Valheim is good even if you can't be on at the same time. Just slowly build out a world as you would in Minecraft and save the biome raids for when you can get the party together. It's flexible.
I opened this thread to see if anyone recommended Valheim, because what you said is exactly what my group does. We’re all dads with jobs and we play when we can, but we schedule 2-3 hour video call sessions to fight the bosses.
When it comes to Valheim, you need the help, too. Those bosses can be brutal.
Seconding Valheim. There's nothing quite like starting with a simple objective, getting it derailed by a deathsquito or something and now you and your besties are trying to Oceans 11 the stuff you lost out of a hostile biome that you sailed to from across the map.
They said they don't really play Minecraft anymore ;p
Yes, I know. The structure of Valheim is similar to Minecraft, in a way that would not be hard to pick up and play if you were already familiar with it. Plus, it's a great game. So I gave my recommendation :p
Have to host/rent a server though, unless the host is always on. Love Valheim, but we had a few server issues that forced us to move on
Valid. We usually set schedules like a D&D session though. Just need the host to be a good DM. Works better for us as opposed to a live server, in my case anyway.
