Yes, worth buying, especially since it's so inexpensive.
The game is Early Access. It's not complete. People complain about how long it's taking to release new material, but the devs are releasing updates on a regular basis. These have not been the unfinished biomes, but rather quite a few bug fixes and some additional material for biomes already in play. (We saw one large update to the food and building system early on and some additional material for the Mountain biome.) But no, the game isn't dead, and there is stuff in the pipeline.
As far as gameplay goes, it's pretty unforgiving to people who rush into regions and situations for which they're unprepared. I personally haven't had to do a naked corpse run in a game for many years, and I love that aspect of it. Take your time, see the sights, learn from your mistakes and I think you'll have a great time.

Completely agree with . Valheim was my first try at a survival game and I have over 1,200 hrs of play time so far which for $20 is a very good deal. Never got near as much from other more expensive titles I've played.
As far as updates go, you'll read a lot about devs being slow but that's the way they work. Updates have been made and will continue to be made. As mentioned, there are three biomes left to build out.
If you like exploration and building then this is a great game in my opinion.
