This game is disappointing to be honest. I played it years ago, did about 40 hours without mods and then another 40 with mods. It had so much potential but was lacking some major QoL and basic stuff. I did gave it a good chance and with a ton of mods it was kinda fun, but it felt like I needed to work at it to make it fun.

Years later and basic stuff isn’t fixed. The development has been slow for years and nothing got fixed people complained about. I heard that development was completely stopped and the game abandoned, so I was surprised to see it released as 1.0. But from the looks of it, it’s just a 1.0 badge slapped on and not actually a fully cooked end result.

People still have a lot of fun with it, but playing this without mods is pretty oof.

Saying the game was abandoned is completely false. Iron Gate has been consistently releasing dev blogs and major content updates (Hearth & Home, Mistlands, Ashlands, and now the Deep North for 1.0) since launch in 2021. They’re a small indie team that intentionally took their time to avoid crunch and maintain quality. It’s fine if the vanilla loop or pacing isn’t your thing, but the devs definitely didn’t abandon it or just ‘slap a 1.0 badge’ on it.

Developer here.

You can go right now to your tiny tiny room, lie in your tiny tiny bed with your tiny tiny brain and drown in your own tears thinking about the fact that you will never be able to participate in something as beautiful as Vale

  I highly doubt you are a developer of this game, but if you are, well… that explains a lot I guess.

    He didn’t say Valheim developer, or even game developer 🤷

    He is a known troll, being toxic and attack people. Just report him.

IGN gave it a full 10/10 so clearly some people think it’s great.

Small dev team got instantly rich as fuck and blatantly phoned the rest of game in.

  And I find it hard to blame them, although it is unfortunate how much potential they threw out the window. They could‘ve made much more money and a name for themselves if they just hired more people to do amazing stuff. Instead they took a year vacation or so. I got enough hours out of it to not really care, though.
