Early Access Review
Valheim is a $20 game that within the first few hours of gameplay, I knew I'd gladly pay $60 for!

An Open World, Survival and Crafting game set in the Tenth world of Norse Mythology.

This game gives you an amazing feeling of freedom and possibility, not terribly unlike the feeling Minecraft gives.
It has however, a clear system of progression and goal to it.
You progress through the Biomes of the world, each inhabiting a Boss that you must defeat to "unlock" the resources of the next Biome.
Harvest and gather for food, chop and mine to build, explore and sail to new lands, and last but not least, fight to survive.

The game is currently in Early Access, and is not finished. Five out of Nine biomes are currently in the game, and current systems are still being adjusted and revised. (The other biomes *are* in the game, but currently empty of usable resources and new mobs)


I personally find that the graphics, lighting and physics truly craft a stunning and unique experience.
This game is beautiful, in many ways more than one, and no one can convince me otherwise.

This game blew my mind, and for me, set a whole new standard for Early Access games that I don't expect any other company will come close to in a long time.
