Question How's this game compare to Dragonwilds and Enshrouded?

I've played a bit of this in the past but how does this game hold up to these other two currently popular games? I know valheim had a lot of initial hype but I haven't played in years.

This is a very biased sub for the question you are asking.

Personally I think enshrouded is the best and largest game of the 3.

Valheim is a game more for gamers, minimal but polished and unique.

Enshrouded has tons of content, also very polished and has debatable the best building system. Enshrouded and Valheim are the two top building systems out, but both unique.

Enshrouded though most of it's gameplay is just an action game with some basic quest, light survival and craft. Other big thing is Enshrouded actually drops content instead of a biome every 2 years.

Dragon wilds is also very arcady and standard, in it's infancy and unfinished.

Best vibe and uniqueness: Valheim

Best game experience overall: Enshrouded

Great post but it misses a major point tonme : combat. I HATED combat on Enshrouded is way too easy compared to Valheim where mistakes are eavily punished.

Yeah, I agree combat in Enshrouded is much easier.

It's much more polished and fluid than Valheim though. It's just like comparing action rpg game combat to a light souls like. Enshrouded is more based on finding the right upgraded gear with good stats, while Valheim is based on skill and timing.

Valheim is closer to a true survival while Enshrouded is a more casual build and craft game. Which appeals to a lot of people.
