Love letter to Valheim

What struck me while walking through the meadows and dark forest is how much this game captures the feel of the forests I walked through in my youth. It gave a profound feeling of joy. And the creatures ... I am not sure if they are 'accurate' mythologically, but they fit the spirit perfectly. Not the trolls and draugr that everyone knows, but the strange grays you meet early on even more so.

It's a game that makes me glad. And that's priceless, in this day. Thank you.

It's a well done game. I kinda want to see how its built though since i'm a computer science student for a learning aspect.

Agree. You can get lost in the atmosphere of each biome. Immersive.

Yeah i live in Finland and you can actually find similar forests as the dark forest in here. Minus the glowing plants and enemies i guess.

Just have some government drop a nuke on it and it will glow too. Then they also become enemies. :steamhappy:

They really did a great job in the game of creating atmospheres for each biome. Lighting and sound work really is top notch in creating how places "feel". Very artistically done.
