around. Half the time, you're struggling just to land a hit. Eventually, I abandoned melee weapons almost entirely and started using a bow as my primary weapon because it was significantly less frustrating. The stamina system doesn't help either. Stamina drains ridiculously quickly, making combat and general exploration feel unnecessarily restrictive. The skill tree and ability perks also feel incredibly underwhelming. I rarely felt like my character was…

i completed this game fully and i just wanted to say that this is on of the best games iv ever played
