Valheim

Edge

February 2022

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.

Possessor(s)

After three rounds of layoffs this year and Hyper Light Breaker’s curtailed development in early access, a lot seems to rest for Heart Machine on this plucky Metroidvania side project. The studio has an obvious knack for conjuring up fascinating fantasy worlds, but since its compact debut, Hyper Light Drifter, it’s been less obvious whether it can manage projects of a larger scale. And perhaps, on that count, even the modest Possessor(s) isn’t quite modest enough — it feels as much a victim of the company’s production woes as a showcase for its creative talent.

Street Fighter 6

Superstition might suggest that even numbers are more auspicious for the series, but it's fairer to say that Capcom learned from the mistakes of Street Fighter V and launched a fighting game that doesn't just feel like a full package, but one that has foundations to build on in future updates.

The Outer Worlds 2

There's always a risk in imitating something regarded as a classic: if it offers a template for success, it could just as easily invite unfavourable comparison. Obsidian Entertainment's Fallout: New Vegas has gained that reputation in the 15 years since its release, and while the original The Outer Worlds, led by Fallout creators Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, referenced that series without aping it, the sequel zeroes in on New Vegas as its direct source of inspiration. This explains both why The Outer Worlds 2 is a success and why it can't quite stand tall as a creation with its own identity.
