In one playthrough, I found an incoming giant that was trapped on the other side of a higher leveled area and was unable to pass despite continuing to walk on the spot. Considering this is a survival game that relies on exploration, it tends to force players to sacrifice thorough ventures through Midgard just so they can perform upkeep on the village before night brings a new attack. If I couldn’t reach an area by foot then I didn’t see it necessary to explore due to the effort required. Tribes of Midgard does offer ways to traverse the environment, though it requires crafting and building resources that can be quite long-winded to prepare so I rarely even bothered. Sure, it adds to the survival element of the game as it does force players to approach each campaign differently but it’s a tedious dance. While I’m not against a randomized environment I found that at times it would become more of a hindrance. While it does make every game different, it also means players must adapt to the map for every new game. It can often mean that objectives are not only tricky to locate but hard to reach if on top of or separated by obstacles such as higher ground or lakes. Many of the resources needed for crafting aren’t easy to come by due to the random generation.
Matching the random harshness of strangers on the internet, the procedurally generated world often can have quite a learning curve. Where the game shines is when you’re with a good lobby of players though of all the games I’ve played, only one has made it to the end of Saga Mode. Voice communication is reliable though as always it does remind me why I was always told not to talk to strangers.

This wouldn’t be an issue if one has 10 friends free to play it, but when loading into the matchmaking, one is paired with varied players that make the game seemingly harder to take on. I found playing solo favourable because souls were all mine for the taking. When playing solo there are more souls available but with how reliant the gameplay is on them the grind for them feels overly steep in either case.
When playing with others it feels like there’s even less souls to go around, potentially an unbalanced scaling system behind closed doors.
It’s so very easy to spend what few souls you have and grinding them back feels unforgiving. You will acquire souls by gathering resources, killing foes and completing short quests. Souls are the most common resource for the game and at the beginning one feels soul poor. Loading into a new campaign is a mixture of finding your footing in a new world and returning to the loot grind that the game functions upon.
