Since Valheim’s release, the game copies have been sold to more than 2 million people over. Valheim is the perfect blend of exploration and survival and currently is the most played game on Steam. A couple of weeks ago, 360,000 active players had been walking through Valheim at the same time.
This increase has recorded an all-time high number of users, breaking GTA 5 and Destiny 2. Among other Indie games, Valheim has become the most celebrated game of all time. Valheim’s every detail from sunbeams to greenish forest and survival rejuvenates the player’s experience in the open-world genre.
What Kind of Game is Valheim?
If you haven’t played Valheim, here is a quick overview. The game features an open-world exploration and survival quest filled with challenges that a sound strategy can only accomplish. You start the game with nothing but pants. Scavenging for supplies needs to build shelter and weapons to ensure your survival.
While you’re on the quest to ascend Valhalla, collected items will be needed when encountering deadly spirits. Valheim initially sets the field for games and arouses the interest of players. For example, repairing gears and building require no money, no resources, and nothing at all. The hunger system is crucial to your survival if you’re fed. These elements in the game make Valheim much more competitive for the genre.
Valheim is a Player versus Environment focused game. However, the history of humanity and atrocities contradict the game mechanics, which emphasizes cooperation and collaboration. Unlike many other games in the genre that offer a more gritty approach, Valheim offers a unique structure.
Players are guided by the spiritual crow, who gives directions occasionally. As you progress and find new maps, you’re posed with different challenges that include cold weather and delving deep into dungeons, and hunting for treasure. Valheim offers a strong sense of progression which dramatically increases the interest where most survival games barely provide such experience.
