Valheim Released

We mentioned the release date for Valheim a few weeks ago, but seeing it atop the Steam bestsellers list above serves as a reminder we failed to mention the actual launch of Iron Gate's co-op survival adventure into Early Access on Steam a few days ago. Here's the Early Access Launch Trailer and here's a catch-up on the game:
A battle-slain warrior, the Valkyries have ferried your soul to Valheim, the tenth Norse world. Besieged by creatures of chaos and ancient enemies of the gods, you are the newest custodian of the primordial purgatory, tasked with slaying Odin’s ancient rivals and bringing order to Valheim.

Your trials begin at the disarmingly peaceful centre of Valheim, but the gods reward the brave and glory awaits. Venture forth through imposing forests and snow-capped mountains, explore and harvest more valuable materials to craft deadlier weapons, sturdier armor, viking strongholds and outposts. Build a mighty longship and sail the great oceans in search of exotic lands … but be wary of sailing too far...

Key features:

  • Huge procedurally-generated world - explore and inhabit mystical lands, from mysteriousforests to imposing snow-topped mountain ranges and stunning meadows, complete with their own creatures of legend to battle and wildlife to hunt.
  • Co-op PvE (2-10 players) - - Whether you want to brave the lands alone or venture with trusted allies, Valheim supports independent, player-hosted servers and unlimited world creation. We recommend playing co-op with 3-5 players.
  • Punishing dodge & block based combat system with a wide range of weapons
  • Build & sail ships - from flimsy rafts to imposing warships, build legendary vessels to conquer the seas and discover new lands.
  • Summon and defeat vengeful primordial bosses of myth and legend, and collect trophies to progress and craft new powerful items
  • Flexible house and base building system - raise mead halls, farms, settlements outposts, castles and more.
  • Intuitive item crafting - forge the finest weapons and armour, and craft food and mead.
  • Dedicated server- for players who want to run a persistent server. If you prefer not to run a server on your PC, consider renting a server at G-Portal.

This game collapsed my friend's entire internet. Had to restart his router to fix it. When he joins my server he sees an empty world although I do see him and what he is doing.

All the above are known issues atm for quite a lot of players. For a release into EA this is nonetheless a ridiculously big bug.

We are especially disappointed by this issue because the first night all went more than fine and we immediately fell in love with it. We hate Conan Exiles and somehow love Valheim.

kind of casual when it comes to survival, but progress needs a bit of a grind in the long run. Exploration and gathering resources as usual is way quicker with friends, the only thing I'm missing out on is map or vision sharing. I really like it that you can have one and the same char for solo or multiplayer

I really like what I see but there's no word from Devs on some NPCs to hire/fill your villages with in SP to help defend/gather so I'm going to wait. Besides, library has got some games I still need to start and finish. lol

Nah, late '90s, but with '00s effects and '10s physics. Really cool game so far, Minecraft-ish (procedural open world with loads of gathering/crafting) but with real RPG mechanics all over it. You start out with zeroed skills and feel yourself getting stronger and faster in everything you do over time, upgrade gear and explore on a full belly, conquer the night, etc. Then the boss fights...

Was watching Burke play this last night on Twitch and actually looked really good.
