Enshrouded is one step closer toward my dream game - one that combines the mythic quests of action RPGs with the tactile, do-it-yourself mechanics of a survival game. It's already nailing a few things, particularly visuals, world design and exploration, but right now its simple systems need deepening, and the game seems to be stretching itself far too thin.
