Valheim (Early Access) – Craft, Build, and Explore a Huge Viking World in this Pretty MMORPG

Game Review

Valheim is an awesome game where you explore a huge fantasy world immersed in Norse mythology and Viking culture.

The game has you starting off as a character in a small village. You’re then completely free to explore the procedurally-generated world with multiple biomes. The farther from the center you go, the more difficult the game becomes. You’ll find new enemies and monsters that become more dangerous, but at the same time, you’ll find newer materials that are rare which can be used to craft some gem weapons and sturdier armor. It’s like Minecraft in a Viking world.

You can explore, craft, hunt, and even build your stronghold and outposts anywhere you want in the world to mark your journey. The game even has some longships you can build which will allow you to sail the oceans!

Valheim is an RPG all about exploring. The game has a fully-featured combat system with block, doge, and a variety of weapons and combat styles. You can cut trees, mine for minerals, build bases, portals, outposts, craft armors, weapons, and hunt down powerful enemies. And the game even has online multiplayer, so the possibilities are endless. Though I didn’t test the client-server feature, I’d imagine it’d be pretty cool to explore with friends and establish a base together.

The game already has a ton of content for a demo and will keep you busy for hours. The graphics are very polished already and the game’s generated levels are awesome. The worlds are unique and different for every playthrough and I wasted hours just wandering int he pretty biomes. Valheim has a lot going for it. If you like RPGs, try it out.
