Ehh… Im not sure it was a gamble in this case. Valheim was pretty complete in its early access form when I bought it like nearly 5 years ago. It also has overwhelmingly positive reviews. I think it’s also delivered more than its original roadmap, which wasn’t much past mistlands.

They stated it will still receive bug fixes, just perhaps no new content.

I think I paid $20 for it and I feel I got my money for it, even though I haven’t even played it since before the mistlands update released. I plan on firing it up again after the deep north 1.0 releases and imagine having a lot of fun with it.
