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.

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

[@Iamvengance191]

Hey bro, are you playing alone i need a freiend

[@hilmirorn6763]

It does elevate the experience alot but the extra grind for silver or iron is crazy. If you want to play with friends, I suggest only starting with 1

[@Minifliek]

​@@hilmirorn6763I dont think Iron or silver is that bad, they both mine decently quick and i need thousands of Iron anyway. Food is the real challenge IMO.

[@hilmirorn6763]

@@Minifliek Yeah. I guess the grind isn’t as bad as I made it sound like but the food is indeed the biggest bottleneck. If you ever stop looking for food and run out, you’re screwed. That’s at least what happened to my previous world with a friend, we just ran out.

My main account is almost done with Mistlands and I have another character where I play with some other friends. Only in the Black Forest atm. I wouldn’t stress too much about dying. It happens a lot when you go to new biomes. Maybe I’m just bad but as you progress you make up for the skill drain over time although it is annoying.

I would not call valheim a survival game because you cant die if you do not have food and stuff like that. It is more like a sandbox, exploration and progression type of game.

[@Btoast45]

I would disagree with you here, unless you believe that minecraft was not always a survival game. Early minecraft didn’t have a hunger bar, and you only ate food to heal hearts you lost.

[@17MrLeon]

Doesnt matter if eating is required to not die or just to have more health, important is that there is requirement to eat.

[@jerrythelobster7]

I love valheim so much but I hate it because it takes a shit ton of time and for a average working person it takes a lot of days/weeks to get something done.

[@Deavhrmordhau]

There's mods that speed up the grinding process/increase inventory size for less traveling around or just make ores teleportable so you can get more of the building and fighting experience while still gathering your own materials!

[@dillxn21]

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

[@NoblessObligee]

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.

I've played with mods that let you teleport ores but I think it ruins the immersion, since you barely sail at that point.

[@Criggeda]

Does this Werbebriefe become a game where you have to farm materials like a machine, or is it enjoyable without the need to endlessly farm wood etc?

[@Deavhrmordhau]

You have to farm a lot of everything, hunting for food, gathering wood and stone, ores for better equipment or killing enemies for materials for potions, you're farming something nonstop and I'm loving how diverse it is.

It's a game for sadists. The biomes represent hard walls you have to get over. Depending on the random ore placements you may have to go to half a dozen swamps to find ore. Too much of a grind just to have a deathsquito kill you.

@LeShawnDeWalrus the average playtime for the game is nearly 80 hours, one of the biggest memes in the community is the endless requirement for iron, what are you talking about?

[@qing7902]

@LeShawnDeWalrus iron comes in stacks of 30, you're saying you got 180 bits of scrap iron from a single crypt? at the absolute most you should get 2 stacks. don't even get me started on padded, you need to wait the equivalent of 1 hour loading flax to get it to grow, not to mention that you need to do that multiple times to get enough for multiple sets. and im guessing you haven't played the godawful update that was the mistlands? you need to find 9 sealbreaker fragments, which don't even have a guaranteed chance of spawning in an infested mine (which are one of the most rare types of dungeon) to even fight the final boss. when you do get to fight her she's scaled as badly as every other boss in the game. me and my friend spent literally over an hour fighting her. awful, drawn out and redundant game, not to mention the myriad of other issues
