What kept me going long after the so called "end game" is the combat, exploration, resource gathering, building, farming, taming etc.

If you are the type that spent long hours playing minecraft long after you killed "the ender dragon" You should enjoy the same lengthy gameplay here.

Even though I've been playing 1300 hours w/ practically the same character, my swim rating is still only 52. My block 53 (out of 100). I have room to grow still. I'll be playing other games and an idea will pop into my head of something I can do in Valheim.

Exploration?
But there is nothing to explore.
There are no unique points of interest, no unique dungeons, no unique treasures, you've been once to a biome, you've been to them all.
Removing fog of war from the map isn't what I would call "exploring".

Skill grind isn't what I would use as good thing here either.

Combat is indeed fun, but lacks variety.

And while I agree that comparing it to minecraft is somewhat valid, game is extremely content shallow in comparison.

It is fun, but it does not have any long term hooks unless you like to build exclusively.
