What Steam players say

✦ AI summary

Wurm Online is a niche sandbox MMO that rewards players with deep freedom in terraforming, building, and crafting within a player-driven world, but its complexity, slow pace, unintuitive interface, and abundance of menus create a steep barrier to entry that frustrates many newcomers. Veterans with thousands of hours praise the game's depth and potential for long-term engagement, though it clearly demands exceptional patience and tolerance for archaic design that most modern gamers will find off-putting.

Only 8000 hours in this game out of steam. Still consider myself a noob. Press improve + repair for 3 days straight --> profit

Wurm Online offers an impressive level of freedom for anyone who enjoys true sandbox MMOs. Terraforming the land, gathering resources, crafting and building your own settlement makes the world feel genuinely player-driven, although the slow pace and complexity definitely require some patience.

I think this game was created to teach me patience. I personally dont have a problem with the game but I think that a lot of people would rather watch paint dry than play this game with all of the high speed kill em quick games out there. XD

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
