About
Valheim is an open-world survival and exploration game set in a procedurally generated world inspired by Norse mythology. Playing alone or with up to nine other players, you explore dangerous biomes, gather resources, craft weapons and armour, build Viking settlements and longships, and battle powerful creatures and bosses in order to prove yourself worthy of Odin.
Progression is tied to exploration and defeating the Forsaken, with each biome introducing new enemies, resources, crafting possibilities and challenges. From the peaceful Meadows to the frozen Deep North, players can build, farm, sail, fight and explore the tenth world at their own pace.

- 9.0Review - Valheim is an easy recommendation to anyone looking for a new survival game, particularly if they can convince a friend to join for the ride.
- 8.0GREAT While Valheim hasn't quite solved the problems of Mistlands and Ashlands, the 1.0 release still manages to be the best version of the survival crafting game with an engaging core gameplay loop, dense atmosphere, and a beautiful and unique visual style.

Gamer reviews
Valheim
A great RPG game full of adventures and mysteries. With its survival sandbox gameplay mechanics you will surely be hooked and immersed on this viking themed adventure. It may be suffering from occasional bugs and glitches due to it being in early access but it still delivers impressive content we know still has a great potential to grow. Best to play it together with friends.
One of my favourite games of all time - bar non!
Villhem's magic is its atmosphere... but also, its base building. and yet again the boss battles, but maybe I should focus on the multiplayer fun of exploring with a friend or two... that's the magic of this game- there are so many beautiful moments and ways to play. I have now over 200 hours in different Valheim worlds and each time I find something new... fun, engaging, scary or just plain beautiful. There is a vibrant mod community too that have (and continue) to extended it in so many ways... HIGHLY RECOMENDED - it's a bargain!

Good game, very enjoyable when you play it with your friends. I wouldn't recommend it , when you're playing alone. Hype is over now. I already finished the game. **There's no more interesting activity.** Only waiting for new biome update. I will give proper review once I play again with the new biome update.

i hate deathsquitos. 8/10.
I was never into survival games that much but this one's an exception. Its crafting and survival aren't as restricting compared to other games in the genre, there's no constant nagging about hunger and other statuses which impedes progress. **Valheim** stands out from other survival games because it takes out those tedious survival systems. It never felt grindy to me, it's just pure fun. It's very chill, and even death is forgiving. Even though it's still in Early Access, I've invested some 90+ hours into this game within a week of playing. It feels polished enough to be a stable release. Props to the dev team for that, they only have 5 people working on it and they nailed it! Overall, it's a very good game. From the crafting and building system, to the bosses, to the survival mechanics and more, it's definitely going to keep you hooked for hours on end. Highly recommended. :+1: Also, [the game looks gorgeous!]( https://streamable.com/86poru) :star\_struck:
