Vintage Story - Is It Better Than Minecraft? 

Whenever Vintage Story updates they tends to add quite a lot of new features. The most recent update was mostly a bug fix and optimization update but they still added a lot of new features like 11 species of goats a dear, thats 22 mobs total. New scroll racks, ambient noises and QOL features. The next update will feature the next major story location after the first (which was already massive) as well as new features that make traveling less burdensome i.e ridable mounts and boats.

Minecraft is basically a shallow proof of concept compared to what Vintage Story has become over the last several years.

Vintage Story - Is It Better Than Minecraft? Yes. Yes it is.

Personally, I find that VS's world engages me more than Minecraft's does. Maybe it's the more drawn out progression, maybe it's the heavier focus on the survival elements over the sandbox ones, the way that much of the crafting is actually done by the player's own hands rather than in the crafting grid. Minecraft is still a great game, but I find that once I've gotten Iron tools and a basic farm up and running I don't really have much else I want to do. Sure I could build some cool structures, but no one else is ever going to see them so what's the point? So I end up getting bored and leaving the game to collect dust. Personally, I think that Minecraft and VS both fill different niches. Minecraft is all about the sandbox part of 'survival sandbox', it's a canvas to let your imagination go and build cool stuff. Vintage story on the other hand, leans more into the survival elements. And this is the part of the game that actively engages me more than Mincraft's sandbox style gameplay

WE LOVE VINTAGE STORY POSTING!!!!!!!!

Ever heard of the “terrafirmacraft” modpack? Seems like this is very similar.

Its the customizability that made Vintage story for me. and i am not talking about the one click install mods (altho i use knapster because my nerves are made of spaghettios for me to knap at a decent pace) but its literal, vanilla, customize button when picking playstyle. just the fact i could define mob nerve, food spoilage rate and hunger accumilation rates, ore density calculations, how hilly/ flat the world would be, how high the sea level is, turn seasons off or on, make the game spawn me in either wetlands, jungle, desert or tundra, modify block gravity to where not only sand and gravel falls, and so does soil, but also cracked rock, also give these blocks sideways instability so they can fall adjacent from there current position, and to modify whether i want realistic distribution of biomes or minecraft-style. can you do all that shit in minecraft? i mean yeah, for **sure**, it just probably takes a minimum of 3 mods, an outside tool to patch them in, and hitting the play button at the correct quantum state of the universe.

I like it more then minecraft due to the difficulty. I have speedrun minecraft in about an hour which isnt great but hey but in vs thats just not happening

The game’s story is being revealed slowly as the game develops. Updates have a purpose and always improve game balance in some way, while adding new features. The game doesn’t lag just because you’re in a jungle. The mechanical side of the game is great fun and very very different from MC. Like exploring? The map is 1million x 1 million across with incredible variety of landscapes and climates, with much to discover. you can open two or five, or ten chests at once and drag items between them. You can eat a polar bear. You can customize your world to an incredible degree. Give it a try!

If you haven't tried this game yet I highly recommend trying it you can have it set to many different ways of playing you can just enjoy building or you can enjoy the survival or something in between very very fun game I like it more than Minecraft and I've played Minecraft for many years

This game seems like it would be a challenge, love it!

Resources are less dense then Minecraft. Going on multiday expeditions to explore to find resources is practically guaranteed. This is not a casual game.

Yes... yes it is

I know I've been enjoying it and enjoying making videos of the playthrough as well! Overall this is a pretty fair review, I'd say!

love this game.. host a server 24/7 for 3 youtubers (one server for all 3 of their discords.. a fair amount of mods.. including the skills one. Playing it since it came out. There is sort of an "end game" the resonance archive. lots of great mods out there .. lots of stupid mods.. (stupid being ones that you can already fully do in the game.. but no have to have a mod to make mobs not aggressive.) very good game for the money.

Its the best yes. Maybe best game ever to me.

Not sure what you're talking about when you say different necklaces give different boosts. That slot is purely cosmetic.

For a game as generally survival oriented as VS, skill trees seem rather weird. Rather than limit yourself to a skill tree, just go based on learned skill instead, work with what you have to passively improve things, or learn how to work things faster yourself. So for your point of skill trees, I feel it just doesn't suit the playstyle of VS. imo at least

I wish it was on steam...

they largest part of vintage story is, its not for kids. kids want instant action with minimal step to step. my son hates vintage story and cant focus on the basics.

braw Vintage Story has a mini boss

looks like it's minecraft + dont starve it came out 8 years ago and still doesn't have an end game. i thought the game would be mature by now. it's a bit disappointing. combat is another disappointment. lack of weapons and mob. i still cant find a game like terraria + minecraft

I was bored with MC then started to play VS, and then I got back into mc again hahaha. That's my story about Vintage story. It had things I liked better, but inv space was one I couldn't look over and even though in mc there isn't enough of it, with mods I am back in mc again with more storage. Just to note I played VS for few seasons and have a nicely build big home, garden and small ranch. Not struggling any more but not brave enough to go explore and lose it all because I'm bored.

Don't get me wrong it's a cool game, but it's Terrafirmacraft in denial. TF fans will love this, and it's 100% better then TF, but if we talk TF modpacks - that's a difficult comparison. I'd say VS modded is better then most TF modpacks, but worse then high-end TF+Greg packs.

It's "meh". It's not BAD but leaves alot to be desired. Exploring underground is terrible with the world gen. It's not easily transferable like Minecraft. Huge deep ravines, cave ins, etc. Crafting is mediocre. Alot and I mean ALOT of hoops to jump through to craft anything from clothing, to blacksmithing, to brewing. The hunger system could use a complete overhaul as you'll spend alot of time trying to keep it up. They should change the game's name to Hunger Simulator Story. The classes are a dumpster fire. It only really is tolerable if you play multiplayer with lots of other players then everyone can choose something different and cover/makeup for the HUGE penalties included with every class(excluding the base class). Solo it's simply and utterly NOT worth choosing any of the other classes unless you want an already tedious game more so. The game has an interesting premise but falls flat on it's face in most of the things it's trying to do. It's just simply excruciatingly difficult and unforgiving for no real reason except "game go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" I might come back to it after letting the developer cook for a few years since, to be fair, it's still a WIP.

NO vintage story is NOT better than minecraft, its not the same thing, it came from same concept BUT vintage came from minecraft... it was another haytale that actually came alive not like haytale XD.

nah, it's bad

I really love this game, and after hundreds of hours of playing it with many more planned in the future, I would say that in my opinion it is indeed better than Minecraft. I really love the immersion that the game's atmosphere creates, it really feels like the world is alive. Also chiselling. Chiselling my beloved. I don't think I could ever return to Minecraft after experiencing chiselling. There's also really unique lore and in-universe character customisation. Oh, and performance. This game has devs who actually care about optimisation. Playing Minecraft after playing Vintage Story feels so slow and clunky. This game is basically what I always wanted Minecraft to be like, and I am really glad that the devs are super passionate about it. :) While I understand opinions can differ and some people prefer Minecraft, for me Vintage Story is the best survival sandbox game out there!
