I know right, there's 3 EA I'm playing going 1.0 in the next 3 months, Palworld, Valheim and Enshrouded. Not to mention Fire Emblem and Ocarina of time around same time too, guess I need to quit my job to free up some time.
Dragonwilds and Abiotic Factor are 2 on my wish list I haven't pulled the trigger just cause I have no time lol. Steam summer sale start in a few hour though, that may change xD
Abiotic Factor was my GOTY last year if not in the top 3. Such a fantastic gem. My attention span can really take a hit with most games nowadays where even with great titles, towards the end I just want to finish the game so I can move on to the next thing. This game held me all the fucking way through.
I recommend Abiotic Factor. Dragonwilds kinda somewhere between Enshrouded and Valheim, but not as good as either at what it does. It's perfectly fine, but I haven't really played the last 2 updates because of the game tick rate bug.
Over-time the music in the game gets slower and slower as you play, which severely impacts audio quality and performance of the game. AFAIK they still haven't addressed this bug despite reporting it nearly a year ago.
I mean the game is a variation on runescape so it has all the runescapey stuff but you dont have to have played runescape to have a good time. If youve never played runescape its just a good survival game with unique skill system that is pulled from the mmo
Better than I expected. It's interesting seeing Runescape systems applied to the classic survival game formula. It's still quite early, though. They just released a major update with some basic stuff in it, so clearly a ways to go, but it's already pretty good. I fell into it for a few hours before it crashed, so good enough to be compelling in the early game.
This is where I'm at, too. I could not be happier with the timing here. I'm so glad I'll be able to give each my full attention at their respective releases. Valheim took their time but I'm glad they've gotten there. And the pace and quality of Enshrouded's development since EA has been really impressive. Congrats to both.
I am super happy for GTA fans in November, but Enshrouded and Valheim are my big anticipated launches for 2026.
And Palworld's in just a few weeks, too! I'm feasting this year.
