It has been quite a while since a survival/crafting game has completely sucked me in like this. Valheim is a game that does every part of the genre well which comes together and makes a game that is better than most of its ilk. The terrain generation is second to none where the world feels so alive and realistic. The weather effects are superb and the tree felling is top notch. The combat is good for the genre but definitely nowhere compared to a proper third person combat oriented game. All the elements of the game are very immersive and it is easy to lose days on end inside Valheim's expertly crafted world. Exploring the world and clearing dungeons with a buddy is so damn fun we are having an absolute blast. Another stand out feature is the deep modding support coupled with a dedicated community affords endless QoL improvements and extended game-play features. So far every time we have come up against a mechanic that isn't fleshed out enough or is too time consuming and tedious there has been a perfect mod which tweaks the mechanic just enough to make it exactly what it should be in out minds. Pretty much every aspect can tweaked and made to cater to our ideas of how things should be. The building is also a superbly well done aspect of the game while at first glance it seems quite basic but once you get a hold of how it works it is actually extremely intuitive and satisfying to make pretty much any structure one could want. Also, adding a couple mods extends the building pieces available and really opens up opportunities. Really, this game is something special and the devs should be proud of their work which has inspired an amazing and dedicated community. I could go on and on about the game but at this point if you are interested you should pick it up no matter if there is a sale or not as it is priced aggressively and is worth every cent at full price. I just can't get enough tbh if we are being h.

If you like survival / crafting games this is one of the best and I am sure it has a long and vibrant future ahead.
