After five years of Early Access, the 1.0 release of Valheim is finally here. Claudia embarked on a new adventure to see what the game has to offer in its current state...

Survival, which blew us away years ago, has finally been released. But is anyone else interested?

Your long journey is at an end, Viking.

Valheim is probably the most polished survival game I've ever played, with a ridiculously satisfying upgrade loop that kept me hooked.

Without straying too much into spoiler territory (as it will be a lot more fun for you to discover it for yourself), the existing land of Valheim also has plenty of new features and content to look out for. Not only will that make the journey to the Deep North all the more entertaining for those playing the game for the first time, it should also give longtime players the shot in the arm they need to return to those old biomes and zones.

Valheim's 1.0 release is finally upon us, and Brian took the long-running Viking survival game's upcoming update for a spin. How does the experience stack up?

Almost perfect if not for the nitty-gritty. If it’s quite there but not enough to push the boundaries, it’s still an awesome game.

You don’t need to be as strong as a Viking to enjoy Valheim. However, having that strength and a few friends by your side might help you survive and navigate this fascinating yet unforgiving world.

With more than 8 million players since its debut in early access, Valheim is a massive success. Several months later, the game keeps offering content, a promising roadmap, and an expanding world that will entice new players and veterans alike. If you're into the new Viking age in gaming or want to try a new spin on survival games, give Valheim a go. Glory awaits.

Overall, Valheim is a fairly complete game even though it is still in early-access. It suffers from some of the normal bugs and glitches that you see in other early-access titles but it also has a lot of content that is wonderful and works well. It is a great group game if you have a bunch of friends who feel like building Norse villages and going raiding. You can get this on Steam right now. I can't wait for future updates.
