I hate Keen-Games now officially ..
.. for having to spend so many nights in game, because i'm getting addicted to it.
Never had an early access or demo game that itself felt so complete - even more complete and less bugs than most full price games.
Long time since i had so much fun with just exploring and terrainforming - and both together; you can't reach your destination? Just start singing a digger song and equip your pickaxe. Which is another reason for addiction.
I can not even understand why ppl that do not own this game start hating; it's kind of (Valheim meets Conan Exiles meets Borderlands meets another-fancy-game) + Deluxe.

Surely there are some bugs, some translation issues, but this is an early access game and a blast of a game which many others could learn many lessons from (trying not to look at Funcom).

I personally hope that there will never be mounts, that the existing combat system never changes - maybe dualwielding would be cool.

My only wish atm is that i am soon able to reach a higher level than 25 and explore more of the world. Gliding and running through the orange wall hurts a bit, but as most time: no reasonlable damage done. Pick up your stuff and go on ;)

What i really love is, that the game behaves like said in the video: Make it your own and play it your way.

Thanx Keen Games!

PS: plz don't tell me about playing co-op is crap; we (me and my honey-bunny) play it 5 minutes after the game was able to be purchased and the download was done in P2P coop and it simply works.
Workaround for questprogress: just open all the chests that are quest relevant together so that both of you have the chest-inventory open seems to work.

This. 100%.

I think Enshrouded is fantastic and I can't wait to play it with the next character... and the next... to enjoy the growing game world and explore the story further. Even the notes found in the world are worth reading (actually, it's a bit mean to find such long texts in the shroud, but at least you can read them later :-D ), the side quests are always a nice distraction from following the main story too single-mindedly.

I love the little details - the flowers and plants that don't turn into repetitive wallpaper patterns when you grow them, the beautiful colors of the stripes when you glide with the glider ... and so much more.

What I can't understand are the complaints that the battles are too easy. Hello, we're playing Enshrouded, not Dark Souls or anything like that! Personally, I like it the way it is. My character will fall over if I'm stupid, and I'll be punished for not paying attention, but if I'm on my game, the enemies are beatable. I also like not having to click my way through crazy key combinations or study for years to understand the skill tree, but still having a good selection of possible skill paths.

Of course there are some rough edges, but hopefully most of them will be fixed, honed and - with a lot of love - polished.
After all, we are talking about a game that has just been released in Early Access - and yet it is already better than many AAA games sold as "finished".

Dear Keen Games team,
please keep up the good work! Don't let the naysayers discourage you - they always find their own fly in the ointment anyway ;-).

Thanks for a great game!


((And a big thank you to my husband, who tirelessly comes to my aid in the game as well as in real life ;-*) ))
