I thought it would be fun for my wife to try Valheim with my mates as her first PC game. Shes since taken over my PC and ive been relegated to my handheld and a chair from the kitchen. She even plays with my mates on her day off while I work. This has been the norm for months now. I have truly been cucked. Please send your condolences

Honest question? Should I buy valhall while it’s on sale or wait for it to be closer to done

    Yeah just get it now! The map is randomly generated but the new biome updates populate in the undiscovered areas of your own game. Once the game is full released you can just pick up where you last left.

    Its a very complete game and great value

    I got Valheim before they added the mistlands and it was still a more complete and full game than anything a AAA studio has made this decade. Grab it on sale, get your friends, your family, your pets a copy. Frankly, comming from someone who will pirate everything, I will gladly pay full price a second time for the quality of work they've put in.

    Playing it with my friends was one of the things that kept me sane during lockdown. It's an incredible game. Decently fun single player too, but it really shines when playing with other people.

    I really liked mining and foraging, so I'd go out and build super barebones outposts in various biomes, occasionally bringing back a heckton of ore for new weapons and tools. I also liked being the first one to get dibs on a new pickaxe when the new tier of tools was unlocked

    Same! For me it was the outposts and buildings. By the time we stopped playing I'd paved half our discovered area with roads, built way stations so you could sleep while traveling, and had a base and dock on every important island or biome.

    My crowning achievement was called The Sky Vault. I'd lifted 4 pillars to the maximum terrain hight on a tiny plains island, then built a building supported by them that could only be accessed via portal. There I had a long table and thrones for each of us and a collection of all the treasures, cool trophies, and artifacts from out time in play. Covered the room in piles of gold, little chests, cool weapons that we didn't end up using. The finishing touch was that the gate to our settlement stood between two of the pillars, so you got to walk under it get into the town.

    I'm personally waiting for the 1.0 / Deep North update to go back to playing it. But even when I stopped playing because of just getting bored with it, 2 years ago according to Steam, it's a good game already with complete mechanics. And there are quality of life mods you can add on top of the configs you can do in the base game when setting up a world.

    Even solo, as someone that usually gets bored with open world survival games, it has enough draw for me to have 1 - 2 hours gaming sessions for a month straight.
