Have you asked this in the Wildlands board too? Because based off what I have heard about that game, those fans would probably tell you to get Valheim too.

While I can't speak for the quality of the gameplay or scale of Wildlands, the company that publishes it has been getting increasingly worse rep over recent years, and they don't appear to promise much good for the future of Wildlands. In fact their promises sound more like threats.

Valheim is good value. Low price, pretty rough in the content department but it promises a lot. I would definitely feel better about giving my money to them.
