Valheim is a brutal exploration and survival game for 1-10 players set in a procedurally-generated world inspired by Norse mythology. Craft powerful weapons, construct longhouses, and slay mighty foes to prove yourself to Odin!

Explore a world shrouded in mystery. Discover distinct environments with unique enemies to battle, resources to gather and secrets to uncover! Be a viking, sail the open seas in search of lands unknown, and fight bloodthirsty monsters. Raise viking longhouses and build bases that offer reprieve from the dangers ahead. Customise buildings, both inside and out, with a detailed building system. Progress through building tiers to upgrade, expand and defend your base. Struggle to survive as you gather materials and craft weapons, armor, tools, ships, and defenses. Decorate your hearths and sharpen your blades, grow crops and vegetables, prepare food, brew meads and potions, and progress as you defeat more difficult bosses and discover new recipes and blueprints.

Good aesthetics, good map scaling, tough as hell. The keys to getting hooked on a game and having to look at the calendar instead of the clock to see what happened.

Incredible game, in every way. Incredible satisfaction during the building phase (even if it's a bit hard to understand the mechanism at the beginning of the game), balanced enemies, balanced bosses, and improvements that progress gradually as the game advances. There isn't a phase where you are "broken" compared to the game or vice-versa (mosquitoes aside). I recommend the experience, even more so now that 1.0 is out! Let me know
