Early Access Review
I want Valheim to be a bigger success than it already is. This game and it's designers deserve more money and players than World of Warcraft had at its peak. Seriously.

tl;dr, Buy Valheim. Buy it now. There are very few games in history worthy of their price. This one is worth FAR more so don't ask questions, just buy it now at the price it shows and be happy that you made out like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bandit, and enjoy a game made the way games SHOULD be made.

Yes, it's true that the game has some flaws that could (and I'm sure they will) be addressed in the future, but this game has crossed a bridge into a realm I have fervently believed in for over 2 decades of watching new games come out. They made a great game and didn't sacrifice amazing gameplay mechanics and features for the chance of flashy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ graphics. This game made millions of dollars using 20 year old graphics technology, and you know what? It's because Valheim is just that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good. AAA studios could ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ learn something from these guys. Seriously, ask yourself where "so and so" game would be today if they hadn't bought into the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ decision of sacrificing some gameplay mechanic manhours and budget in favor of making sure your character's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ belt swings in the wind just right. I'm not saying this isn't a good thing SOMETIMES... but think about it... seriously ask yourself that question.

Valheim is on par to be one of my favorite games in all existence. I absolutely cannot wait to see where it goes from here.
