An incredible game
The closest thing to stone-age/early history survival that I've experienced in a video game.
Unlike what some may say, the game is not hard for the sake of being hard. You'll have to adapt to what you find in the world, yes, but every victory will be earned, and you'll be surprised how many things make sense.

Unlike Minecraft, where you might find yourself losing interest after a certain level of progression, there's something about the un-rushed, longer day-night cycles that allows you to become more invested in the world. It feels much more like nature.
Highly recommended, reminds me of the channel 'primitive technology' on YouTube

I get absolutey fucking blasted before playiong and this game just takes the cvake for the best gvmae

I bought this game because i saw someone building a clay pot by hand and thought it was a minecraft mod. Vintage Story is everything i have ever wanted out of MC and then some. it has amazing vibes. After spending about 25 real life hours in a solo world, making it to the mid copper age I am in LOVE! Vintage Story has seated itself firmly in my voxel-shaped heart. i cannot wait to see where this game goes.

if you like hardcore survival, wanted more detail out of RLcraft, or if you just want a REALLY REALL REALLY GOOD SURVIVAL GAME. Play Vintage Story!

Absolute cinema, you can't love this game enough!

I've spent a lot of my childhood in Minecraft and grew up enjoying most sandbox survival games. But as time went on, I was more and more bored of Minecraft, even if tried to return there for nostalgia. I grew out of it, but my obsession with the looks of it and overall gameplay kept me wanting to play again, but feeling disappointed afterwards.

At some point I've found Vintage Story and my first experience was horrible, because of how I was not prepared for the challenges of the game. I was straight up eaten by a wolf as soon as I went to nearby woods. Me and my husband played it for a while and I got too tired of the game and left it, thinking that it was too intense for me.

Later on we picked up the game again and after that time me and my husband were sucked in. Vintage Story made me achieve the level of fun I wanted to have with Minecraft as an adult. I feel like a kid exploring this game as I did in my childhood with Minecraft.

The amount of immersion Vintage Story is offering is stunning. This is now my favorite game of all-time and I can't way to see how this game will turn out in the future!

Massacred local wolf population, would do it again 10/10

very detailed, in depth survival experience! 

For sure takes some time to learn though.

i think this game is realy good it has a compelling story and alot of things you can do i love to see this game grow and inprove i would recomend you try it and play it

An experience like no other. I remember many years ago discovering TFC for minecraft and falling in love with it but it remained static and always felt incomplete. a year or so ago I discovered vintage story, it captured that lightning in a bottle that was TFC and harnessed its potential to a greater extent.

Vintage story encapsulates a lot of things I like about games in general. for starters there is the freedom. you can do whatever you feel and you're never forced in one direction or the other. you can progress at your own pace but vintage story is incredibly rewarding when you do put in the hours, and your work always shows in your environment. I also adore the horror and story elements. reminds be a lot of silent hill which is another game I adore and it encapsulates those same feelings that silent hill evoked in a sandbox survival game which is so cool.

Vintage story is hard, its beautiful and its a lot of fun. the best part of all is its being made a by a team who understand quality and understand the player. you can feel that love and care in every fibre of the game. so what are you waiting for? there is a world to explore!

I was very sceptical about the game but after a while i started to love it.

Keep up that good work!

I had some doubts at first, but the second I got playing. Just wow. I'm amazed by the features this game has. Survival is not easy, the building is fantastic and the game looks and feels spectacular. Also, If there is a feature in the game that you think should be there is a huge array of mods that bring things like; thirst or custom world generation to the game.

comprei o jogo, porém, ele trava muito e não consigo jogar e para piorar, ele  fecha

Got this game 4 days ago and I love it at first your going to struggle but it gets better overtime would recomend.

Kniffliges Survival Pixel Abenteuer. sehr zu empfehlen

It's ok... it's not perfect 5 stars but it's also not bad.

The whole game account setup is annoying, I'd pay the 30% Steam takes if I never had to jump through hoops again!

The game is OK, main menu zooms in and out and you have to delete files to stop it. One of the very few games to give me motion sickness! So that was nice every time I wanted to start up game to play...

In game is nice looking, a lot of stuff isn't explained very well. Get ready to Alt Tab a lot or keep checking mobile. Found out after ages you can pan bony soil and find stuff! In game menu just says "So many bones", so that's a lot of help lol.

Knapping is a huge pain (literally) if you have bad wrists, luckily there is a mod to help called Knapster.

The main game has loads and loads of grind, if you ever played Wurm it's on the same level as that. I honestly find it too much.

So yeah it's "alright", I wouldn't say to people you got to play it, or avoid that! It's nothing special and just average

There is alot that can be improved in terms of gameplay, replayability and content, for this i knock 1 star off, i also knock one star because it needs better modding tools to make it easier to make more mods, after all we want to have our own flavor on it!

trashy game system, i'll login with the correct password/gmail, and it blocked my IP address. Cool.

Looks great, and id love to play, but..

 i bought the game on friday. Its monday now and support isnt answering but the money is withdrawn. I get its a small company, but sending a key should be easy.

Will write a proper review when i finally get access...

This game is an excercise in patience and frustration.

On one hand, i genuinely like and appreciate the dev's honest business practices and i did have a good bit of fun playing the game

On the other hand, its frustrating to play because interesting deep mechanics are separated by 10-20 hours of boring nothingness that barely counts as me doing anything.
I started my savefile, i played the game, took like 12 hours to find enough copper on the surface so that i could make my first pickaxe, turns out i also need a hammer otherwise i cant get more copper without spending an eternity looking for nuggets on the surface again, luckily i had enough for that, then i run out of food because it spoils really fast and regrows really slowly so a big vicinity of my hovel is completely barren of food 12 hours in and i just keep starving to death. Ok. Turns out i had to make a cellar which quarters the spoilage rate of food and cook meals because just basic foods you get from the environment dont stay in your satiation bar for long, and cooked meals stay for a fair bit.

Ok, attempt two, another ten hours of randomly wandering the world looking for enough copper to make a pickaxe and a hammer. I make a cellar and make food this time so i dont starve. Great. Then i start looking for tin to make bronze because i can only mine coal copper and stone with my copper pickaxe. 15 hours of podcast listening later, because the world is very boring and empty to wander in and i still dont have any tin but im seriously fed up with all the pointless time wasting. Also i lost my items because i died and they despawned after like 10 minutes. Amazing.

Ugh. I hate to be a dick, and i am still not sure if im going to ask for a refund, because i like the developer's honest work ethic, and the game was actually fun, when i had something to do, but i cant stand that time is running out, winter is coming, im not making any progress, and most importantly, i feel like my time is wasted with arbitrary bullshit.

I honestly feel ashamed for even writing this but i want people to know while this game is fun, and has an immense potential, it also has issues i havent seen many people mention.
Im probably going to be back in a couple updates to see how things changed.

Also i pirated the game, did the first save i gave up on, came back anyway, started a new playthrough and bought the game around the 15 hour mark into that second save, and realized that i cant even play my savefiles because every world, even if its singleplayer has characters, and my characters were tied to a fake UID, so when i bought the game, my legititimate UID wasnt recognized by the game and each of my two saves asked me to create a new character for that UID, because the original ones used the fake one made up by the cracked copy. So i had to keep playing the pirated version. I even tried to edit the config files to spoof the game into thinking im playing the original character but it didnt work. Asked on the subreddit and on discord and noone helped me change the old character's UID to my new one. Sigh.

38 hours in, second time im giving up. I hate doing this.

The games great. No notes. The server hosting is archaic. You claim to be doing soo fine financially, and use that as an excuse for not putting your game on steam. So I'm forced to either shill over 12 bucks a month, or use Upnp which sucks absolute nuts. 

[Edit: Dev response from Tyron, 11/5/2025]
There are 3rd party hosting providers for less than 12 bucks a month - https://wiki.vintagestory.at/List_of_server_hosting_providers
Hamachi should also work just fine to host a server. Our game does not ship with a launcher. Account setup is required only once if you do not log in elsewhere, as your local login session does not expire.

[Edit Brayg] Bro still think we use hamachi in the big 2025. Youre right about the launcher (obv you'd be right) that was my bad I hadn't relaunched the game until after i left the review. 

the game's aesthetics are very good, the gameplay is realistic and enjoyable, but there isn't that much to do after the main progression right now

Habe es bei you tube gesehen,finde es interessant,kann es leider nicht spielen,da ich keinen link bekommen habe um es zu aktivieren

Vintage story is an admirable technical achievement in diegetic game play with an engaging first two ages that are not only novel but also immersive. Unfortunately the game has to chase these high for the remainder of its length as tedium set in as the player is forced to fumble around to enter the copper age, block by having to restart the game because of the time waste the default generation is.

To start metal work you need to find 60 copper nuggets (for 2 different picks and a hammer) (which takes approximately 15+ copper zones depending on how rich the nugget spawn is) this task is so tedious and so annoying it becomes a filter for the player who is forced between looking at rocks for hours and hours on end or being gaslit into thinking they’re lagging in single player because panning may or may not have a random duration (but has a set sound effect which is shorter than the max panning duration), not to mention this too will be a task you have to sit for hours to even get the 20 nuggets needed for a single ingot.

Unfortunately metal is a key resource in progression for the remaining ages so this riga ma roll of looking for tiny rocks while avoiding heat seeking bears, wolves and inventory filling seems to be a load bearing part of the game.

And I don’t think ore procurement is the only issue. Wax, salt, flax and who knows what else is so dependant on world generation that it could save or loose the player tens of hours across a play through assuming they even know where to look.

Even food has this issue. Locating, Growing and hunting for food takes time both to collect and to replenish. worlds that have less food spawns due to unlucky biome distribution can and will lead to a lack of food on one world and another world having enough food to support a 12 course feast by day 3.

The player being forced into the world gen struggle funnel for every path of progression leads to the game feeling uncomfortably linear and made me feel as if I was marking off a checklist of chores lead me to felt burnt out on motivation to continue a play session or worse tempt me into deleting the world. I shouldn’t feel the urge to restart and re balance the game myself every time I’m inconvenienced, but sometimes I feel the game pushing me in this direction. and I'm basically cheating even though all I'm doing is trying to bypass bad world gen and a game that clearly lacks the checks and balances to make a worlds with consistent difficulty even when using the same world gen parameters.

TLDR: world gen too inconsistent leading to widely different difficulty experiences even when using the same settings, Combined with the need to constantly search for hyper specific, uncommon items in sometime comically large quantities leads to a frustrating experience.

Website sucks and the sign up process is terrible. you have to make two accounts. one for the website and one for the game itself.
