Valheim - 60 second game review

Valheim is a co-operative solo or multiplayer survival game set in a game world between real life and Valhalla.

You take control of your customized viking in 3rd person, and are required to explore, gather and build as you discover the world around you.

There are multiple biomes, resources and monsters to encounter, each harder than the last.

Progression in the game is gated behind killing bosses, each granting an item that will allow you to advance in the next biome.

Each action increase your skills, allowing you to do more each level.

The games style is open world free form allowing you to really play your way, but there is enough incentive to follow a logical path of progression.

Its a combination of the brutal difficulty of a dark souls game with the building mechanics from rust and the world generation and openness from Minecraft.

This game is the first of hopefully many from Iron Gate AB studios in Sweden, under coffee stain publishing.

What really sold it to me was the smoke mechanics
You have to have chimneys or you will smoke yourself to death

i actually dont think i've ever played a game with such a streamlined and forced progression like Valheim while also keeping it consistent and fun over multiple playthroughs

I've been treating this game like minecraft, they give you so much freedom to build / destroy things with little to no restrictions, I love it.

I’ve logged over 500 hours into this game; love it to death! I mostly play it solo (and have played a single session in a group of 5, which was really fun), but I dream of playing it with nine other players one day.

After over 4 playtroughs i can only recommend this game

I love the game but it gets lonely on my solo playthrough. I genuinely think having a friend elevates the experience a lot

[truskll]

One of the most memorable games of the last 10 years easily

My sister and I just took a break from Minecraft. We achieved everything we wanted till now. We've been struggling to find another game we both enjoy. But I think this might just be it.

Close to 1000th hour. Still lovin it. I mean LOVIN it.

Don't forget the building system is excellent and a lot of fun. What a good game. I forgot completely that it was early access.

I want a game just like this but a little more centered in reality. Based in the Viking age like this but actually on earth. No magic or giant beasts. Just real life threats like raiding, war, even nature. You could start as a simple farmer or something and work your way up to becoming Earl. That's my dream video game

The building mechanics are 👌 chef's kiss

So, with 3x(the max on console) resource increase, some duplication and dozens of hours just exploring areas with a guide map of sorts for the vendors and bosses. I've only killed two and I'm 65 hours in, can't properly progress without Bonemass boss and the wishbone. That's taken me 15 hours to prep for and find the needed items and craft/smelt the resources needed to beat the boss hopefully within 20 minutes. Easily 400+ hours can be sunk into this game and most of it is learn yourself as you go and you NEED TO EXPLORE BIOMES to do that and that's hours and hours alone just doing that. The game is great and enjoyable for a long many hundreds of hours. Hats of to the Devs and studio that made it.

One of the best games I've ever played. Did a solo run recently (only to mistlands as Ashland's wasn't out yet). Playing with friends is great, and it makes the boss fights a lot easier, but solo run is so much fun. 10/10 game.

[BlueDuck]

I'd give it a 10/10 I've sunk 60 hours into this over the last 2 weeks, brilliant game I bought it a year ago but never played it till now and it is amazing, the grinding the dying. Just having a goal to defeat the bosses and keep upgrading is great!

[shmootube]

this game is the greatest 20 bucks you can spend on a video game ever. challenging and immersive.and the devs just release updates. like for free. no micro transactions no subscription.

[omgeirik]

Valheim is the best Survival game out there! Insane that I didn’t hear about it before now

[Jonali-V]

The best game i have played. Almost 600 hours in, third play through and still not bored. Building, exploring, and progressing in the game is so awesome. I recommend 10/10

[Snowxiv_]

My comment is a little late, this is by far the greatest sandbox survival I’ve ever played. The immersion is so great sometimes time travel that hours feel like minutes. I have about 400 hrs in and im on my second run trying to get to the ashlands.
