Comment on Current 50% sale on Valheim on Steam
intelligentandarticulate@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoI’ve heard good things about valheim but only in the context of playing with multiple people. Is solo much different / is the game built for solo or teams?

Valheim can be completed solo, and many prefer it. There is really no pressure to play co-op if you don’t enjoy it, and you can do both in the same playthrough; co-op is seamless, friends can join your solo world (crossplatform PC and Xbox) with their existing characters, and you can join any other world with your existing characters. Some restraint is needed as this can be exploited, skipping progression by “smuggling” advanced materials and gear. There are mods to prevent this is you want.
Enemies scale in difficulty when multiple players are in proximity of each other.
You can tweak the difficulty settings on existing worlds from the main menu, no commitment. Tailor the experience to what you find enjoyable. The most common complaint is that resource gathering is a little slow solo, so you can turn up a multiplier that makes it faster if you like.
