Valheim
A battle-slain warrior, the Valkyries have ferried your soul to Valheim, the tenth Norse world. Besieged by creatures of chaos and ancient enemies of the gods, you are the newest custodian of the primordial purgatory, tasked with slaying Odin’s ancient rivals and bringing order to Valheim. Your trials begin at the disarmingly peaceful centre of Valheim, but the gods reward the brave and glory awaits. Venture forth through imposing forests and snow-capped mountains, explore and harvest more valuable materials to craft deadlier weapons, sturdier armor, viking strongholds and outposts. Build a mighty longship and sail the great oceans in search of exotic lands … but be wary of sailing too far… Key features: Huge procedurally-generated world – explore and inhabit mystical lands, from mysteriousforests to imposing snow-topped mountain ranges and stunning meadows, complete with their own creatures of legend to battle and wildlife to hunt. Co-op PvE (2-10 players) – – Whether you want to brave the lands alone or venture with trusted allies, Valheim supports independent, player-hosted servers and unlimited world creation. We recommend playing co-op with 3-5 players. Punishing dodge & block based combat system with a wide range of weapons Build & sail ships – from flimsy rafts to imposing warships, build legendary vessels to conquer the seas and discover new lands.

This is hardly a game although it provides massive pleasure; it is more of an experience, one that is as highly addictive as it is fun to play. Beware that you can spend hundreds, even thousands of very satisfying hours playing the "game". There's lots to learn yet no book of rules, no specific pathways to take, etc etc.
At my fine old age of 72, I have been playing PC games for longer than most of you have been alive. The first PC adventure-style games consisted entirely of words on a screen and a choice of a few actions. This game is at the extreme in terms of being virtually boundless. Only your creativity, or lack of it, will hold you back.
For me, Valheim is the perfect blend of exploration, building, skill development, resource development, survival and FPS.

Valheim really nails a lot of things that the survival genre sometimes struggles with:
The sandbox gameplay that never rushes you is balanced with a meaningful progression system that keeps you fixed on certain goals and milestones.
Acquiring and consuming better food makes you more capable in combat and exploration, but you will never simply drop dead due to hunger, making sustenance feel more like a reward than a nagging requirement.
The building system is rewarding. Your shelters must be constructed with adequate support and ventilation of smoke in mind, and interior comforts increase the amount of rest you gain, incentivizing you to not just build a house, but a nice house.
You can construct paired portals to fast travel across the map, but certain raw materials cannot be carried through them, which creates interesting logistical choices between shipping materials over long distances by cart or by boat, and building outposts to process and craft your materials closer to where they are mined. Additionally, certain crops can only grow in certain biomes, which further incentivizes setting up multiple bases. Thankfully, the rewarding nature of the building system makes the prospect of building a new base an opportunity rather than a burden.
Like most games in this genre, a good amount of time is spent gathering resources, but the amount you need never seems onerous. It can be time consuming, but this is often because you will get interrupted by monsters drawn to the sound of mining ore and chopping trees, which breaks up what could otherwise be a monotonous task.
And lastly, the game's unique graphical style is gorgeous. Low polygon counts and simple textures free up resources that are spent on beautiful lighting, atmospherics, and color composition.
This type of open-world survival/building game isn't for everyone. It's heavy on atmosphere, but light on story, and there are some routine repetitive tasks involved. But if you've ever enjoyed another game in this genre, or are curious and looking for one to start on, Valheim strikes an amazing balance that accentuates the genre's strengths while minimizing its inherent flaws.

Day 1: Odin says I'm not allowed into Valhalla until I kill his enemies in this limbo-realm on Yggdrasil. His big tiddy goth waifu crow-woman Valkyrie carries me here, but neglects to give me any weapons or clothes. She left. It's raining. I am unhappy.
Day 6: Punching tree hurts. Punching rock hurts more. Made a shelter. Almost suffocated from the smoke because I forgot that fires need chimneys or the building will fill with ash. I punted a dwarf off a cliff. I am less unhappy.
Day 14: Punched a thunder god in the taint, mounted its head on the mantle. My cabin's room temperature is no longer "sit in the fire to be not-cold." I am happy.
Day 24: Explored forest today. Heard a thump. Shadow the size of a house swung a tree at me. It missed, but it hit every tree around me. The trees collapsed. I was underneath them. Woke up naked on an altar. I am very unhappy.
Day 29: Very unhappy that it keeps raining. I want to burn the forest down. Especially the big forest. The big forest is bad.
Day 39: Made bronze, shanked tree, crafted boat. Landed on an island. Island started sinking. Then giant monster came by and ate me. Woke up in bed this time. Boat is now in the middle of the ocean. I am very unhappy.
Day 76: Swamp sucks. Swamp sucks swamp sucks swamp sucks.
Day 93: Note to self: Do not spend night on mountain. Mountain is not friendly. Mountain is sky-swamp at night.
Day 120: Found cool steppe, very sunny, looks comfy. Will scout for base location.
Day 121: Woke up in bed. Ship again stranded leagues away. Have to make third ship. I hate mosquitoes.
Day 264: New island. Nothing but jagged rocks and fog. I hate it here. I hate whatever stupid god made this place. I hate Odin for sending me here. When I get to Valhalla I'm going to find them and punch them.
Day 293: Found magic stick. Am very happy.
Day 346: Have ascended beyond the need for questing. Built a chicken coop and a kennel for my dogs and am content in cozy fortress. Screw Odin. Screw Valhalla. Screw whatever horrible thing keeps making noises in the fog. I'm staying here. I win.
0/10. Developers have not yet invented time travel so that all development time can have already occurred so that I don't need to wait for them to make new things. They refuse to feed my addiction. I am very unhappy.

I was the world's bravest and strongest warrior until some mosquito kicked my ass.

Great game, but if you die an hour via boat away from a spawn point, be ready for the most tilting experience of your life.

Wonderful game! Would love to have some NPCs to populate the towns I've been building.
