What made Valheim one of the biggest games of steam

The game might feel a bit unoptimized at the moment, as it is still in the developmental process. Despite being a work in progress, it has not come in the way of selling out a million copies in over a week’s time.

It has also attracted over 160K concurrent players, while a peak 127K concurrent viewers enjoyed the title on Twitch. These numbers are impressive for an indie developer that is not backed by a massive budget.

The primary reason that makes this game so special is its simplicity, which makes it an easy game to learn. Everything is pretty straightforward, you get a few character models to choose from, then you will be subjected to the extremities of the wild. You will have to build your settlement, hunt for animals, and cook it up to survive each day.

Players can build houses, and repairing items does not cost resources, and the building aspect is straightforward. It is not a graphics-intensive game, which makes it viable for most users. Moreover, hunting for resources and seeing your settlement evolve makes it one of the most rewarding experiences.

The title also comprises mighty monsters, the massive sea monster Kraken, and other mythological creatures that rule their terrain. These sentient beings serve as the main storied quests that you need to unravel by slaying each aforementioned being.
