I've Played 50 Hours of Enshrouded - Review

One thing I like about you is that you get right to the point. No clickbait bs. Your first sentence told me exactly what I wanted to know. I stayed because you give a good unbiased, in-depth review. Well done.

[@vagkalosynakis]

Yup. Whenever a new game is coming out, I'm coming straight to Force for a good review/overview to decide if I like it or not. The other videos coming out on the channel, like rumors, game announcements and general gaming news, are just extra content that I would happily consume.

By looking at the thumbnail, the title, and the first 10 seconds I already got everything, and im hooked so I will stay and hear what he thinks about it. Where MMOByte uses shit clickbaity thumbnails, no identification of the game in the title, and will always wait until the last fucking minute of his videos to give you what you came to watch.

@TorryVibes they are unfinished content and otherwise they aren't worth 30 imo my steam library is full of games just like these that are fun the first 30 hrs then content runs dry and you quit playing (most people anyway) only time will tell with these but I don't support early access anymore it's not done properly 90% of the time. Games should be 1 maybe 2 years away from content complete before going ea imo instead devs use that shield for 5- 10 years sometimes or longer looking at you 7d2d

[@Lusterredux]

​​​@@realname2490Palworld is fairly feature complete. Sure, after 50-60hrs the content runs dry, but... It cost $26. Anyone that ACTUALLY played Palworld would say it's not your usual EA title, in that there's little that feels unfinished or missing. Also, your statement that people have moved on from the game doesn't line with actual real world metrics that shows it's still being actively played. Just because you don't care for a game, doesn't mean your experience mirrors the entirety of the rest of the gaming community. Data and facts > "feels". As for 7D2D, that game could've been considered finished years ago, and the developers could've moved on. Instead, they update and remake the game every so often because they have some sort of OCD, and you get a refreshed game every so often to revisit. All of this for the $4-5 you can find 7D2D for nowadays (if not cheaper). There are plenty of scammy/lazy EA games, but Palworld & 7D2D are not that. People get so hung up on the EA tag, but it doesn't mean anything for some games (another example of a game that's early access but a nearly feature complete title is Project Zomboid).

[@DustinHarms]

Great summary, and great feedback. Can't agree more. Enshrouded is honestly the mix of genres that I've been waiting for for so long - and Valheim got so close (still love Valheim), but didn't quite get there for me. This is exactly it. For being in EA, I can't believe how...much there is. I very much look forward to Keen Games finishing this project up and fixing the little hiccups and issues for a full release.

[@wickian9571]

The biggest flaw in the game right now is that the devs put so much effort into the world and exploration that most of the animations feel clunky and the ui/inventory management is bad. Add that to building only having 90 degree turns and the combat feeling very forced,, I would say it's a 7 or 8/10 game at best. If those things get polished this could be an amazing game, but right now it only shines as an exploration game.

[@prototype8137]

​​@@wickian9571youre kind of mixed up. Thats not the reason why. Animation is the most expensive aspect of making a game. Youre not going to see great animations in a game like this. Also if a game dev is doing their job right animation is one of the very last things you implement. Because things change during development.

How is having a character not move their arms and have them lay limp when they jump their entire body height, having a strange back waddle animation while jogging or expecting a torch to be held pointing up and not forward exactly like the 1h club even considered good? I'd call those nitpicks below the bar for even an early access.

Thank you on behalf of the people, we are already over 30 and we don't want more responsibilities than daily ones, instead a place to relax and have a good time. Be careful, that touch of action also pushes us forward in the game, it is an excellent extra.

I'm just about to pass the 40 hour mark myself with this game, and I'm genuinely still blown away by the overall quality of a game that's still in early access. We have a map that's already bigger than most other open world maps, and each area has some level of care/attention given to it. For anyone who's curious, the full map size is looking like it'll be 8000m X 8000m (~25 square miles). The devs also stated that the base terrain shape was randomly generated and populated afterwards - which is a great example of AI/RNG tools being used to save on development time.

[@libertas5005]

Can you dig tunnels and create underground base? I just want to build a mining network of tunnels and employ people in it

[@BuioPestato]

Got it right now, tried the demo some time ago and was blown away. People are complaining about it not being very optimized and requiring a lot of GPU. Yes graphics are heavy and not all cards and PCs can handle this, but if they do, it's well worth it. Multiplayer seems to be bugged at launch, guess they will fix is soon. Despite the launch problems, it still looks like one of the best indi games released recently to me.

[@daemonthorn5888]

The problem is,there's no reason for people's cards to not be able to "handle" this game. There is nothing groundbreaking or special about these graphics. The problem is that the game is very poorly optimized. Many reports of 3090s and 4070s struggling and that's ridiculous. I have a 3060 ti and can't even think of a game that I can't play due to graphics being too "heavy". These days,if you at least have a Nvidia 30 series card or equivalent, you should be able to play anything you want. If you can't run something due to graphics,it's the games fault. Assuming the rest of your system matches your card, of course.

[@sonoftristram]

@@daemonthorn5888 the problem isn't the graphics being to heavy, it's because it's a Voxel based game which are known for being very GPU lasting. It also is early access with a lot more optimisation coming down the road.

Able to continue farming/exploring/crafting without furthering the chain in the multiplayer game is also a huge plus.

i very rarely have the urge to explore an open world in video games. but enshrouded is one of the view that manages to intrigue me like that. seeing a tower or building far away in this game rises the question in me what might be there. its really cool to experience that

[@vormarsch]

Thanks for the awesome in-depth review Double-jump debate again haha They probably try to stay true to RPG mechanics where a weak mage or bulky warrior simply can't do it like a nimble guy in light armor. But it's there to pick if you prefer that playstyle nonetheless.

Wow this is a fantastic and comprehensive review and overview of the game. Glad I found your channel.

[@kpalexander32able]

A virtual reality version of the game would look great with this artwork.

[@JDReC100]

if PalWorld can have VRmods, its only a matter of time before Enshrouded does

[@moroblizniak4457]

23:47 New World had the same issue with cheesing mobs. They implemented ''retreat'' state. Basically, when server detect that player is unreachable for a mob, mob gain total immunity to damage, restore health to 100 and just go back to basic position. I wonder if this kind of system would help here and if its even needed.

[@bopqw1055]

i didn't even realize it released with all the other talk i guess you can say it got "enshrouded" by palworld

[@soulminiatures7387]

I found the Balance between Exploration, Combat and basebuilding to be very enjoyable. The First few hours a build a very rudimentary Base but After i unlocked the Carpenter and a few better looking blocks i started to build a little Village for my npcs. While i was waiting for more planks to be produced i would go exploring and gathering more ressources to continue building and to beautify my Village. I really really Like it.

It's like Valheim with good graphics and a dev team that won't disappear and leave the game half finished.

[@surkles3780]

In case it hasnt been noted, the building system is the best I've used in any survival game... Your only limitations is the #x#x#x three dimensional space provided by your flame altar. There is no aupport integrity so you can build floating stair cases etc.. you can also use the construction hammers terrain blocks to "remove" the natural land in your flame altar cubic dimension making it very easy to create tunnels/basements/flat landscapes.

Palword and Enshrouded carried this month, look at them being $20 games and still great games

@@BROOKLYNBORN1994 Idk. It may be as different as it wants, but as soon as someone that doesn't know much about it or about both hears they're both survival genre, unless they really love survival games, they'll probably just try the more popular one without looking at the details of either.

[@austinkreider4916]

I mean I think the double jump not being standard speaks of the game’s willingness to let you make your own character. It can be as easy or as difficult as you want and for roleplay it would be good as well

It is a shame the playthrough is the same for everyone. The randomness of Valheim is a blast and when you invite friends, your world if different than theirs which makes it even more engaging.

I played Valheim recently. I couldn't understand how can you make a game in which falling down a small building I just built or going NEARBY a campfire I just made can severly injure me / kill me...

100% gonna buy this after i played enough palworld :D + if i buy enshrouded later maybe we already got some updates

[@SirLurkington]

Hits every point I can think of. The only main issue I have is zero voice acting. If the various scrolls and lore stuff was voice-read and the NPCs read their lines, this game would be exponentially more appealing. Cost would go way up tho. Hell, if they enable mod support and people want to mod voice lines, that could be a work around. Would be lots of work tho.

[@jimmylm9894]

Being able to cheese enemies fairly easily takes away any sense of danger. Unfortunately, that's a deal breaker for me. Part of the joy of exploration are the dangers that could lurk around the corner. Maybe I'll check this out after some updates, but rn I'm going to hold on it. Edit: He showed himself cheesing in this game just by using a bow on an elevated platform. I guess I don't use range weapons or be on an elevated platform. Balance looks terrible.

[@JangoDripDrop]

Then don't cheese them? What do you even mean can you not control yourself and go into auto cheese mode or something?

[@RealGuyPerson]

Or... don't cheese. Almost every open world game has a way to cheese enemies. It really does come down to you on how you'll play it out.

[@Bird.droppings]

Sounds like when the world rolled your character stat sheet, you got -3 willpower. You can choose to not use the "cheese" methods and have it in your back pocket if things get too hairy.

Game was immensely fun, friends and I took some time off and put about 50 hours into it and did just about everything in the game that has been released at this point.

[@InternetPwnDept]

I agree with most of what you stated. Exploration is a lot of fun, definitely. Melee combat has a decently fluidity to it, but my wands seemed to pass through the majority of the mobs I hit. The bow is decent as well. I found the character customization lacking a bit, but that wasn't a deal-breaker. No eye color option made me frown a bit, but slap on a hood or helmet and you're soon forget all about it. Initially, I found building to be a bit limited with no 45° shaped objects for more immersive shapes. All in a all, it's a decent game, but the price does tend to give it a bit of an advantage because you're not going to break the bank, yet will sure to have hours of fun.

[@dupre7416]

If the trees don't fall and kill me then I don't think I'm interested.

22:18 Are we sure it was "built from the ground up with co-op in mind"? This is the game's biggest complaint with how server-based quests work, unless you do everything together at all times over the entire duration of the playthrough

[@Chemike21]

I play an extremely moded version of skyrim with many hardcore survival mods and mechanics. I use a lot of extreme difficulty enhancing mods, and I've put a few thousand hours into the game. I havn't found anything to grab my attention compared to what I've got. Maybe I'll give this a go. I also have a mod that doesn't push you into reloading the game every time you die, but instead uses up recourses. I have it set to Use grand soul gems filled with grand souls every time you die to respawn on the spot (all enemies go to full hp). If you run out of grand soul gems, you start being charge 15% of all your gp to respawn. If you run out of gp, you are charged dragon souls to respawn, if you run out of those, you get charged perk points, if you run out of those your levels become to go down randomly. This makes the game so much more fluid and actually gives you a reason to collect gp dragon souls grand soul gems etc. With extreme difficulty, you will need all of them to get through some of the harder dungeons. I also have quite a few mods that randomize the game every time you start a new playthrough which makes replaying the game a different experience every time. Such an amazing experience.
