재미있다.
제가 한 게림 중 TOP 1 입니다. 사람마다 다르지만 조금 어려운? 쉬운? 게임일 수도 있지만 추천하고 싶은 게임 입니다. 보스를 못 잡다가 잡으면 쾌감이 느껴집니다,
I originally started playing Core Keeper a few years ago though I didn't make too much progress at the time. Fast forward to 2026 and I restarted my progress with hopes to actually make a dent in the game. Oh boy was I hooked by the charm, self-discovery, and atmosphere of the game! If Terraria, Minecraft, and Valheim had a child, Core Keeper would be its offspring. The game is full of surprises and challenges that even a seasoned gamer like myself was struggling on. This caused me to slow down my progression with the game.. that is until I introduced it to my not-to-gamer fiancée who started her own world and was immediately sucked into the game. Next thing you know, I'm moving my materials and items over to her world and we're building our Core base together in holy matrimony lol We had an absolutely blast exploring together and splitting off - divide and conquer style. So many laughs and memories throughout our combined 100 hours logged into the game. 1 by 1, the bosses fell and achievements were obtained. We 100% the game a few weeks ago and now there's a big hole in our gamer hearts. Core Keeper truly has a lot of magic to give and we enjoyed every minute of it. We look forward to any updates this game has in the works. I, personally, recommend this game to anyone looking for an adventure. The music is top notch. The bleeps and bloops of the sfx tickle my brain in the best way. The game oozes charm that old and new gamers will appreciate. My fiancée and I will remember the moments playing Core Keeper fondly! Thank you Pugstorm!
I enjoy
