      very sad a lot of items stats dont work or are working wrong like 30% mana gives 30 mana instead , as a fan of games with rpg elements i was sad to find items i used the whole game did nothing , aside from these obvious flaws the game has a loads of good content and the devs obviously put a lot of work into the game engine itself , the engine is literally "groundbreaking " .

      Enjoyed it a decent bit, the base building is fantastic.
      But I'd be lying if the server progression and lack of ingame-text-chat didn't take me aback lol.
      Excited to see how it shapes up. Really hoping for more engaging boss fights for sure. MMO-like boss encounters where the mechanics actually matter for a group and solo people alike would be ace.

      i finished it today ( 5 days took it ) and i must say for an EA game its actualy Pretty good. it has for sure here and there some tiny issues, but by far nothing worse. its for an EA game pretty well done and i´m sure we can expect much more.

      This feels different somehow. It feels more feature complete and fleshed out even for early access. That's not to say it's without fault or couldn't use improvement because it definitely could, however by the transparency of the devs and their advocacy of wanting to hear what the players would like to see added, even going so far as to set up a page to do that very thing with voting support to see what the players really want, I feel like this game will be truly amazing in the next year or so. The immediate things I'd like to see added are the ability to have raids at night if you don't sleep. So the creatures from the shroud come up at night and try attacking your base unless you sleep. And it would be really nice to have little check marks on the map of locations that you've been to and cleared. Some locations do that, but not all and because there are so many points of interest, it gets really confusing trying to remember which ones you've been to.

    This is more what I wanted a coop survival adventure. It's not traditional survival coop and as you say it allows for more personal touches and to me that means less generic. There's a shit ton of the other, glad to see someone bridge the two genre's. You are meant to play together or at least adventure together at all times. That's how I nearly always coop.

    • @cmdr_thrudd
      @cmdr_thrudd 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Totally agree. I think a lot of the pushback from folks is down to it being different and they expect to play more solo-but-with-friends. My friends and I have found that it's great to play together we just organise ourselves a bit more than we would with say Valheim. Most of the stuff can be done solo if you want but there are map progression things we make sure to leave until were all on and play together.

    I feel I need to clear up some misinformation here. Although the game may Mark a particular quest as completed you are most certainly able to play it again regardless if it's been checked off or not. Although I do agree that there could be improvements in this area you will not be locked out. Because this is a voxel based game much like minecraft there are regions for the map that are loaded depending on how close you are. For any particular event to be reset there needs to be two hours with the region unloaded. This could be simply fixed with a server restart. Again I'm not saying that there's not a problem i'm just clarifying that it's not as big of a problem as stated in the video.

  • @dannyw_

    4:40 I feel like this is the best design for a co op setting IMO. If you're playing with the intention of playing cooperatively, individual quest progression kind of takes away from the immersion the group feels when they are doing a quest together. When I'm playing a group terraria playthrough for example, I feel it's common courtesy to not play while not everyone is on as it makes people feel as though they are playing catchup, maybe that's just me. Also, I'd personally rather not deal with the "oh did the quest complete for you" situation and just have it complete for everyone at the same time (considering we are all doing the quest together). If you want solo quest progression just... play solo? Or at least make it an option when creating the world. More accessibility options is always better than on or off by default.

    Thank you for the feedback on the game. I've been looking at this one and honestly, I'm not sure I'll bite unless they make an adjustment to the co-op questing. I know its not the worst thing in the world, but all I can think about is Valheim. I'd get online for a Valheim server and someone will have beaten the next boss. Then a higher level raid would destroy my base due to that next boss being beaten. Aside from that the game looks amazing!

    I've played pretty much the whole game with a friend, and the coop is still a good experience, as long as you wait for each other and do things together. Side quests can still be done regardless if they've been done or not, just the main quests that are server sided. I have about 60h os game time, and only a few main quests left to complete, but I'm already at the current max level. So if you're looking at the price/game ratio, this game has it in spades. But yeah, is less of a survival game, and more of a Zelda:BotW game with lots of cool crafting and building on top. The world design is definetly this game strongest point.

    A tip: Find a wide flat spot to build a base. Since you can fast travel to it, the location doesn't matter. Several days into flattening ground, I decided that a lawn is overrated.

    I think your gripe about the co op limitation is understandable, but for small group of co-op its actually decent. I play with 2 other friends and if/when only 1 is able to play, the two of us would spend the night gathering resources, continuing to build and improve our base and generally hold off on any quest completion. It isnt the best of course, but i think its up to the play group to sorta work around things and find meaningful ways to enjoy the game together

    Its a good detailed review, but i think talking about 'released' and not even _once_ mention that it is in Early Access, Until the very end of the video. and such this is early in the game development and there will be atleast a year of continued work on Enshrouded. Ive seen other reviews that also seems to omit/forget/skip that its not yet _released_ as such as its finished, but early. access. ^^

      That's fair! Thank you for the feedback :) I'll try to factor it into my intro in future.
      I suppose the reason for me is that "Early Access" doesn't mean much to consumers these days. When it hits Steam, it hits Steam. Regardless of whether it's EA or a finished product, that's the first impression everyone will get. Does that make sense? I'm just reviewing the product as it is right now, and I hope they continue to develop it into an even better experience so that I can come back later to update! :D

    I am quite happy with the developers so far. They managed to release a nearly big free open beta that by itself is already enjoyable, plus they let the community decide what they want. It is such a nice contrast compared triple A developers. For me the motivating aspect is the building and for me it is worth the bucks for the building system alone. They set a really nice base for a fun survival game.

    I honestly can’t put my finger on why exactly it didn’t work for me. Breath of the Wild is my favorite game, and I love survival crafting games. This seems like a slam dunk for me, but for some reason I just haven’t been enjoying it. It has all the right elements, but they just don’t seem to really fit together to make a fun or meaningful game. I’m hoping it will get a lot better and have more story, etc and I can come back to it later when it’s more developed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    It is yet another decorative base building game with progression in building materials through combat and exploration. To make things worse, building is neither required nor awarded in any way. 3x3 box with all you comfort items and a bed is enough. NPCs don't mind to chill outside in the rain and mud along with all the chests and workbenches. Crafting is as simple and straightforward as it can be. Combat is fun but shallow and repetative. Exploration is where trhis game trully shines. Good landscapes, good lore, good level designs etc. Fully destructive environment is also a big plus but it resets outside your base influence area after relog. So if you like Sims but miss combat - it is the game for you.

And you do have to remember that it’s early access and have plenty of time to hear the feed back and work out all the kinks. But this game in my opinion is amazing.

    "On the larger topic of group play, we wanted to specify a couple of already existing systems geared towards group experience. First off, playing in a group increases the chances that chests and bosses will contain bonus loot. There was a bug affecting this feature, which is now fixed.
    Enemy strength also scales with group size. This means enemies become more challenging when facing groups, without becoming punching bags." the devs in a post on steam. still the idea enemies only focus on one person, and aren't really equipped to fight multiple at a time or that the game is on the easier side with no difficulty settings is upsetting.

Base building is fantastic but could use a couple small tweaks.

    Despite being very excited about this game, almost every early access game nowadays gets abandoned, so i'm not buying until official release.

      I'm not sure it's fair to say it's been abandoned, but I get what you're saying. Early Access titles are very much an "unknown" that we have to be 100% okay with when we purchase. Otherwise, best just to hold off.

This is the number one reason why survival genre games are not often played by a huge portion of the gaming community. The building in enshrouded is better than anything I've seen in the countless survival games ive played. With it being early access, it is well on its way to being a top tier game.

      There is no reason for you to build a "pretty" base. But you do need to place your crafting stations/NPCs somewhere and they do require a roof. Also, you get a buff (Rested) which has a longer duration if you put stuff like furniture in your base. You can however just cram it all in one corner and it will still give you the buff. The base will not be raided and is in no danger of being destroyed ever.

    To me Co-op means exactly what the devs did. You play with players and progress together. I tend to play survival games like this, we all build one base, we kill the bosses together and we progress together. However, everyone can get the loot which you can't do here.
    But it's completely fair that people want a multiplayer experience that isn't necessarily always co-op.
    And I also find that the difficulty in general is a bit too easy. In essence you hit something until it is stunned and then you finish it. I hope they will add some depth to it, beyond making enemies health sponges.

    I’ve been playing coop for a week and I can honestly say this is the most pure FUN I’ve had in a game for a very long time. There’s ALWAYS something to seem do or build…and base building is very satisfying, my inner child and Lego builder have been set free again.
    The world is beautiful to look at, wonderfully diverse and it sounds are fantastic and immersive, whether it’s a hooting owl in the stillness of the night, the howl of a wolf, the slobbering grunt of a monster or the serene and beautiful background music.
    This is EASILY the best 27€ I’ll spend all year and in all likelihood will be the best game I’ll play all year. For this price, and with this much fun to be had, I’d strongly encourage any fence sitters to dip a toe.

    It's not expensive right now, or wasn't (I haven't checked the price lately). At that price it's definitely worth it. I spent about 70 hours building a medium sized home and about 95% finishing the game for around $29. 1/3 of the map is finished so there is a LOT to be added in the future. Having finished it though it does feel kind of lifeless. It needs something. Not sure what. And definitely needs some tweaks, but it's EA. Extremely solid launch for an EA. Any serious bugs were smashed damn near immediately on launch.
