A progress report on the games we just can’t quit

Developer Iron Gate Studio Publisher Coffee Stain Publishing Format PC Release 2021 (Early Access)
On some occasions, a legendary quest begins with a heroic call to arms: a quest to slay a beast, or retrieve a long-lost treasure. On others, it may be the urgent need to craft a new hat. Such is the case in Valheim, the popular Viking survival game encouraging exploration with every fibre of its being. With its dappled glades and misty forests, ruins that promise reward and refuge, and mysterious creatures hidden in its depths, Valheim invites you to discover near-endless horizons.
Yet venturing through this Viking afterlife is not a totally unstructured experience.
