This is "basically" that-block-game, but it's taking itself fully seriously. If you like that-block-game but want something different and more serious, Vintage Story is likely what you'll like. The main selling point is the wilderness survival aspect, and you won't be disappointed if that's something you like.

Pros: Literally everything listed on the site (the features). Serious wilderness survival that is realistic. Mods can expand the existing systems greatly. Mods rarely break.

Cons: A little grindy and tedious in some ways, but far less than that-block-game-everyone-knows-about when compared. The performance is sketchy, and requires you to host a local server to get the most out of your system (though I'm sure that will be changed/fixed eventually).

Big things are on the horizon for this game. I already got well over 100 hours, and they're not even close to done yet. 

If you're a survival fan, and a minecraft fan (even though it is widely different from minecraft). This is a MUST buy!

Good job team, keep up the great work and thank you for making this masterpiece. 

Wow...I started playing minecraft when it first came out when I was younger, like 12, 13.

This is exactly what minecraft could have been. It blows it out of the water. Its so much fun. So in depth, so much to do!

Don't hesitate to buy this game. Theres only more awesome stuff coming!!

If you enjoy minecraft this will change everything for you.  I am amazed and sad that it took so long for me to find this game... I can never go back to such a limiting block game like minecraft again.  Vintage story is now my home. Just wish more people knew about it because it would 100% blow up!

If you're getting bored of playing minecraft for the past, like, 15 years, this is the best thing that could happen to you. I stumbled upon a video of "The Show" that talked about this, thinking it was a simple modpack for MC. But it's so much more than that. It has a satisfying learning curve, and rewards you in a lot of ways for trying new things. Harder than MC, but the ammount of content makes it that after playing for 50+ hours in a default world, I haven't grown bored yet. I'm so glad I found this game, and if you're hesitant about buying this, if you have the means, go support the devs and treat yourself with a copy of the game.

Wonderful game, congrats to the team, love ya !

Отличная атмосфера, графическая составляющая выше всяких похвал, тот кто рисовал текстуры и писал код для партиклов настоящие асы! Много уникальных механик. Если вы играли в террафирма, то это вам точно понравится. Желаю разработчикам творческих успехов и побольше сил и желания сделать свою игру лучше!  Мне хочется что бы каждый кто хочет поиграть в это, купил игру и помог разработчикам, пусть для многих это кажется высокой ценой.

Действительно классная игра. Заслуживает внимания не смотря на многие небольшие неприятности.
Одним из недостатков - это то,что мои друзья не особо хотят тратить 1080 рублей на игру, а играть в одиночку достаточно скучновато и сложно. Русское комъюнити хоть и есть, но мало кто хочет играть (почему-то все забили я хз).
Мне игра нравится, обновления очень частые и интересные. За ними просто интересно наблюдать) Вот жду 1.12 с невероятными погодными условиями которые сделают и без того атмосферную игру еще атмосферней! 
Из главных минусов игры отмечу (по мимо того что мне не с кем играть по сети) : Это отсутствие возможности (надеюсь на данный момент) создовать своего уникального (внешне) персонажа. Я просто очень люблю делать для себя уникального персонажа. Но надеюсь это исправят либо сам Тайрон либо мододелы <з
Я считаю что у этой игры есть будущее, не смотря на то, что она не особо популярна на данный момент. Но ее день точно настанет!

Единственный "конкурент" для этой игры это Hytale. Но Hytale все еще в разработке и у vintagestory есть еще около года и то может и двух что бы составить конкуренцию) Да, игры разные, но все таки, это просто мое мнение.

BEWARE!! This game is really tough and has a lot going on so dont expect a minecraft clone.

This is one of the hardest survival games I have played to date. Games like DayZ arent that hard when you dont have to deal with a bunch of poorly designed mechanics. This game however has really fun mechanics that are fairly easy to use but the game is 100% out to get you. Once you get a hold on the crafting and try playing on some servers you wont want to stop.

I've played countless games over the years, but this one truly stands out as a masterpiece. The developers have created a uniquely engaging experience that sets a new standard for what high-quality gameplay should be. The game mechanics are refreshingly original, seamlessly blending familiar elements with innovative twists that make every moment feel fresh and exciting. It’s clear a lot of thought went into every aspect of the design.

The gameplay is exceptionally polished, with smooth controls and a level of detail that’s hard to come by in most games. The pacing feels perfect, whether you’re diving into intense action sequences or taking time to explore the world. Every mechanic feels purposeful, adding depth to the experience while keeping it accessible for players of all skill levels.

It's rare to find a game that strikes such a perfect balance between challenge and fun. This one manages to keep me coming back, not just because it’s addictive, but because it consistently surprises me with its depth and creativity. It’s a game that will stick with me for a long time, and one I can’t recommend highly enough to anyone looking for a truly exceptional gaming experience.

Loving this game.

That would accurately summarise my experience with this game.

Although I must highlight the amazing Linux support this game has. It even provides a flatpak.

Give the game a try!

Nice game, many creative tools, many cool mechanics, fast and optimized engine.

I've been looking for a modern replacement for Minecraft with Terrafirma craft or SevTech mods.. Finally found it in Vintage story.  and it looks Glorious plays well and is similary but better than those two mods in Minecraft, and its modable to boot. Written in C# and uses OpenGL and .Json files . currently still in early access and is extremely playable already. It has a great community with active forums, discord server and great tutorials on Youtube and Twitch , Having a great time playing and exploring Vintage Story and highly recommend it to others who love this type of game.

I discovered Vintage Story a few years ago, and I haven't touched Minecraft since. It's definitely the best survival game I've ever played. All the mechanics are extremely well thought-out, and the game runs very smoothly despite still being in early access. The developers are incredibly talented and passionate, consistently delivering content of higher quality than that of multi-million-dollar companies. It's truly a phenomenon on a global scale.

What I love about Vintage Story.

First it´s indie. And before you say, yeah but looks like another boring Minecraft clone. It´s not!
Sure you can place blocks like in Minecraft and you have a crafting system, but this game goes a little further. The crafting system feels more “realistic” and resources feel more valuable. Of course it has still some issues in this phase of development, like spawning under water. But I´m sure they are going to fix things like that. The world feels very natural and alive with all those animals and swinging leaves. When you want a knife you even have to chisel your blade, which is pretty neat. And you cannot carry really much before having a basket or later a backpack. All together it feels very alive and natural. I like that. (Especially the textures)

What are cool features I noticed so far?

Weather effects like fog, wind and of course rain.
It´s more challenging than Minecraft.
Light is far more important, because the night gets really dark.
You need to preserve food.
You can find ruins and NPC´s with little houses. (you cannot grief them, which I find cool)
Many world options, like temperature resistance or even building height. (building height has an effect on chunk loading)

What I don´t like at the moment:

the clouds look still a bit odd.
it´s sometimes hard to understand how things work. (but that could be me)

Conclusion: If you liked Minecraft but felt like it could be more realistic or just better, with more features, without installing endless mods. You need try Vintage Story!

Makes me feel the way Minecraft made me feel so long ago

This is singlehandedly the best game I have ever touched. So good it cursed me by raising my expectations of newer triple a games.

So not sure how I never heard of this game but I'm glade I stumbled upon it. First I love survival games especially mining and digging and building, I was hesitant to buy because of the other block game and this looking similar, and this is miles different then that game. There are few games that make you actually time travel and want to keep playing and this game will have you going to bed planning what to do your next play session. This game has so many awesome things that sets it apart from other games the feeling of accomplishment is deep and well thought out . Things like smithing, kapping and clay forming are just genius other crafting games should take note . I could go on and on I have a feeling this game will absolutely explode in the future and at my age 45 years of gaming this one is at the top .

very interesting game

On first glance I was hesitant, and now i've sunk 20 hours in a week. There's this therapeutic, relaxing feel to the game that just melts my sense of time passing. Truly a hidden gem

Saw this game for the first time on tiktok and then I immediately bought the game.

I have played for 7 hours and its already my favorite.

If someone told me that all games would be eliminated and I had to choose one to play for my entire life, that game would be this one.

I think I don't need to explain more but, this game have alllllll the things a game needs: Building, Crafting, Farming, Exploring, Combat.... EVERYTHING.

Oh and, if you want something new, just make a mod, it's 100% based on the mod API so... it's relatively easy to mod.

You have a potato pc? You can play it!
You have Linux or Mac? You can play it!
You want to play with friends? Hohoho, make a server lol

Resume: This game is a 12 out of 10, it's perfect.

Just insanely cool, deep, and rewarding survival experience start to finish. The game is also VERY stable as far as PC games go. You'll start looking for rocks to make your first knife and finish carving a temple out of a mountain before plunging into the depths to uncover secrets of the caves below. ... Be sure to be patient when ordering - it's real people answering the emails and handing out the codes, so it might not be as instantaneous as we are used to with other virtual purchases. 

If you are reading reviews you need to just BUY THE GAME you will NOT be disappointed!

...Regarding multiplayer in a game this deep: Fair warning, unless you plan to have friends start with you on your own dedicated server - chances are that you will not be able to "cooperate" very much with others. Sure you can trade, and chat, and little favors here and there for each other are nice and all... but as far as meeting people and tackling challenges together - I've found that MANY different kinds of people play this game, of all ages, and it makes for a bit of a random and accordingly less wholesome experience. This game is best played with others, but many of the public servers and such are just heavily on their own way about everything - and most simply don't care if you are there or not - since they CAN'T care in some ways anyhow, being that it's THEIR project and it's a videogame, so people will come and go and never be seen again, many of them. I joined a handful of discords and servers, and there aren't anyone in the voice channels, if there are - it's a building game - so everyone is just heavily on their own grind. It's just part of life with multiplayer in a sandbox game like this.

So, just a heads up. I kind of hoped I would find some friends in this game but that didn't happen, and at this point I don't really play - because I really need that multiplayer feeling ... I hope at some point I can meet some normal folks like me who want to cooperate and play together - but you can't fake the funk as they say, not everyone will be good friends just because they play the same video games! 

Not great at reviews, but this is a great game, it's very fun, it's very beautiful, sometime it's straight bullshit, but it's usually very nice. I'm 100% confident, that Vintage Story has been the best 20 euro I have spent on game. So if you like survival games, or sandbox games, or voxel games in general, try out Vintage story.

Vintage Story is a mind-blowing survival game that takes blocky worlds to the next level.
The custom game engine and shaders create a visual masterpiece, bringing the voxel world to life with stunning realism. But what really hooked me was the mysterious lore. Uncovering clues about ancient civilizations while mastering primitive skills is addictive. The deep crafting system and intense survival mechanics keep things challenging. It's a must-play for anyone into survival games with depth and atmosphere.
Solid 10/10.

New favorite game, keep up the great work!
