What is different about this one?

Nevere heard of it until it appeared on steam front page.

What does this game do that your other Enshroudeds, Valheims and other do not?
Not hating, genuinely curious what (if anything) makes this game different. Not better or worse, that's subjective, just different

[Das Trojanische Pferd]

The Runescape lore and the skilling probably but the skilling still has a long way to go until it's properly baked

I had the same question this morning and since started playing.
My take is that it's a bit more streamlined than both which is more to my liking. It feels more like stats / number clicker type game in terms of progression - the more you do something the more you get better at doing that thing and can then do more of it type thing (at least with basic skills)

Crafting is fairly nicely done as well.

Any crafting / survival game will have all the same tropes so you aren't exactly missing anything by skipping this one for now.

The one thing it does that stands out is its use of magic. You farm rune-stones and then craft certain runes that enable you to perform various spells many of which are useful in speeding up resource gathering.

Other than that the main draw is Runescape universe / vibes.

The only real different thing it has is rune powers. Abilities you unlock by leveling skills that add to combat or qaulity of life. Besides that it feels like a low budget Enshrouded
