Valheim

After Blizzard announced its new untitled survival game in a new universe, we've seen some confusion circulating about what a survival game is, exactly.

Ah, to be a dead viking, rafting on the water, probably about to get eaten by a sea monster and lose everything. It’s odd, because there are certain things about this game that are undeniably breathtaking and beautiful. The way the light glimmers red on the water as the last sliver of sun sinks slowly past the horizon, for instance, or the way the game plays with depth of field to make you feel truly immersed in the landscape. But my god does my character look like a two-polygon potato.

This is The Queue, where you ask questions and we break our summery escapism and wrap ourselves in a few dozen blankets to get you the answers.
