Add More Realistic Atmosphere
I would love to see more realistic and immersive atmosphere in the game, like sounds of nature and wildlife, to make the game more believable and engaging.
More Variety of Environments
Having more variety of environments would make the game more exciting and unpredictable, like discovering new biomes or areas to explore.
Improve Combat Mechanics
The combat mechanics could be improved by adding more strategy and tactics, like using terrain to your advantage or creating distractions to take down enemies.

New Biomas
The biomas get repetitive after a while, adding new ones would keep the game fresh and exciting.

The lack of clear feedback on what's wrong and how to improve can be infuriating. I recommend providing more explicit guidance to help players get back on track.

Incrível. Diria que revolucionou o mundo dos games no seu segmento. Esta análise foi editada, sendo que, na anterior, eu não indicava o jogo principalmente por conta da sua má otimização. Porém, da data da minha análise (NOV/21) para os dias atuais, foram muitos updates, o que deixou o jogo lisinho... [spoiler]Pelo menos no meu PC.[/spoiler] Os constantes updates e principalmente, os novos conteúdos [BIOMAS}, formaram um jogo quase que inigualável. A atenção dos devs com o jogo é parte fundamental para seu grande sucesso. Não à toa, estão surgindo dezenas de novos jogos no mesmo segmento. [b]ANÁLISE ANTERIOR:[/b] Eu fico pra entender esses jogos de exploração e sobrevivência onde te oferecem milhões de possibilidades de crafts mas, quando você constrói uma base com 3 objetos, o FPS cai de 120 pra 20 em questão de milésimos de segundos. Não é exclusividade de valheim, isso ocorre em praticamente todos os jogos do gênero. Algo que não deveria acontecer. E isso, com toda certeza do mundo, nos deixa frustrados, pois, você pensa em uma base com tudo que tem direito e quando a constrói, não consegue desfrutar da mesma.

Поки срав почався рейд, який заагрив всіх мобів в радіусі кілометра. Базу знесли під 0, грядки розтоптали, портали зламали, мого персонажа згвалтували гоблінським мечем в сраку. [b] Рекомендую [/b]

[h3]МИ ВСІ ПОМРЕМО!!! Або перший досвід гри в Valheim. [/h3] “ми всі помремо” це перше що прокричав мій друг коли ми вирішили голожопими забігти в чорноліся, нас заТРОЛили. Цією фразою можна точно описати ігролад, так як скрізь можна смачно хапанути.(з другом цікавіше [spoiler]хапати[/spoiler]). Світ вальхейма наповнений різними місцинами які до усрачки гарні та страшенно атмосферні. Цими лугами, лісами, морями і горами можна подорожувати вічно, точніше прийдеться бо бос може знаходитись в самому дальньому зажоп’ї, і дав би Бог туди добратися з першого разу. Цей небезпечний світ відправляє нас в історію в котрій нам доведеться пройти захопливий шлях [spoiler]зловити по голові від ялинки, згоріти в перший ж день від багатячка, бігати по горах від псів патронів, битися з пеньочками, приручати жопастих бичків, ЗПАЛЮВАТИ ДО ТЛА СЕЛИЩА ГОБЛІНІВ, ловити тички комариків.[/spoiler] [h3]Гру краще грати з друзями.[/h3] Гра не стане ні кращою ні гіршою від того чи ви вибрали грати сам чи з кимісь, але похід в пригоду з друзями дарує шикарні емоції. Дякую розробникам за неймовірний досвід та чудово проведений час. Окреме дякую за українську мову.

Se ha convertido en mi survival favorito (a pesar de que no tiene logros). A pesar de estar en early access creo que ahora mismo tiene mas que suficiente contenido como para pagar lo que vale. Lo bonito de este juego es que cuando crees que ya lo has visto todo te vuelve a sorprender, además, todo lo que haces sube de nivel una estadística de tu personaje, de tal modo que si haces mucho algo mejoras tu habilidad en eso. Es un juego para chinofarmers, no te mete prisa ni te acribilla a información, mas bien te dejan solo y te dejan que descubras tu las cosas. Propicia mucho la exploración (otra cosa que han hecho muy bien). Es un juego que puedes jugar solo pero desde luego es mucho mas disfrutable si tienes amigos y esas cosas. Cosas ¿malas?: .El juego tiene una progresión muy clara con respecto a boss-bioma. Una vez los has matado a todos sientes que no tienes que hacer nada más, es decir, aunque sea un juego infinito y puedas jugar todo lo que quieras y explorarlo todo en tu mundo... cuando sientes que no tienes más progresión lo acabas dejando, es como sentir que has llegado al final. .Le faltan logros.

I was banned from their reddit for criticizing their slow development speed and I will just post my frustration here instead. The Devs have literally taken the Lazy route and destroyed their own roadmap in order to make the updates less available and seem like they are more substantial than they really are. I have been a supporter of this game since day 1 and have witnessed firsthand what happens to an early access title like Valheim when it reaches critical success in Early Access. The devs had a roadmap set for the original plan for this game, but when they realized the goldmine they created they instantly destroyed said roadmap, and brainwashed players to expect even more expansive updates meanstwhile providing the bare minimum every 24 months if you are lucky. I have grown from loving this game to understanding that the devs have taken advantage of the playerbase and have decided to expliot their patience and provide the bare minimum while depending on modders to develop the rest of that game instead of uising resources they gained during the initial success of Valheim. aka. FUCK OFF

Не понимаю почему у игры недавние обзоры 90% положительные. Игра находится в разработке уже три с половиной года. За это время мы получили 2 биома и одно всратенькое обновление домашнего очага. Каждый новый биом начиная с равнин создает такой перепад сложности, что исследовать их (ну или просто пытаться в них существовать) душно, больно, НЕ ВЕСЕЛО. Кто дошел хотя бы до туманных земель поймет о чем я говорю. Все это накладывается на то, что залутав горы бабла, и казалось бы, инвистрируй их в разработку своей недоделанной игры, но нет блять, МЫ БУДЕМ ВЫПУСКАТЬ ЕБУЧУЮ НАСТОЛЬНУЮ ИГРУ ПО НЕДОДЕЛАННОЙ ИГРЕ ИЗ РАННЕГО ДОСТУПА. БРАВО. Кстати, судя по содержанию постов разработчиков, они спустя 4 месяца после релиза пепельных земель еще не приступили к разработке нового биома...

Just go and read all the comments on the update posts for this game, when 80% of comments are negative based on lack of commitment or any worthwhile update to the game in years. No this game is a joke and so are these developers. Had a roadmap for the game 3-4 years ago saying within a year it would be completed, I get things happen but...3-4 years later and you haven't even come close to finishing your original abandoned roadmap. That only speaks volume about these sad devs. They are literally doing nothing....except paying others to make a board game based off an unfinished video game, let that sink in if you want more proof as to how utterly inept these devs are.

The game became unplayable with Mistlands and unbearable with ashlands. The feeling of progression is completly lost and instead of discovering new areas and dungeons you run blindly through mountains in mistlands or away from 100s of enemys in ashlands. I don't know what happened to the original devs, because i refuse to believe these are the same people that designed the first released bioms.

  • Sentiments

    • The game's progression is no longer enjoyable due to the new content.
    • The feeling of discovery is lost due to the new areas and dungeons.
    • The new bioms are difficult to navigate and are full of enemies.
    • I don't want to play the game anymore due to the new content.
    • I miss the original devs and the game's original design.
    • The game has become unplayable due to the new content.
