A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Valheim. Not really patient, because the release date was last week, but early access was already five years ago.

I played early access 5yr ago, it was pretty amazing even then. Has it changed enough to get back in and check it out?

It feels pretty similar for me. I last played 3-4 years ago. I've barely got to the forest and its the first time I've seen bears, so I guess that's new. There are also some pretty cool animated cut scenes.

The earlier biomes are not that different, though there are some new enemies and a couple of new npcs. Most of the new content is in the biomes that didn't exist yet when early access came out.
