#gaming #gamereviews #enshrouded - Hry
I played about 30 hours across 4 demo saves during Steam Nextfest. The thing that hooked me was the voxel building, both additive and reductive uses for it. The ability to make an incredibly detailed hovel or cathedral with custom cutouts and addons to the premade tile sets has me way too excited lol. I want them to add round doors so i can fulfill my hobbit home fantasy.
Thank you for being the only channel I know where titles makes sense.
Woo! Played for about 3 hours yesterday and it was pretty fun. Very Valhiem with other systems
Same I got to put in 4 hours 😭. Loving it
Kinda funny how destructible environments are still considered niche when red faction over two decades ago had it. They called it geomod or whatever.
good memory
Red faction was the shit, me and my brother used to spend ages fighting eachother, using missiles to create tunnels in the walls of the map and sneak up on eachother, no heat sensing weapons allowed as you'd see through the walls
I remember the unicorn shit thrower.
Red faction is the fucking goat
Battlefield Bad Company 2, anybody?
Thanks for covering this! I find the best games because you introduce them.
Enshrouded allows you to "climb up" almost any wall, but it takes effort - by mining out a "staircase" to get up a cliff. Its quite satisfying without being overpowered. Dont forget to bring multiple pickaxes in case their break while mining.
don't really like survival games but I like they are getting more rpg elements
Thanks for the video. It sounds impressive. One of the most important aspects of sandboxes is how you can move around. It seems like this title, at least for right now, is embracing that concept. Onward to 300k. All glory to the algorithm.
I picked it up yesterday and I'm having an absolute blast so far. The combat is basic but engaging and the building is very easy to pick up.
@@Wizard_Pikachu Huh?
This appears as I am downloading the game. Excellent! Looking forward to giving it a try
I dont really like survival games but I took a gamble on this one because it has a hand crafted world and quests. (I often feel aimless in games like valheim, get bored, and quit) and boy oh boy am i glad i got it. The whole gameplay loop is super solid. Crafting, delving into the shroud, fighting a boss on a timer, returning with loot, building up yohr base more, then adventuring in a different direction is fantastic.
I like that the survival aspects are toned down a but and that structures dont need upkeep, i also found the building tool incredibly powerful anf easy to use compared yo valhiem. I absolutely hated the building in valhiem because i could never get it to do what i wanted.
Enshrouded is the first survival game ive ever played thag i will finish or put significant time into. I think it comes down to it being 50% a exploration action adventure rpg, and 50% a survival game. They hit the sweet spot on blending breath of the wild and valhiem. It’s brilliant.
Looks interesting, but I will wait for the full release. Thanks for the video.
Solid video, keep up the great work. On another note I see you've now sunk over 30-hours into Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth on Steam. I have mine on pre-order and am looking forward to playing it today. It'll be my first Like A Dragon game so I'm pumped.
Every game in that series is a gem imo have fun and take your time, your in for a wild ride :D.
I'm interested in it, but I do hope NPC allies will appear at some point if not already. Big sucker for that in Conan Exiles! To the point I made the game a bit too easy.
Still, very interesting! Thanks for your video Mort!
One of my most anticipated games this year !
This seems like a good fun with friends, something I lack 😅
One of the things I love about enshrouded is how the world is handcrafted, rewards exploration, and isn't full of complex esoteric mechanics. It also doesn't require a massive time commitment. You can drop in for 1-2 hours and have a rewarding experience. It's a wonderful game and really has a open world worth exploring.
Dude I was literally looking at the steam page and your notification popped up. Very interested in this game
First non biased review on my feed. Thanks for sharing.
Reminds me of valheim in that at launch in early acces is already a very big and featured game
Played a little bit yesterday, feels like more of an action rpg game than a survival craft game. Some pretty interesting systems that I think can evolve into something really awesome.
This!
I think Everquest Next or Landmark was interesting with the building and destruction.
My friends and I are enjoying this game very much. Solo or multiplayer is very enjoyable.
great video as usual!
I bought this day one. It's fun as hell and keeps getting better!!!
I'm six hours in and totally in love. There's a lot to it but it's all simplified. Good shit.
This game reminds me a lot of Outward. My problem with Outward was the time you waste running around and engaging with almost every aspect of the gameplay in that game, everything just takes a lot of time. But I still liked some aspects of that game. I wonder if this game is like that but without the massive time investment. What do you think, are they comparable?.
Yeah the demo has me excited.
VERY good game, more people should try it!
I know Palworld stole this game's thunder but I'll probably pick up this one next because the building mechanics actually look fun.
For the algorithm!
I'm a simple man. I see a Mortismal video, I click.
I hope you try Paleworld too!
Oh damn, finally a new game by the Portal Knights developers. When Mort placed down the blacksmith NPC in the base, I immediately thought of how Portal Knights allows you to do something similar, and then wonder why those guys hadn't made a new game since then -- very happy to then realize they in fact made this 😅
I felt intrigued, but 5 crashes in the first 30mins of the demo had me toss it back in the sea.
They should've delayed this game by atleast a month, Palworld is taking the spotlight.
Yeah, couldn’t have released at a worse time.
You can say the game got enshrouded by palworld
You had me at diggy hole
Good show sir
Looks good!
Ended up picking this up. Very fun!
looks neat
I am finding this generally enjoyable, even solo. While it can be easy to get caught in a highly repetitive environmental death-loop in areas of the shroud, death is, itself rather light on consequences. You keep everything in your two hotbars and equiped on you and any ammo stacks as well so you'll at least never be without means to take care of yourself when getting back to the site of your death. No carry weight is also nice when doing mining/tunneling. As things sit right now, my only consistent complaint is the somewhat slow leveling flow and skill points feeling never enough to get moving. (You leveled up, yay... but the skill point you got is still not enough to get the next skill node. Better get hunting more roots)
0:40 sudden desire to buy this 👀
Running a 2060 Nvidia GeForce and can barely get steady 60 frames. Also sunsets in the game just tank frames. Hopefully we see some optimization for it soon because it is really interesting.
Valheim 2 looks fire!! 🔥🔥🔥
Looks like it hits the Souls Like & ARPG notes I like. Hope the base building elements can be skipped with templates tho. I'm trying not to be cynical about why minecraft mechanics might be included into this type of game.
unfortantly for me the game ran at over 100fps but felt it was running at 30-40fps which just isnt good. Ill keep my eye on this and see if patches will fix this issue.
Checked this out on the steam forums and they don't allow posts, which always seems INCREDIBLY shady to me
Would love to see how this compares to Nightingale - definitely please don't 100% it! - it looks like a more stylish Enshrouded set in gaslamp steampunk faerie shinanigans.
Sounds like its a ALMOST an exact copy of valheim as far as the overall feel and game-play goes. Kind of like when you have 2 different D&D based games. Both have their own style and graphics but are very similar in how they tackle combat and gameplay loops. They are even following the same type of early access as valheim with releasing a core game then adding in areas over time.
I get this Valheim and Outward had a baby vibe off this game lol
Enshrouded is great
Doesn't seem like my kind of thing but it does look pretty fun at the same time... anyways appreciate you covering it :)
I wish I could run this game with my potato laptop, guess I have to wait for the ps5 release at some point
4k resolution was running 45fps 😢 I had to drop everything to low and 80% scaling 😢
Remember when you were playing Dark Souls and you said to yourself “If only I had to grind materials to make a base”?!
It'll make a quick buck appealing to this crowd which always explode onto the "new, best" survival crafting game before allowing it to disappear into obscurity and returning to their favorite flavor of Minecraft
Or when you were thinking "if only this dark, atmospheric user interface would be replaced with a soulles(npi), generic mobile game style interface".
palworld has scratchrd my itch for now
A couple questions:
1) How is the single-player experience?
2) Do you need to build your base defensively with functionality in mind or is it more just a creative expression thing?
1) Good measurement for singleplayer is pacing. You're gating the content to your own pace, as it's only you discovering, if that's what you prefer. Isn't awfully grindy, either.
- Combat's a bit more challenging on your lonesome and you can't be as risky/ballsy with higher level enemies without a few extra skill/item investments.
2) No defensive capability required so far. The only dependant functionality is dolling your place up; the more furniture the longer your rested bonus lasts - sitting around 40 mins atm.
I hope you and your son are doing well Morty son ❤💀
Everyone mentions valheim but to me this sounds like third person action terraria
waiting for the console drop
I've played it for about 9 hours so far and... ehh.
It's very fun at first, but my biggest complaints are that it gets very repetitive (enemies, etc)., and the world feels very empty. Also, there's no water, so all of the places to actually build a base feel the same.
I bought it 5 seconds after it released
dope
Gronk!
Wow an early access survival RPG. Never seen one of those before
I can finally build a house that looks normal!
Bro you should try palworld
A palworld video died for this
Sounds ambitious and fun! Hope they pull it off for the final product. And thanks to all you QA testers going in to early access now to help make a better game later!
I might buy this game for "a game before dragons dogma 2 released". Its between Enshrouded or Palworld. I just think i would get bored faster in Palworld compared to this game. Anyone tried both?
I loved Palworld and got around 55 hours out of it to map the world and cap every pal. I've only got a handful of hours into Enshrouded but it seems like it may have more depth to keep you entertained longer.
You can go deep with the breeding and optimization in Palworld but there's zero point to it right now cause there's no challenging endgame to tackle yet. Definitely worth a month's sub to ganepass on PC though.
Palworld was created by devs who have not finished their last game called Craftopia.
Enshrouded was created by devs who took ideas from other games, but ignored the lore and reasons for their existence.
Neither game should be bought.
@@spankyjeffro5320 they're both relatively cheap and palworld is free if you already have game pass, but I mean I'd honestly be ok with playing for it even if I didn't. I've had a lot of fun with it as it currently is. I'd say I got my money's worth already, even if they don't finish it. Gonna get Enshrouded this weekend. I don't care what the devs have done or are gonna do, if it's a good game as is then it shouldn't matter.
I've played both. Enshrouded I only have 7 hours in and I seem to be getting bored. The game has a certain dreary, realistic aesthetic that grows stale and while exploration is a thing, I find that it's already growing repeititve and uninteresting. The house building mechanics are insane in terms of how custom you can get, but I feel lonely in this game coming from Palworld.
Palworld I have around 55 hours in. It's more "fun" (if you want to use that term) and has a certain hilarity to it, so there's more laughs to be had. The base building leaves a lot to be desired for a survival game (there's a severe dearth of foundational building blocks), however, the Pals balance this by adding a level of life and companionship to a genre that is typically: You are all alone in your base...." Pals mine, harvest, fight, run around --- they are fun to manage, fun to collect, fun to check out all their abilities. I'd like to see more survival games take this concept, where you can setup companions/slaves/whatever to automate many of the systems you yourself have to waste time doing. Rather than sit and cook meat myself for 4 mins, let me just have my Pals do it for me, while you instead focus on maintaining/building the base and assigning tasks and watching out for their morale and working conditions.
Neither game is bad nor great, they are both enjoyable in their own right but it's a shame both are "early access" and will likely never be finished. I'd like to see what games look like when they are actually completed. The sad truth is that even when these early access titles do finish (assuming they ever do) most players have moved on by then and would never return to see whatever features are added. This is why if a company is making you pay for a game and calling it "Early Access" than in my book that game is officially released. Anything else is just content updates over time, either at cost or for free. Anyway, I digress.
I think Nightingale will be the real winner of the forthcoming survival "early access" titles. To me, it looks to have the best gameplay, graphics, features, and overall innovation to what's become a rather stale genre, and seems to have the most solid development team (lot of former old-school Bioware people, IRRC). And who knows how Dune will turn out, if it ever turns out.
@@SlickMajestic best commentary I've seen on both games.
So, it's baeically Conan Exiles + New World?
This looks very similar to Outward.
I think the same thing while playing it. Aesthetically, the graphics and strange stunted character models reminded me exactly of Outward. Combat in this game is cleaner, though.
That's what I told myself yesterday lmao, the character model and the movement looks a lot like Outward, except you can jump
@@Playful2504 Glad I'm not the only one, haha. I think it fit Outward well. I'm not sure it fits this game. The character models in this game are not pleasing nor flattering. Strange decision. They are like a demi-human-dwarf-halfling (and ugly to boot).
Shame the map is static.
Game is really fun , however there is a issue with the game engine where it runs at 60hz no matter the fps. Makes the game feel a little laggy but they said that they are going to address it.
Yeah, I noticed this too. My frames will be 70-90 constantly but the game has a lag/stutter to it that has nothing to do with frames. It makes you believe it's a FPS issue, but it's not. Good to see they'll be addressing it, as it's my main complaint.
Very 'Valheim' for sure... except it's a 'static' map.
More Ark Survival like and that other new game Palworld(not played yet).
Hopefully they stick to a prebuilt world since it makes it easier and accessible for more players to play BUT some how in the near future.. incorporate procedural generated maps. Be it from modders or not. Replayability through exploring to me is important and already knowing the best places to build/farm/hunt etc.. is a turn off. It's one reason why I also prefer 'Iron Man mode' in games.. death usually means 'start over' and means finding a new location/farmland to build on.. etc.. Hehe.. masochist loop to some..
I love exploring.. even in endgame. I still play Valheim/Minecraft/CDDA/Elite Dangerous(to list a few) and and even old school 'Unreal World(20+ yrs)' every year. All use 'procedural generated' maps.
Anywho I do like it.. and will most probably purchase it when it's more complete and gonna wait on a your review.
Looks like Conan Exiles.
I think marketing it as some survival game was kind of a mistake. It's more like an Indie Souls-lite, open world BOTW-lite game , and it's really cool. I think the survival and crafting aspects are the least interesting thing about it
But that's why they shouldn't be there. They only exist to add bloat/time investment. But as always to a suit in a board room, longer game=better game
Hopefully, the game will not follow Valehim's trend of updating once in 2 years.
I love Valheim, and that small team can take all the time they need to create the game to their liking.
No it’s just the lazy devs on that game. Great game but borderline Incompetent devs
@@Ryotsu2112 Good for you buddy. Most of us would prefer to see full game before turning into dust. But hey, with your attitude you basically ask to be scammed.
Would someone who dislike crafting and survival, enjoy this game?
Doubt it. They're a pretty core part of the game.
Good question, also have zero intrest in the survival stuff.
Nope. The crafting is locked behind the story and bosses like Terraria and behind base building and thralls like Conan.
thats it... mort and fex gave it a go... so shall I
Can you play this with no internet?
Yeah theres a single player local save option
@@MortismalGaming thank you so much going to follow your channel now.
Would only recommend if playing with a group of people. It is a great game and the skill tree is a nice touch to survival games. Combat feels ok, I found myself googling/youtubing for direction the game itself wasn't necessarily providing. You must have your items ON you to craft, big thumbs down. Losing bag on death is getting kind of old, would be nice to have the option in exchange for no achievements perhaps. Survival is intimidating enough for most, this feels more like a hardcore survival. Play with friends, I can see that making the game fun.
free comment. yup.
Unfortunately the game feels really sluggish and jarring being locked at 60Hz
That boss made me think Dark Souls... why do people love boss fights so much?
Beause boss fights give a (false) sense of accomplishment.
I am certain you mentioned it before, but could you quickly point out the conceptual difference between a "Check Out" and a "First Impressions" video ?
My guess would be that you do a "First Impressions" if you already intend to do a "Full Review" afterwards, and that a "Check Out" isn't necessarily being followed up on.
Correct, First Impressions is for games Im about to review and Check Out is for games I don't intend to review immediately at least
This is my copy pasted text to early access games. "Looks interresting, but Im not going to pay to be a unpaid beta tester for years." I hate this new EA tradition that has started.
What a terrible day to launch just when Palworld is dominating the survival genre.
Tried this yesterday and I have to say, while I appreciate the scope of the game, the combat is pretty poor. It's the same 3 animations over and over, one button combat, very little skill and far too easy.
But is Zelda breath of the wild or something line Elden ring any different ? Here u have special skills for your attacks just like in the other 2 mentioned games .
Every game is better with a glider and grapple hook. Every. Game.
That story premise is almost 1 for 1 Demon's Souls' story...
Not trying to bother people by saying this but i really think the devs should have waited an extra month before releasing this because of the elephant in the room, Palworld.
