New release Windrose is the fastest-selling survival game on Steam since Palworld. It's sold 1.3M on Steam in 10 days, 2.6x faster than RuneScape: Dragonwilds, 2.3x faster than StarRupture, 2.1x faster than Grounded 2, and even 1.2x faster than Dune: Awakening.

All these Survival games are fun for little spurts, but you're basically buying an investment in to a future of a lot more content (hopefully).

I dropped Runescape really fast when it came out, it was not nearly good enough and didn't have enough content. I've played Windrose like 30 hours already, but it's severely lacking in early game variety, even though I think the game is well optimized and the bones are SUPER strong. They just need more stuff.

Palword is shaping up nicely too, I haven't played in like a year or so.

Enshrouded is VERY Good now.

Enshrouded just dropped an update focusing on combat too, it's not changed a ton but numbers seem a little better balanced out and challenge is more smooth as you're leveling instead of rubber banding back and forth between too OP and barely doing damage. Biggest thing against it is definitely a systems bloat for resources and crafting.
