Playing alone or with up to nine other players, you explore dangerous biomes, gather resources, craft weapons and armour, build Viking settlements and longships, and battle powerful creatures and bosses in order to prove yourself worthy of Odin. Progression is tied to exploration and defeating the Forsaken, with each biome introducing new enemies, resources, crafting possibilities and challenges. From the peaceful Meadows to the frozen Deep North, players can build, farm, sail, fight and explore the tenth world at their own pace. Show more

You're a dead warrior stuck in a "purgatory" known as Valheim - you are to prove that you are deserving and honourable to pass on to Valhalla. This should have been on GOG years ago. It even got on the Mac App Store last year! (another Apple game for GOG if we get it!) It's first and foremost an - ORIGINAL - survival game, with a heavy flourishing theme of Scandinavian folklore. It is not hardcore, you don't have hunger and such so it's not annoying, but instead it has many mechanics like buffs from feeding yourself, getting shelter, etc... that could help you gain the upperhand in such an oppressive world filled with monsters. Flavorful monsters straight out from folklore, from dwarf-looking graylings to hulking, slow, but one-hitter 20-foot trolls.astralhunt

Invested many hundred hours into this game, and it still makes a lot of fun to create a new world, explore, hunt deer and build huge viking dwellings. There's also a highly active modding community, dedicated server support and the game doesn't really require Steam's DRM to be feature-complete (it doesn't even have achievements or trading cards). My hopes are still up that the devs will release it on GOG once it's out of early access, which is currently targeted for September 9th, 2026. Seeing it on GOG would *definitely* make me buy it again - to keep it forever instead of just a Steam license tied to a single account Valve may decide to delete or close at any given time.

I own this game on Steam. The feelings of freedom in this game are just incredibles. You explore and find a clearing in the forest, you decide to build a shelter which later become a fort, using a great physic. I don't understand how this game is not on GOG already. It's a standalone indie game, with a dedicated server, able to run for decades (which is a sacred purpose of GOG : Preserve games !). But for whatever reason IronGate don't want to release it on GOG and still want player yo buy a license to play instead of their real game.

Didn't play yet - just watched letsplays. But got inspired by those. Sad it's not on GOG yet. It's pretty minimalistic, yet open-worlded. It's like the Sims but with Vikings and without industrialisation (ergo, better). It's also funny how you can dance with a torch!

A game that just oozes atmosphere. A really immersive viking land that I've easilly spent 1000 hours in and would probably spend even more. One of the best survival game I've ever played.

I have more than 1300 hours on Steam, and I would like to see the game released on here too. That way I could play it without having to open other program to just play one of my all time favorite game from the past few years. I have been following the improvement of the game in the past few years. Playing with friends is always better, but the experience alone can be enjoyable too.

I've spent hundreds of hours with my friends on Valheim, we've laughed a lot, built countless camps, houses, even a cool manor, and frankly, I want to play for even more countless hours. And yes, I'm willing to get it on GOG, because I will support thé game to the end of Time and beyond! And also because I believe in GOG Preservation Program, and I believe a game like Valheim deserves to be played for years and years to come, for what it brings to the table, and the great memories I've had with my friend in Valheim

It is another survival game, a genre that I enjoy. Having play Assassins Creed, Valhalla, I enjoy the Viking theme and would enjoy it in a survival game. I would like to see it on GOG instead of Steam since it allows me to play with grandchildren on my other computer. This looks like a game that will interest the people I play other survival games with also. Hope to see it arrive soon.

I have played this for thousands of hours with friends and made wonderful homes, taverns, and towers. I have one friend who goes hard and makes massive structures that blow my mind everytime. I love my cozy little two story homes and taverns and doing the gardening and cooking. This game has good music and is soothing for lack of a better word.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
