That being one of braving the brute force of nature. The player feels immersed in their progression, with all their tech feeling grounded in an easily digestible aesthetic. They’ll have wide pastures and large plantations. Nearing the end of the tech tree, players have a windmill which they can attach to millstones and auto smithing-hammer systems. The player will start out, crouched over a campfire and fending off any drifters that prowl nearby. Vintage Story presents a clear objective, while still leaving room for player creativity. But not all players have the skill, dedication, or knowledge needed to achieve that. With Minecraft, you’re encouraged to create your own aesthetic. Minecraft like gaming experienceīeing immersed in a specific theme goes miles in creating a valuable gaming experience. These implementations create a deep well of immersion for the player. You have to cast metals into their shapes with clay molds. Making tools requires the player to manually carve the material into its shape, using similarly realistic systems for all levels of tool technology. I found crafting in particular to be surprisingly endearing. Tech trees can’t be rushed through to get end-game equipment within the first few hours. Injuries are far more dangerous, with healing taking much longer. Being able to find food and quality nutrition is a real worry for the player. The visual aesthetic is rougher and more detailed. Everything about Vintage Story has been built to emphasize the atmosphere of a survival experience. Minecraft, though it claims to be one, is far too tame to be believable.
