Valheim is a Norse-inspired survival game with crafting, building, exploration and cooperative play.

Our take

Choose it for a long-running shared world or a self-directed survival adventure.

Procedural terrain, bosses and structural building systems give exploration a continuing purpose.

Keep in mind: Survival combat and progression require preparation; server availability, version compatibility and hardware affect cooperative play, and a game purchase is not server hosting.

What you can do

  • Gather resources and craft weapons, food and ships
  • Build settlements with structural and ventilation considerations
  • Explore alone or with up to ten players on supported servers

Good for

  • Players who enjoy building and cooperating through demanding survival challenges.

Consider alternatives for

  • Players expecting an untimed casual builder without enemies or an included managed server.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: macOS 11.0.
  • Survival combat and progression require preparation; server availability, version compatibility and hardware affect cooperative play, and a game purchase is not server hosting.

Privacy & permissions

Online servers and player profiles expose connection and gameplay information; join trusted hosts and back up worlds before updates or mod changes.
