Valheim is one of the greatest survival games on PC, and you can now grab this brilliant gem for its lowest price ever during early access.
It's weird to think that it's been over four years since Valheim first graced the Steam store. An open-world survival game with a PS2-style aesthetic that felt familiar, yet unique for its genre, with a procedurally-generated world and a fun Norse theme. After years of early access development, where other survival games have come and gone, Valheim is still brilliant. If you've yet to experience it for yourself, you can now grab the game at its cheapest price yet.
Even though it's early access, it's still one of the best survival games, even in the wake of things like Palworld or Enshrouded. Valheim's Viking-style world is brutal, harsh, and yet still a lot of fun to explore, as you progress from surviving day by day to growing a budding home away from home.
Calling Valheim harsh is a bit exaggerated, though, as the game has a great balance of difficulty and progression. The opening moments of this PC game can be daunting, and the unnerving creatures can keep you on your toes, but you'll quickly find yourself building a lovely base that you can call your own and finding new ways to survive against the odds.
However, if you're finding the experience too stressful, it's easy to turn Valheim into a fun, Minecraft creative-style game with the use of Valheim console commands, exchanging the tension of surviving an unfamiliar world for something creative and artistic. I love being able to explore the game's challenging wilds without having to worry about losing resources.
If you're keen to enjoy Valheim's uniquely beautiful world, you can grab it for just $9.99 / £7.74 at Humble Bundle, a massive 50% off the usual price. Best of all, you can enjoy the game while it's still in its early access period, meaning you can see it become the full product as it edges towards a 1.0 release.
After playing countless hours like me, you could always download the best Valheim mods to give yourself more content (or quality-of-life changes) to enjoy. Alternatively, if you're looking for something else to play with your friends, the best co-op games offer some must-play experiences on PC.
