Valheim puts players in the shoes of a dead Viking, trying to survive in purgatory and prove their worth to gain entry to Valhalla. However, players don’t have to go it alone and can join their friends to explore and survive together. One of the best ways to do this is via a dedicated…

You can play Valheim solo if you choose, but there’s a lot to be said for the co-op experience. The game supports up to ten people in multiplayer, and travelling to purgatory with a whole Viking clan on your side can certainly be a great help.

Whether you’re building a settlement from the ground-up or facing off against nightmarish bosses loosely inspired by Norse mythology (only much scarier), teaming up with other players means more people working to solve the problem.
