Valheim's overall difficulty compared to all of the games I had ever played, is about 6/10. The game punishes players for dying with skill drains and tedious corpse loot retrieval, but these aren't difficulty factors. Skills boost characters enough to notice a slight difference, but doesn't give so much that starting a new character will feel underwhelming.

As Letozeth had mentioned, some players for some reason, find this game to be too difficult. Trust me when I say I am not a hardcore gamer. While I used to be nimble in PvP back during Wrath of the Lich King days in WoW, It has been over ten years since. Yet, I find fighting, exploring, building, and such in Valheim to be quite paced and calming.

Of course, the game is in EA. So expect additions and fixes over time.
