Valheim

In Valheim, players assume the role of a recently slain warrior, recently sent to the tenth world. Now with the ultimate goal of making their way to Valhalla for glory, players must explore a procedurally generated open world, build bases, craft weapons and armor, and slay intimidating beasts to earn their eternal glory. As an open-world action game, players must survive the harsh elements alone or with other fallen warriors as they prepare to face insurmountable foes in third-person action combat.
