I haven't played Valheim for quite a while, so I'm looking forward to really getting stuck back into it after sinking a lot of hours into the initial Early Access release. Looks like they've got a really healthy player count with a peak of 26,531 in the last 24 hours too!

Valheim has Native Linux support and it's Steam Deck Verified you can buy it on Humble Store or Steam.

I made the mistake of starting to play this game a few months ago, it's damn good and damn gorgeous, and freaking scary entering every new biome.

Now I entered Ashland just last week, and it looks like I'll be done before the last biome is out. How can I survive the wait? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Welcome to my world, been through that since the first release! :)
These changes are really appreciated. I always disliked that farming and cooking were no skills, because i tended to our player base a lot (valheim can be such great comedy with friends). I hope they make fishing a lot more relevant to the gameplay, because fishing in this game is one of the best implementations i have ever played. If you are really hooked, there is some cool "valheim lore explained" videos out there, they made me re-read the Edda even.
