I picked up this game not too long after release after seeing a few people playing it on twitch and watching a few youtube videos which peeked my interest.

I won't sugar coat anything and just get straight to my thoughts on the game, this is also from the perspective of starting out on an official server and playing along with a friend.

1. The start of the games tutorial is pretty quick and simple yet the moment you enter the world and its your mission to find a space to place a castle heart and start build your home you will find it very difficult to do, if your late to one of the servers it means those that joined early have managed to plant themselves a place leaving you to run around like a headless chicken looking for whatever empty spaces are left.

The problem with this is that your forced to run into higher level mobbed areas getting your ass kicked a few times and burnt from the sun to a point you really start hating the game and your have yet to really start your adventure.

2. The Sun is a pain in the ass, yes your a vampire, yes its going to hurt you but when your set out on your way across the map and get into a big fight with a boss and are unfortunate to find cover while dodging around becomes pretty obnoxious, (you can change this in offline play if you wish)

3. After finally finding a place to setup camp and building a beautiful castle alongside my friend things were going well, the aesthetics are beautiful you literally feel like Dracula, the way you have different floor types to help boost performance of your crafting machines is great and everything is going well.

You head out on trecks with your friend to hunt down the bosses to unlock more for your castle and everything seems to be going wonderful, you even get use to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ sun burning your ass until....

One day you log back on to play your game and notice that your trapped in a small squared space with a door stopping you from leaving and as you look around everything around you as gone, some lovely neighbor as found a way to cheat on a PVE server and wipe your wonderful creation clean after some time of enjoying the game and seeing what was achieved so far after a rough start.

After this i started up an offline solo game, the game is beautiful, its fun farming materials and building yourself a luxurious home, the boss hunting is fun, I would highly recommend this game but not the online play, if your into PVP have at it, if your into PVE i would stay clear of online play, putting hours of work into creating something wonderful and having it taken from you will discourage you from touching V Rising.

But being able to experience this on my own as been wonderful.

If you chose to read this review and found it useful thank you, have a great day.
