Valheim. I think the game needs to scale better when playing solo.
The meadow was a simple and chill starter level.
The forest was a lot harder, but still reasonable. I struggled with the boss, but I managed.
There was a plains biome on my way to the swamp, and after checking it out I learned quickly that it’s not somewhere I should set foot again for like a million years. It took me quite a few tries (and boats) to get my stuff back.
The swamp was really hard, but I pulled through, mostly by simply avoiding those huge lumbering root-looking monsters. I had to cheese the boss by firing a million arrows from my boat where he couldn’t reach me.
I got insta-pasted while searching for silver in the mountains, and it’s pretty far from my main base, that’s where my body still rests. It’s been well over a year since I last launched the game.
It’s an incredibly great game, but having to gather all the metal for my gear from scratch is just so demotivating.
While the Plains and Mountains biomes were rough, Mistlands was my breaking point. Steep slopes with fog and fliers all at the same time killed my deaire for progress between not being able to see things and the difficulty of hitting things on slopes.
Unless they changed it in an update, the fighting mechanics are also a major hindrance. Last time I played you can’t hit stuff that isn’t on the same plane as you with any sort of accuracy. Love the game and have dropped hundreds of hours into it but every time my friends and I went in we got burnt out by the time we reached the plains.

But those early biomes are a blast!
