Early Access Review
I checked yes on the Recommended and here's why -

This game has an incredible amount of potential; based on what is currently available in the game - I would say the average gamer should be able to get to about 300-400 hours of playtime before they reach the End of Progressive content that is currently available in the game.

That being said - I made it about 200 hours before I was spent on the game, we reached the final boss and received placeholder items meaning there was no more content left to unlock.

I had tamed/bred over 200 boars, tamed 8 LOX, Tamed/bred over 100 wolves, and grew and cloned well over 4000 crops.

This game is a great gaming experience for all who want to endure discovery at a snails pace (IF YOU'RE SOLO)
My advice ... DONT USE WIKI. Don't use any sort of outside information, for it will drastically take away from the beautiful experience that most games lack now. Discovery. The opportunity to challenge yourself with what you're given in order to figure out an enemies weakness, how to navigate through a seemingly treacherous sea, or just how to manipulate terrain without the help of guides.

Valheim offers a different experience for every player - If you like PVE there's plenty of it. If you like PVP I wouldn't suggest this game at all - You WILL get bored, there is no current server that can support more than 4 or 5 people with a dense world that has MANY entities placed by players. For instance - when we were going to kill the 4th boss - we invited a few more people to come with us, originally we were 3 - and after they all logged in , we were 7 or 8 deep. The server could not handle it. The enemies were rubber banding everywhere, loot was getting thrown into the stratosphere, invisible mobs were killing us and if you got into a boat FORGET ABOUT IT.... Until they work on some of the Net coding - and multiplayer support (Supports up to 10 people) Sure you can have 10 people... but, It may be a bit treacherous at times. Sometimes we were lucky and the game worked fine with more than 5 - but most of the time it was horrid.

Overall - the game itself is very well done for an Early Access game, and it has quite a bit of potential, and the developers have their work cut out for them. There is a lot of expectation within the community, but these guys know what they are doing. Hopefully they can deliver.
