I do sort of wonder if they were purposefully waiting to release 1.0 when they could drop on other consoles. I have Valheim on Steam and it feels like the game stagnated in EA for a while.
Maybe stagnated is the wrong term, it just feels like the game overstayed its welcome as an Early Access title. Like it could have and should have released earlier but was intentionally kept in EA for some reason.
It had so much hype when it was announced.
Yea, it's weird seeing the 1.0 announcement. Like cool but my hype for this game died a long time ago.
It was the perfect game for us during the pandemic when we couldn't easily see each other. I think some of its allure was lost after that.
I think it helps that they had a relatively clear road map for 1.0. All the biomes, including Deep North, have spawned on the map since EA launch, and they simply wanted to populate them with content for 1.0.
It definitely was unfinished, and felt like it, for most of its life. They just took forever to update stuff and lost the mindshare it had in the endless sea of survival crafting games. It's been 5 years and they are finally finishing the last zone.
Bought it during COVID and it was AMAZING, even with just three biomes. But Im exhausted.
The updates weren't as impressive. Yes, there was a lot of new stuff. But they took a long time. A really long time. And it didn't feel like they improved on a lot of things, rather than expand on it.
After months after Valheim was released (in early access) V Rising and a bunch of other games also came out (also in early access).
Many of them shipped a 1.0 already, and improved on their early access version greatly.
Heck, Even games inspired by Valheim are nearing the finish line and have better features. Enshrouded is already light-years ahead.
