Planet Explorers vs Valheim
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.
Set in the year 2287, survivors of a crashed colony ship must brave the alien planet Maria, battling creatures and harsh environments while gathering resources. The game blends RPG progression with open‑world sandbox freedom, letting players shape the terrain, craft weapons, and construct vehicles. Using a unique OpenCL‑driven voxel engine, Planet Explorers lets you deform terrain anywhere, create custom objects, and collaborate with friends in single‑player, multiplayer, or co‑op modes. Build a new home for humanity in this sci‑fi survival adventure.
Valheim is a co-op survival crafting game set in a procedurally generated Norse purgatory, blending base-building, exploration, and challenging boss fights with a striking low-poly art style.

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.
