Valheim Patch 1.0.21 Notes
{"en":"Valheim Patch 1.0.21 brings a massive list of bug fixes, gameplay tweaks, and platform-specific improvements across Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch 2.
Valheim is a brutal exploration and survival game for 1-10 players set in a procedurally-generated world inspired by Norse mythology. Craft powerful weapons, construct longhouses, and slay mighty foes to prove yourself to Odin!
Slain in battle, a Viking warrior is carried to Valheim, the mysterious tenth world of Norse mythology. Long ago, Odin banished his ancient enemies to this realm, where they grew in strength and became a threat once again. Tasked with proving their worth to the Allfather, the warrior must bring order to Valheim by hunting down the Forsaken - powerful beings that rule over the world's hostile lands. The journey begins in the peaceful Meadows and leads through dark forests, deadly swamps, frozen mountains, vast plains, mist-shrouded lands, the scorched Ashlands, and ultimately the frozen reaches of the Deep North. To survive, the warrior must explore unknown lands, gather resources, build settlements, craft increasingly powerful weapons and armour, and sail across dangerous seas. With each Forsaken defeated, new paths and challenges are revealed, bringing the warrior closer to completing Odin's task and proving themselves worthy of Valhalla.

I wanted to wait until I had 100 hours into this game to give it a review. I wanted to have plenty of time put into it with it being an early access title. I've played mainly solo, most games like this I do, just a personal preference until I have beat the game. This game is an early access, the only bug I have ran into is an item tooltip describing what the item is. The game feels completed even though it is not. You can’t say that for a lot of early access games now a days. Let's start off with the Building aspect this game offers. The terraforming can take a little to get used to. You can’t just dig with a pickaxe underneath the layer above, you must take it all the way down. With you not being able to dig a cave, you must dig the whole area out and build in the area if you wanted to build an underground dungeon for example. You unlock building items as you progress through the game,
Dear people at Iron Gate. I absolutely love your game and have spent many more hours than I would like to admit playing it. So would you Please use some of the small funds you made off of the millions of presales to hire some interns/modders to clean up your technical/design debt? You can only hide behind the "prerelease" tag for so long, and that time is well past. If you know that armor sets work better without a cape, why is the weakest armor set (the troll set) still the only one requires four items? Why are you giving us the ability to have fancy swimming trinkets, and fancy swimming potions, but we still can't dip our head under water to collect the nails sitting in a 6ft deep dock. You gave us a combat overhaul, but we still can't aim up or down, somehow making Spear and Atgeir the Worst weapons for fighting leaches when they should likely be the best. Every new craftable item yo
It's criminal that a team of 5 people can build such an amazing game like this and sell it for $20. I continue to be amazed at the thought that went into this game and all the little details. From the changing weather, the waves in the ocean, the ebb and flow of the water along shorelines, the smoke from the campfire as it fills the room, the ease and simplicity when it comes to building, the way the trees fall, the music that feels seamless and relaxing, and so on. I truly appreciate that they didn't make an "open world simulation that simulates things for no other reason than to simulate them". Made a mistake while building that house? No worries, just remove it and get all your materials back. Ran out of food while busy building or crafting? No worries, you're not going to die from hunger. Broke your axe? No worries, just repair it. Troll smashed your cart full of ore? No worries, j
I'm an older player. (in my seventies), but it was my sons who introduce me to the game. Though them have since moved on I continue to use Valheim on a regular basis. I mostly use the game for two things. Keeping my memory active, and for building things. I've built lots and lots of shelters of various kinds, and am continuing to improve the quality and techniques. To do so I pretty much operate with the development commands to make things easier for doing what I like best. I continue to learn how to protect the shelters and myself from the various enemies. I like the graphics which have improved since I first started. For real gamers, it offers some great challenges.
i'm a 63 year old gamer. Been playing since 1977 when the Atari 2600 came out with "Pong" as the big thing. I have primarily enjoyed open-world exploration games, like Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout4, which I have played many hours on. I have already done 555 hours on Valheim, which has some the most amazingly beautiful, realistic, not to mention dangerous biomes I have ever seen, despite the low detail. The different climate effects mixed with the lightling and weather are superb, And the sound effects are so realistic, especially the lightning and thunder storms. The crafting and settlement building along with you picking where you're going to settle is so great! Definitely one of the best games I have ever played!
It got a crafting/boss progression similar to Terraria. It has Dark Souls-like combat and punishment for death. It got world/biome generation similar to Minecraft. It got textures like a PS1 game. It got lighting like a 2020 AAA game. It sounds weird, but it's absolutely fantastic!
