Pretty much, if you discount constantly unfavourable winds, a very basic (and very grindy) progression line, and a largely boring world.

Valheim is a junk food game. It hits a lot of bases people want in a survival game to a functional degree, but lacks the depth to keep them playing for long. In that regard it's good at what it does, but it'll leave you wanting more if you're looking for something satisfying to play.
