I luckily have a partner who likes to build the base while I gather materials for upgrades. We both enjoy the survival crafting gameplay loop though
Lol that's exactly how we are. I don't hate building bases but she loves doing the little finicky stuff to make it really awesome. I tend to be too practical for my own good at times.
It makes a very good team though. I love supporting her creative vision.
It's honestly hard to find games to play together because I'm a big nerd who wants to rush to get the best gear before having any fun and in most games that means i have to basically leave my wife behind which isn't fun for either of us.
These games i can be survival she can be crafting.
Yeah i tried to be like "i'll be a lumberjack and just bring you stuff" but she still gets bored. It doesn't help that resource collection in valheim is realllllllly slow especially if you're building anything big
We're probably going to do a second playthrough of Abiotic Factor sometime this summer though when they release their DLC. We both had a lot of fun with that, having a plot quest to progress through helped keep her attention
It's honestly me who is the difficult one to play games with. If I'm forced to play at the pace of a storyline or follow a quest before i can do anything freeform I'm so annoying trying to skip cutscenes and such
