Bought on 06/26/2024, I recall hearing about this game few months back but didnt do a go ahead cause of the price, than once again around 6/26 I saw it up and said F it clearly this is a sign. This is actually proudly my second time outright paying for a game cause it seemed so nice. And the first game I ever bought out of pocket (Counter Strike) was just because, but this one was a full on commitment to me watching the care this community and dev put onto the game. All the games I played were either free or pirated. I never even picked up MC because of regrets since my childhood days, and slowly watching the game fall apart and move away from its player base. This is why is love Vintage Story, I hope they stay indie for ever to come. Love you mom

Brilliant game! Where do I start:

The crafting mechanics are amazing, and I love how every material has a way to be shaped into what you want, from stone tools, to pots and forging!

I love how the world interacts with itself and the player! Animals hunt animals, wolves stay in groups and will get aggressive if you go near them, some game will try to defend itself from being hunted, other animals will want to eat your crops and more.

Speaking of crops, the farming in this game is in depth. You can't just plant wherever and whenever. You will want a fertile soil, you should see if it lacks any nutriens, if it's moist, if it's too cold or warm, nutriens will get exhausted and should replenish over time.

Mining is the next big thing because you'll need to prospect for the ores you need. It's not as simple as games like minecraft, where you find iron and you're set, it'll be long before that happens in this game! One of the game's main aspects is the ages you go through, like copper age, which is hard enough to get to, but oh so rewarding when you're there. Every accomplishment in this game feels amazing because you've worked so hard for it!

And the final thing I want to note is how polished this game is! I haven't encountered a single bug yet and everything just works as it is supposed to! I love how the developers aren't rushed to develop the game and therefore offer a refined, yet "unfinished" product. I can't wait to see what comes next in the VS universe, kudos to the devs, this game deserves more attention! 5 stars experience!

I bought this game in February 2020 and I still play it on occasion. It's definitely worth 18 euro. Honestly I think it would be a good value at 30-40 euro as well.

I like to think of this as the "adult" version of Minecraft, even though it's not really like Minecraft at all. Yes, this game looks similar at first glance because it's a procedural generated world made up of blocks. You gather resources, build, and survive. There's a 3x3 crafting grid like in Minecraft which is used for some things but there's also a much more intricate crafting system when it comes to cooking, clayworking, smelting, blacksmithing, and leatherworking.

You place your clay on the ground and you shape each layer of the thing you're making voxel by voxel. You put the raw, unfired clay into a pit kiln and light it on fire so the clay can cook and harden. If you want to make a pickaxe, you must first build a mold out of clay, cook it in the pit kiln, then place it on the ground or on a table. You also need to make a crucible out of clay and do the same thing. You put the crucible on a firepit, add your copper nuggets, and light the fire. The fire has to be hot enough to melt copper which means you can't use sticks as a fuel source. You have to make charcoal or use brown or black coal.

Once the crucible is full of molten copper, you pour it into the pickaxe mold you made earlier. Once the copper cools, you have a pickaxe head. Open the crafting grid and place it in there and put one stick under it.

Some things can't be made with molds. So you have to build an anvil. You create an anvil mold out of clay, pour your molten metal in, and let it cool. Then you pour molten metal into ingot molds to make ingots. Those can be re-heated on a forge so they can be worked on the anvil. Then you use a hammer (which you have to make using a hammer mold) to shape the ingot, voxel by voxel, until it has the correct shape for whatever you're making.

In Minecraft you'd just take a few diamonds or iron ingots, plop them in the crafting grid with some sticks and you have tools. That's boring. Leatherworking and cooking have different mechanics which are also more complex than Minecraft.

I've spent a lot of time talking about the crafting aspects of it but you can also grow crops, fruit trees, raise bees (and collect honey), and breed animals. Each new generation of animal you breed gets tamer and tamer. Eventually they won't be afraid of you at all. You can bake pies and bread, make soups and stews, make jam, beer, and preserve meat.

Food spoils over time so you have to find ways to preserve it. Jam lasts longer than the berries you use to make it, cured meat lasts longer than normal cooked meat, and you can put soups and stews in crocks in a cellar to make them last longer. And you have to do this or you will be very hungry when winter comes and your crops die.

I really enjoy the depth and level of detail this game has.

Realistic Minecraft Hardcore? Yes

I don't have too much play time just yet but after seeing the amount of detail and care put into this game I had to leave a review!
After recent events with another popular sandbox block building game (which I will not get into here). I felt like I needed to move away from it a bit and explore other open world sandbox options, at first I saw this game as another "clone" which for a while kept me away. However after reading more into the game and finally deciding to try it for myself I found that while this game does hold some resemblances and inspiration from another popular game it can clearly be seen it is far from a "clone", it is a very unique game offering immersive survival mechanics and engaging gameplay, the game is backed by amazing players, and devs who truly care about their project and players! If you are on the fence about it defiantly give it a try!

the best survival game

Beautiful game, so much detail and soul put into it. Will definitely be keeping my eye on this games development. 

Это лучшее во что я играл и буду продолжать играть надеюсь я дождусь дальнейших обновлений ))))

This review comes from the perspective of a yearlong fan but also an active Moderator for one of the many server/communities in VS.

The time spent playing this game has easily clocked triple digits - yet the full scope of all the mechanics available has yet to be experienced. This scope does include mods as the typical server (exception : Mudwall) is continuously evolving with different mod combinations. The possible game styles available are seemingly limitless and the integration with normal game-play is nothing short of seamless. All this amazing madding potential under-shadows the level of depth, engagement, and subtle complexity that already holds the base game up as a fully satisfying standalone title.(returning example : Mudwall Server)

This doesn't go without a personal regret. The amount of time I'd spent this year - playing this game - pushed my almost gaming addiction into a real world problem. This problem was enough to force me to take a serious look at what (little) benefit most games gave - and whether the cost to my life was worth it. In the end almost all games were cut and the few that remained on the short list were because of community. VS, is the only game that offered something more than just a friend group however and now sits as the only game that is welcome on my daily ToDo.

As expected with communities and the ability to engage - there's a place for every kind of player out there. The excitement of combat and adventure, the satisfaction from meaningful progression, the engaging nature of role play, and the unrivalled creative potential that building mechanics have to offer in this game. These are but a few core gameplay avenues that players can have access too when playing. Different servers will have tailored experiences suited to serve on play style or another. My personal server is with a growing role-play community called MoonDrop. Come visit sometime.

This community in mind - the great reward that VS brings to the table is the strong creative collaboration between players, servers, modders, and *especially* the developers themselves. The potential for this game is through the roof and so is the ease of learning for any budding developers wanting to try their hand at it. So much is being unlocked on the back of this fantastic and robust engine that at times it's hard to even keep up. Best of all - this game is still thick with unrealised future features and - stable as it is - is still quite aways from finishing(if it ever will). On top of this - Tyron and his lovely crew are pushing out big updates that make the worlds most popular voxel game developers seem irredeemably incompetent.

Vintage story is not the future of what video games can be - but it's a damn sight closer than we've ever been.

I don't like Minecraft.

But this. This is good.

AWW SUPER BEAUTIFUL GRAPHICS

i want play vintage story !!

thank you !!!

I dont know how exactly i found that game.. .but i love it!

Игра очень понравилась, жалко что раньше не купил её, хотя знал о ней.
Играю вот уже больше недели, и не пожалел, что приобрёл её, долго хотел поиграть в такую выживалку и поиграть с друзьями, рекомендую!

Is good, hard to make friends purchase.

I was reading a book titled "The Era of Vint" and my friend asked me if I was reading a Vint age Story and I was like "... say that again..."

I love this game, it really is a vintage story. Those who say that it's like minecraft should play the game, this is so much better than minecraft!

Awesome game. not much more to say! Just one thing. WHERES MY FUCKING CLAY OMG THIS IS SOOOO HARD TO FINNDDDDDD

It's like minecraft, if minecraft were an entirely different game and not like minecraft at all

una joyita de gameplay 

I have had a ton of fun with the game so far and even made a few videos about it. Moreover, the developers just keep adding more to this detailed and vibrant experience - certainly recommended.

boyfriend is mad at me for getting him into it. #sorrynotsorry. love it 

I'm really enjoying this game, it's a grind - but an enjoyable one, the progression feels rewarding.
It's difficult at first, but once you get the hang of it everything really starts to stand out with just how good it is, a lot of small details & everything feels great together.

Definitely worth the buy, both the full game & supporter.

I haven't gotten COMPLETELY engrossed in a game in a long time. I can't stop playing Vintage Story. It's like playing old Minecraft all over again, only it runs better and looks better. If you like survival games and don't mind the block-y Minecraft-y look BUY THIS. The devs and community are super helpful and friendly. Plus the game was built with modding in mind. Be warned though: IT IS ADDICTING.

Great game!!!!! Looking forward for future updates!

Very fun game. Lots to do, and fun with friends. Looking forward to future updates!
