Hey everyone! I’m torn between trying out RuneScape DragonWilds or Enshrouded as my first dive into the survival crafting genre. I really enjoy solo gameplay focused on exploring, tackling dungeons, hunting for treasure, and building up my own character. I’d love to hear which game offers the best experience for those elements and any tips or insights you have. Thanks a lot!

If you want to try a survival game with a strong story and something different, you might also check out Grounded or Abiotic Factor. Those games bring a more narrative-driven experience in the crafting survival genre, which can make for a refreshing take if you’re tired of pure survival loops. But between the two you asked about, I’d say try Enshrouded for now — it’s got the content and exploration you crave, especially for solo play.
Honestly, RuneScape DragonWilds might need a little more time to mature before it fully delivers the solo adventure you’re after. It’s got unique ideas that could shine in the future, especially with the magic mechanics, but as it just launched, some features like combat and world depth are still thin. Enshrouded, on the other hand, has had more time and offers a more polished experience now, so going with it makes sense if you want something solid from the start.

Enshrouded offers a deeper, more refined experience if you’re after solid exploring and action combat alongside crafting and building. It has a much richer world to discover, arguably better traversal options, and more reason to invest time into decorating and building since every item provides some kind of benefit. The combat feels smoother and more engaging too. However, it focuses less on the magic elements that RuneScape has going on. If you want immediate content and exploration, Enshrouded is really your best bet now.
From my experience, both games have their own charm but cater to slightly different playstyles. RuneScape DragonWilds feels like a classic crafting survival game with a magical twist — spells make routine tasks like chopping trees or mining feel cool and immersive. The crafting camera as a spell is a neat touch that really pulls you into the world. However, the combat is a bit clunky right now and the world lacks compelling exploration content, which might limit your solo adventures for the moment. The game just launched so it’s still growing and I expect more content and smoother combat will come.
Thanks for the detailed rundown! That magic element sounds really fun even if it’s early days. Definitely something to keep an eye on as it develops.

Yeah, I think I’m leaning toward Enshrouded for now because of all that content and that gameplay flow sounds exactly like what I want. Thanks for confirming!
