Dear people at Iron Gate. I absolutely love your game and have spent many more hours than I would like to admit playing it. So would you Please use some of the small funds you made off of the millions of presales to hire some interns/modders to clean up your technical/design debt? You can only hide behind the "prerelease" tag for so long, and that time is well past. If you know that armor sets work better without a cape, why is the weakest armor set (the troll set) still the only one requires four items? Why are you giving us the ability to have fancy swimming trinkets, and fancy swimming potions, but we still can't dip our head under water to collect the nails sitting in a 6ft deep dock. You gave us a combat overhaul, but we still can't aim up or down, somehow making Spear and Atgeir the Worst weapons for fighting leaches when they should likely be the best. Every new craftable item you make adds to the never ending list of items in my crafting station that I can't search through and isn't organized in any logical way. You gave us new trinkets! So now with the sword, shield, bow, arrows, hammer, 4 armor items, 3 foods, mistlight, and now Trinket Literally half my inventory is filled with essential items because you refuse to incorporate extra equipment slots for those type of items. All of these could be addressed and likely corrected in under a month. If you hire the modders who have already implemented these systems, you could probably have it fixed in a week. Instead I assume you will continue to SLOWLY replicate these systems yourselves, much like you did with the Odin Bear mod. Which is fine. The new bear is beautiful, the armor set is neat, and I understand why you want to be the ones to implement new things into your game so that they meet your level of quality control, but the bear, the gear, and especially the meat, feel disconnected form the rest of the game. Why is Cooked Bear Meat the only recipe related to this cool new animal? Even wolves wont eat it's meat raw. How many years will we need to wait for you to correct that? I recently lured some new friends into playing with me, and they are having a blast, but it is exhausting explaining why these problems still exist after you have had half of a decade to address them. This game is wonderful, and expansive new biomes are great, but can you please spend some time cleaning it up!? P.S. - A Hildir setting that disables night spawns caused by late game bosses would be nice. It's hard to get new friends to play when they get murdered by Fuelings every night. P.S.S - Oh no! I am devastated to see people citing my review as a reason to Not get this game, and I am realizing that I may not have emphasized how Incredibly fun this game is. I stand by my review, but this game is Wonderful despite having some problems. In fact, part of why these things have not been fixed is because it's so easy to get emersed in this game and forget about the little things that need fixing. (That being said, I am a bit amused that not a single thing on this list was touched in the official release... womp womp..) PLAY THE GAME PEOPLE! IT'S GREAT!

After 1,100+ hours, I think I’m qualified to write a review. ;) Valheim isn’t for everyone. But for the people it is for, it is **exceptional.** "Co-op survival crafting meets fantasy RPG" could go wrong in so many ways. Valheim gets it right: - Deep but intuitive mechanics - Epic Viking atmosphere with a dash of epic Viking goofiness - The perfect balance of combat, exploration, building, and chilling - Progression that feels meaningful, never grindy - Procedural worlds that somehow never feel repetitive - Co-op that is cooperative ("Pass the eyescream, please"), not just fighting next to each other - Dying matters without being annoying (and is often hilarious) Some thoughts for newbies: - Bring lots of lumber. No, more. No, like, three times what you think you need, dude. - "Valhalla is over rated, let's just live in the meadows forever." - If the piece doesn't click, hold Shift and fudge it. - Getting feathers is everyone's job. - "Can you mark these blueberries on your map?" - If saying "a rested bonus" sounds too much like "arrested bonus", call it "a cozy bonus" instead. ("Co Bo!") - [Sailing] "I mean, how long can this island be?" (Three days later...) - "We're bound to find turnips at some point." (:|) - "... So, is the Bogwitch the same species as Greydwarves?" - Plant lots of onions. No, more. No, like, three times... (etc.) - "We're bound to find silver at some point." (:|) - Getting feathers is everyone's job. - "Let's just chill in the Merchant's bubble forever." - "Wait, where's the ship?" (:|) - "...Where are we storing Guck?" - "Moder wasn't bad, how bad can Yagluth be?" (YOU DIED) - "These ice blob bombs will work great against Yagluth." (EVERYONE DIED) - "You set your spawn point, right?" (:|) - Getting feathers is everyone's job. - "You brought stuff for the portal, right?" (:|) - Hanging trophies on your walls strikes fear in the hearts of your enemies. - "Wait, didn't we have two ships?" (:|) - Summon the skeletons BEFORE you use the Staff of Protection. - "Do you think the queen is going to be hard?" (EVERYONE DIED x1000) I don't want to give anything else away. Iron Gate, Coffee Stain: Thanks for the memories. And the questionable mead. To the rest of you: Go make legends.

Played this game with my partner a lot who recently passed. I have picked it back up and it's given me a lot of comfort in my grief to share a game with someone I love and memories of the times we played it. Can't wait for 1.0.

Valheim is a peaceful Viking survival game the same way drowning is a peaceful swimming activity. This is accidentally one of the best designed survival games ever made , which is frustrating because now every other game just looks lazy. [*]One of the best structured progressions in the genre [*]One of the cleanest and most addictive gameplay loops [*]Proof that simple systems layered properly beat bloated overdesigned trash every time The brilliance is sneaky. Nothing is complicated on its own — food, stamina, weather, building stability, sailing, enemy AI — all simple. But together? Suddenly you're running Nordic logistics while being emotionally abused by nature. You don’t notice the depth. You just notice that you’re cold, wet, underfed, overencumbered, hunted, and your house collapsed because realism. Nordic Suffering Tycoon features include: [*]Chop wood [*]Die to wood [*]Eat food [*]Still die [*]Craft armor [*]Die slower [*]Sail confidently [*]Sea serpent says absolutely not [*]Lose everything [*]Walk home across three countries barefoot like a disgraced mailman Game says " You feel rested. " Incorrect. I feel threatened by trees and judged by the wind. IMPORTANT: I heavily DO NOT recommend reading the wiki or looking up strategies. This game is meant to be explored, discovered, suffered through, and learned naturally. Spoilers strip the magic and reduce everything to a checklist. 10/10 game design. 0/10 mental stability.

I'm an older player. (in my seventies), but it was my sons who introduce me to the game. Though them have since moved on I continue to use Valheim on a regular basis. I mostly use the game for two things. Keeping my memory active, and for building things. I've built lots and lots of shelters of various kinds, and am continuing to improve the quality and techniques. To do so I pretty much operate with the development commands to make things easier for doing what I like best. I continue to learn how to protect the shelters and myself from the various enemies. I like the graphics which have improved since I first started. For real gamers, it offers some great challenges.
