It\u2019s a fun game, but it\u2019s a slow burn in the first 10 hours, especially when you are playing alone and on the highest possible difficulty. Some thoughts.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Dragonwilds, Alone, and Fighting for My Life<\/h2>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">My first playthrough and the struggles I\u2019m facing are self-inflicted, as this game\u2019s Hard mode makes enemies swarming you a clear threat to your survival. As I was learning the ropes, I was targeted by raiding Goblin parties and a dragon that shoots poisonous flames towards my direction if I\u2019m out in the open and visible. It\u2019s weirdly satisfying to have this much pressure as I build my little home near the game\u2019s starting point.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">It\u2019s a fun tough game, but it has its cons, as long journeys that result in a death can be discouraging when you have to travel back to where you died to retrieve your gear. An expected outcome when you die in games like this, but it feels more painful considering there aren\u2019t fast travel points everywhere like <em>Palworld<\/em> and other games like it, at least in the starting area. This adds a bit more pressure when pushing into the unknown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><em>Dragonwilds<\/em> has the same bells and whistles you\u2019d expect from a good survival game. Building so far is easy to control and manage with a controller and mouse, plus they have features that make it easier to manage all the items you gather in your journeys.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">As the difficulty stares at me each time I dare to do something new, I see my character slowly growing with each activity I do. If I chop down trees for wood, I level up my woodworking, which eventually gives me unique spells and perks for reaching certain levels. The same goes for mining, fishing, melee fighting, and even sprinting. Just being active and doing anything pushes you forward to a level up, which is how it should be as that\u2019s what <em>RuneScape<\/em> is known for.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">The original game has people grinding specific specialties like farming and such, making their character one of its many specialties. In a way, <em>RuneScape<\/em> is the same way, as you can focus on one over the other, but with me as a solo player, I\u2019m forced to do almost everything, pushing me to simply be the jack of all trades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s October, and I would like to mark the spooky month as more of a survival builder month.
