Picked up Valheim recently. Upside: excellent co-op survival loop. Downside: still in early access.
So much fun
Been playing Valheim with friends. Great atmosphere and art. One gripe: combat is simple. Would recommend.
Love it
Sunk way too many hours into Valheim. Strong value. No real complaints. Would recommend.
