What to consider
Summarized by AIValheim fans like a crafting and survival world to share with friends, with plenty of building and a bit of danger. Raft, The Forest and Green Hell each shift the setting, Palworld adds creature companions, and Hurtworld pushes toward competitive gunplay, so you can pick which part of Valheim to keep.
Valheim's crafting and building carry over, but you start on a small raft with a hook made of old plastic. Gathering debris lets you expand it, and you sail to forgotten, dangerous islands. It works alone or with friends, and the ocean makes it feel much tighter than a sprawling land map.
Standout features
- Expandable raft
- Island exploration
- Solo or with friends
2. The Forest
Best for Valheim fans who want to build a shelter while something stalks the woods.

This is the scary cousin. You are the lone survivor of a jet crash in a forest where cannibalistic mutants live, and you build, explore and survive in first person. Everything can be chopped down, and a network of caves lies underground. The tone is horror, and the pressure falls on one player's survival.
Standout features
- Cannibal mutant threat
- Choppable trees and plants
- Cave networks to explore
A survival simulation set in the Amazon jungle that leans on realism. You use real-life survival techniques to craft tools, hunt for food and fight off dangers, tend your wounds in an inspection mode and look after your mental health. You can still build a shelter or a fortress, and online co-op carries over from Valheim.
Standout features
- Amazon jungle setting
- Wound inspection mode
- Mental health upkeep
You live alongside creatures called Pals, who can fight for you or work on farms and factories, and you can even sell or eat them. A poaching syndicate adds danger in a harsh world where food is scarce. If Valheim's crafting appeals to you, here it comes with a creature-collector twist and online co-op.
Standout features
- Pals that fight and work
- Factory and farm automation
- Poaching syndicate threat
A hardcore multiplayer survival FPS that puts competitive gunplay and strategic map control up front. You can take on the wilds with friends or alone while gathering and crafting. Compared with Valheim's collaborative exploration, this is the sharper, more combat-driven option, with a community that helped refine it out of early access.
Standout features
- Competitive survival FPS
- Strategic map control
- Gather and craft
