V Rising

[Dark Drakan]

Came across a game this morning that has gotten people talking and it is being described as vampiric Valheim by RockPaperShotgun.

It is an early access, open world survival game (like countless before it). However after the success of Valheim it seems that so far this is being well recieved by gamers and media alike (averaging 84% on Steam at time of this post). It contains both PvP and PvE content as well as co-op and base building so its ticking a lot of boxes at once.

It is in early access and currently only £15.49.

Many people might have thought that the survival game train would be slowing with introduction of Valheim but it seems another has entered the fray and proved to be extremely popular on Steam.

V Rising on paper did sound like a box ticking exercise with it being an early access, open world survival game with base-building and crafting, plus PvP and PvE as well as co-op and solo play. However a huge 500,000 players had purchased the game after a mere 3 days and it has just peaked at 150,645 concurrent players in the last 24 hours and its sitting at an impressive 87% Very Positive rating on Steam.

It seems like sales have picked up of the game and it has gone from strength to strength, it has been reporting high concurrent players, high Twitch viewers and now over 1 million units sold in 7 days. It is the number 1 game on Steam at the moment and reviews still at a 'Very Positive' 88% rating which is nothing to be scoffed at for a title still in early access.
