Thoroughly impressed with this game

I have 600 hours in valheim and have played through BotW 4 times and elden ring once. When people ask me about Enshrouded I tell them it's like those three games had a baby.

However, after my fiance and I finally upgraded our shroud passage to get into the next biome, I can confidently say that the depth of this game will likely surpass all of those, or at least be on par with them. The building system is better than valheim, the lore/world building is on par with elden ring (not as crazy of a story, but in terms of breadth), the crafting and mats surpasses BotW and valheim, the loot system is on par with elden ring, the puzzles are on par with BotW. I think the only thing aside from bug cleanup (I'm still getting enemies spawning in the ground) this game needs is combat improvement, some more enemy variety (and mini bosses?) and improved AI (eg, enemies shouldn't necessarily only attack one at a time), and map improvements (being able to ping, not have everything marked as new, ability to filter, add labeled markers, etc).

I'm really impressed with level design and the amount of materials and crafting, namely decorative items there are in this game. If valheim had this much crafting/building content it would be insane. I love the quest system and the constant improvements of your NPCs. I like how they sometimes interact with each other and I think that could be expanded upon. It would be cool if they could roam your base and interact with certain build pieces but I know that's a reach.

All in all, as a lover of these types of games, I'm extremely impressed with the early access version of this game and can't wait to see the rest!
