I mean there's barely swimming, so I'm not too upset. There are still the sea serpents and chitin creatures to find.

Aaand this is the gamble of buying early access.

I played the game with a friend years ago and it was a great experience for the price. Buying early access on promises is a gamble. If you buy the game for what it is I don't see the issue.

Ehh... Im not sure it was a gamble in this case. Valheim was pretty complete in its early access form when I bought it like nearly 5 years ago. It also has overwhelmingly positive reviews. I think it's also delivered more than its original roadmap, which wasn't much past mistlands.

They stated it will still receive bug fixes, just perhaps no new content.

I think I paid $20 for it and I feel I got my money for it, even though I haven't even played it since before the mistlands update released. I plan on firing it up again after the deep north 1.0 releases and imagine having a lot of fun with it.

While I agree that Vahiem is a great value proposition and a lot of fun, IronGate's first roadmap clearly stated that the ocean biome was going to get its own update.
