Hello peeps!
Valheim, yes, i would say most immersive game what it comes to fantasy themed games at the moment.
And considering it is still EA, but then the best part:
Modding community has done awesome work to fill caps in current state.

Anyway, little bit about the game:

Since i like to make server before i even start the game, I did it with this too.

First login:
Game looks good, but oddly pixelated, maybe that is their intention, not sure.
Light effects are very nice and makes good fantasy immersion to it.
Starting to run all over, and collecting some stones and twigs for wood.
Crafting stone axe, nice, now i can shop some trees o/
Chopping tree........death by falling tree, R.I.P. Harald Udolf.
I wont give up so easily! Chopping tree......dodging rolling log nicely, gaining some jump skil, nice again.

Crafting hammer, and starting to build some kind of wooden cottage fast since night is coming and I'm guessing it mean more trouble than trees. Building fireplace too and lit it with wood.

Music changes to very bad promising style. Staying guard at the fireplace, and noticing those greyling monsters are afraid of the fire, that is cool little feature.

Finally i get balls to go to woods and look some trouble.
Trouble i find, its a Greyling Brute, with big hammer. I challenge it with my stone axe. It was a mistake...Death by Greyling Brute.

Second login:
After embarisment of last death, I collect much more resources, all kind of woods, herbs, food, loot...
So many items that my inventory is full all a time.

Progression is nice and slow, you open more recipes to craft and build by getting needed resources to them(recipes are unknown and hidden until that). Crafting like crazy new opened recipes...

I don't want to spoil more of the game content.

Valheim in current state is very stable, there is work with optimization still, but it runs great with my 3700X, 2060 RTX, 16GB and SSD.

Now I have public server at koomaluola.com, which was some work to be able to keep cheaters and griefers away.
But with mods it was possible. Server now uses around 70 mods, more content, anti-cheats, performance improvements you name it.
All this is possible with BepInEx plugin, which makes modding almost anything possible to the game.

I'm also using collection of HD graphics what makes game very beatiful, and also collection of music, almost 2gigs of music, possible with mod too.
Music packs nails the immersion.

So what i think about this game:
Buy it now! It is 20€/$ on steam, and on sales like 10€/$.
Maybe play some vanilla for a while or hop in some good server with other players.

Rating(max 10):
Vanilla: 7
Content rich modded one(without HD and Extra Music): 8
Content rich modded one with all stuff i mentioned: 9

I hope this review gives you good idea what is this game about, IMO the best survival, adventure, kick ass game now. Also Cooperation in servers is strong!

Have good one!
