Kenshi by far is a long ways off from what Valheim is.
Kenshi is squad based god view game with automated combat with building elements where the best way to progress is to get beaten up often. long as it doesnt kill you.

Valheim is a bilinear quest driven exploration combat and building game with food/stamina and potion management needed for many of the areas. with magic elements added at the Mistlands stage. Valheim is also MP optional.

performance wise both are widely different as well. Kenshi is built on a 20 year old custom made game engine which can only use 32bit architecture which limits its feature's it could have and has performance issues if not installed onto a SSD.

Valheim is on a modern game engine and its limitation's are geared to what type of computer the player has.

I play both and love them both for what type of game play they are. very different from each other.
