It's insane how Valheim has such good atmosphere at such low fidelity.
Thats the magic of post processing and global ilumination or also called volumetric lightning my friend. That's why even on ps1 textures you have a sense and feel of space and profudity. I learned all this stuff a few years ago messing around with unity and unreal, the importance of the scene building, lightning setup, climate, etc, they are more important than graphics in to contribute to have a live scene that's intriguing and make you wonder for every corner. i remember downloading the best quality assets, 4k textures, pbr shaders, all that good expensive stuff, but if you dont know how to setup properly the scene, and create a interesting atmosphere, its feel like dull, like if the assets are on a shelf, zero interest. So at the end of the day, graphic fidelity and quality in therms of texture and shaders, all that, is the final touch of a game.
@@alan138 You're right.
I think, ordinarily, those effects are extremely expensive, so the devs recognized that in an open world setting (and third person character), people tend to pay less attention to close up textures and details.
That allowed them to craft something much more immersive than high end games with AAA budgets.
It does become more noticeable in the early dungeons, but even then, only if you are consciously looking for it.
The fire and smoke paired with the looks. Really feels comfortable. But enshrouded just adds what I miss in valheim. More freedom in building and more deco.
What having a good Environment Artist does to a mfer
The magic of ART-STYLE
I think you can't compare the two games in terms of emotional impact. Every new stage of Valheim is terrifying in such a good way.
Totally agree. I have 1500+ hours in Valheim and eagerly await the next biome.
That being said, to me, the reason you can't compare those two games is because their intended gameplay experiences are inherently different.
I think calling Enshrouded a survival game does it a disservice because people go into the game expecting and comparing it to Valheim. I certainly did. It was such a shock when I played the dem that I wrote a whole RUclips reply to a video stating how it just didn't have the same environment or feel to it. It felt empty and disconnected.
Well, it turns out there is a reason for that. Enshrouded is much more Breath of the Wild than Valheim. Once you start playing it like an open world adventure game with an added (best in the business) building system, the game completely transforms.
But you don't HAVE to do anything.
You don't have to make and use food. If you skip food in Valheim you did a thousand horrible deaths.
You don't have to build in Enshrouded. If you don't build in Valheim then...you dead.
The progression into new biomes aren't abjectly terrifying due to the design of being under geared and homeless when you enter the new biome. In Valheim, just taking a boat ride to try to locate a new biome puts you in hyper vigilant mode, and for good reason: serpents can kill you and force multi hour corpse retrievals and move too close to a plains biome and you are mosquito food with an even more difficult corpse retrieval. In Enshrouded, at least at this point it's developmental, none of that is even in the design.
What is in the design is an open world absolutely stuffed with amazing locations that you find on your way to a quest....only to be sidetracked for hours as you make your way to that original quest marker, just like BotW.
@@Mhantrax spot on , completely agree, two very different games, just yesterday I was telling a friend who's a huge zelda fan that he'd love it, he said 'ah I'm not really into valheim style all the survival and cooking'...so I told him none of that is necessary and its not really a survival game, so now he's interested.
@@Mhantrax I feel this 100%. I hopped in Enshrouded hoping it would be like a custom map version of Valheim with Dark Souls-like dungeons, but it does feel more like Breath of the Wild for sure. As much as I love Zelda though, this game lost my interest not too far in. Mostly because the building for me felt very limited in comparison and also, since the game starts you off at the bottom of a pre rendered map, hopping in a public server was a mistake, as I quickly realized the first few areas were completely looted and world progression was already pushed outwards. On top of that, building a base feels very detached. Yeah I can fast travel, but the further in game you go, the further you feel away from a main base unless you're trying to dispurse outward in smaller camps, or build a base further out but with the consequence of the area being overleveled. In Valheim, the world is eternally explorable since it's procedurally generated. You get the gist of the biome and know what's in it, but the layout is always different. In Enshrouded and BoTW, you really only explore the map once unless you play again at a later day in life after forgotten. So I mean having a static map is cool and all, but it's easily exploitable by veteran players (which I'm sure by NOW there are some lol)
@@MhantraxI think we can distill your comparison between the two games a bit. In Valheim, all of the game mechanics matter, in Enshrouded they don't. A good game design is one where the development effort you are spending on the game is impactful to the player. The Enshrouded engine has a lot of cool capabilities, but they aren't always put to use in service of the gameplay. By comparison, BotW, ToK, and Valheim, or any other great game, the resources and time spent developing the game went into things that were gameplay centric.
It makes no sense to build an amazing voxel engine, if the gameplay that you then implement on top of it, doesn't really lean into it. They spent an enormous amount of time on that technology and the building systems.... but gameplay wise, building is highly optional? What?
Agreed. They aren't the same game.
I hated having to constantly eat in Valheim. Not a fan of survival games.
I also hated how finicky building was in Valheim. Flattening terrain or shaping terrain was so frustrating.
Emshrouded is perfect for me. I get to build all I want and RP in peace. Food is important for fights. It helps a ton when gathering, too.
But when you're back at your base... no reason to eat in Enshrouded.
Played the hell out of Valheim back when pandemic. It gave me that thrill of exploration. Sailing to a different island and hauling valuable ores across the sea is such a unique gaming experience.
Yeah going hard afk for 30 mins with some lumps of ore 😂
@@razorhunter5571😂😂😂 tell me about it. I just afk and watch RUclips till then
the stress of a full boat of iron and a serpent spawns behind you
the feeling when you carrying all of the ores you mine from the island to your home base.. unforgettable
Valheim you venture in the world, setting your own tasks and goals. Enshrouded your are always being told what to do next. I think I prefer Valheim for that reason.
i think many people forget that you need less than 2 gb to download valheim and around 60 for enshrouded
Enshrouded actually does a great job in this regard because you only really download around 11 GB
And at >2gb you can get ~50+ hours in one playthrough. Amazing optimization
@@olliep6794 tbf Gamefiles need a lot more space as soon as you start exploring your first map and needed space adds up with every new map you discover.
Hasn't really to do with optimization and rather with no pre generated map and low res graphics ( which does by no means meant low quality)
But I agree, downloading 2 GB and having amazing immersive fun for that many hours is indeed great 👍
Just shows how lazy some companies are with optimization man fr, so much content in 2 gigs based on other games you'd think it's impossible lmao but it's clearly not.
@@WeAsOneRise yeah because there's no maps or high res graphics that need much space lol.
That's not optimization, that's design choices 🤷🏼♂️
The trees falling in valheim is an amazing game mechanic, I wish the Bow in Enshrouded was more like Valheims aswell
What do you mean? It's possible in Enshrouded to aim with a bow like in Valheim (you can aim with RMB and let the arrow fly with LMB).
The tree falling is a stupid mechanic, completely ilogical, out of this world, i don't like it.
@@GecaaaHUN thats not like valheim, in Valheim Holding down the primary attack button draws the bow back, improving accuracy and damage when the arrow is released, in Enshrouded you draw with the secondary attack (a default full draw) and fire with the primary (a default distance), I prefer the valheim mechanism, the power is determined by draw strain (like a real bow) , Enshrouded is a predetermined distance as soon as you press the primary attack, the challenge in Enshrouded is learning or guessing what the predetermined distance is whereas in valheim you have to learn or guess how long you draw whilst considering your stamina and the arrow fall...maybe this isn't the case on the console version of valheim because I'm not sure how it would work but on PC its great, really responsive and you can fire quickly if an enemy is close by.
@@tincustefanlucian7495 I assume you're joking, trees falling down when you chop them down is illogical?? You can't be serious. On a serious note its one of the best features I've seen in any game in years, we've use the mechanism as a defence, we grow then on a hill and when enemies are attacking from below we cut them down and let them roll down ontop of them, also when you're in a multiple troll fight in a forest and hiding behind trees and the trees are taken out by the trolls.. its brilliant. Also how a felled tree will sometimes catch on other healthy trees and lodge into them or possibly damage them or even take them out aswell..the whole tree mechanics is just fantastic
@@tincustefanlucian7495I agree. It's cool for the first few times then it became an unnecessary gimmick...
You can feel every weapon and tool impact in Valheim, Every door closing and opening. the atmosphere and immersion is amazing!!
its garbage
for your millenial ass, sure. for us its amaZing@@14k46
@@14k46garbage is your life, that game is perfect.
yup. too bad for
@14k46 maybe he just cant beat the game lol
@@Daveruz no need to attack him because he thinks a game is garbage 😂
A major mining detail that you missed is that Enshrouded lets you dig tunnels whereas in Valheim whatever you mine will always be exposed to the sky
You forgot that digging outside your limited base ring in enshrouded is pointless, considering the moment you log off the land goes back to being untouched.
its not pointless you obviously dont know how to use the mechanics right, instead of going all the way around somewhere you can now dig to the top @@thuff86
@thuff86 id rather have that. You'd render whole sections of the valheim map unusable after too much terraforming and building. The game turned into a slideshow until you moved to a new section.
@@thuff86 I have used the digging (outside limited base ring) in Enshrouded to bypass land barriers and create my own custom routes and access areas I could not otherwise.
True, but you can always place roof on your trenches or dig into rocks or underneath stuff in Valheim to provide a roof for as you dig deeper into the ground.
Been playing Valheim for a couple of days now. One of the most unique experiences I’ve had in a game. The graphics bugged me for the first 5 minutes but then I realized it’s much much more about the mechanics and the style of the game. The water physics are pretty unreal and being Stuck in a storm at sea is exhilarating. If you love survival games id give this one a try. One of the best survival games I’ve played in a while.
I love both of these games and yes they are similar. I think the key difference is Enshrouded is more of an RPG and Valheim is more like an actual survivor game. I say this because Valheim really doesn't have "Quests". I think Enshrouded looks better visually but I wouldn't say that one is better than the other as a game.
Both of em give a good dopamine hit
Looks are nice, but looks ain't everything. Amiright?
Valheim has "Hildir quests" since moths, but not at the same level as Enshrouded.
@@bodid50 What exactly are you getting at though?.
The key difference is that Valheim has soul and Enshrouded doesn't
I just got Enshrouded and I think I gonna love to play it but nothing will ever compare to Valheim ❤
VALHEIM IS THE GOAT
THE FEELIN YOU GET when you move from medows to dark forest and the music changes
i shit my pants many times
haha i agree. Valheim is great
And dungeon music is creepy asf
I'm curious as to why the reviewer chose to compare digging in Enshrouded with ground leveling in Valheim?? Why not show digging in Val as well?
had the same thought
You meant what he did with the rake in Enshrouded?
Might didn't know you can change the angle 🤷🏼♂️
At a guest I'd say it's because he was paid by Iron Gate to try to paint Valheim in the best light. The bias is so thick it becomes unconvincing by the two minute mark.
@@davidcooke8005 Or they have a personal bias that supports Valheim.
@@davidcooke8005 Why are Valheim's evasions rubbish?? (before I say I've never played, I have 800 hours on Steam)
Dont get me wrong...Enshrouded is a good game which I recommend. However, for the reasons illustrated in this video, Enshrouded just made me miss Valheim and I am now playing that gain.
well said :)
i feel like valheim almost requires you to play with someone. just for all those funny moments
I bought Enshrouded recently and it's good. Valheim is great. Valheim looks and feels rich and the weapons and interactions feel weighty and just right. Enshrouded looks washed out and feels wrong - building possibilities in Enshrouded are great but not as satisfying to do as Valheim.
You forgot to rotate your rake, can be flat too, or angled. More ground shaping options
I do miss the water and sailing in Valhiem
Valheim is about an art style. It's a beautiful thing, the lighting, feel, emotion, and then the character creation - the fact they move their heads the direction you look using the mouse is an amazing thing to see.
Love them both. Valheim has more of a sense of danger and meaning to base building though. Yeah after I place some natural walls and maybe a moat around my base the enemies can't reach me... but at least they try and some threat exists that has to be dealt with. With Enshrouded it's fun to build a base but it's only for storage/spawn and not defense in anyway. 45 degree angles would be nice as well, 90 degrees is all you get in Enshrouded. The other big difference for me (I am talking vanilla only) is how punishing dying in Valhiem is compared to Enshrouded. If I don't keep a backup set of gear I am going to potentially have to pull off some real bullshit to get my stuff back. With Enshrouded my "critical" items like armour and weapons are retained after death, so retrieving that body is not the alt+f4 inducing experience Valheim can bring.
I never build moats in valheim because of that anymore. it's just more fun when the mobs can get in.
Enshrouded has a default setting of snapping. It is on a 2x2 grid. Turn it off and you can build anything in any way, working with as little as a 1x1 block.
You can repair and rebuild any structure in the game.
I recommend watching a couple videos on building in enshrouded. It can do everything Valheim can, except build off the 90-degree plane, and also offers more. Unfortunately, the game doesn't tell you much in terms of building and repairing and leaves many players lacking in the fundamentals.
keep in mind, enshrouded isnt out yet and will have options for difficulty later and they are considering ways for enemies to attack bases or near it on the website for voting. everyone is comparing a game already released over years of work to a game that came out less than 2 months ago that announced its not done but it is currently playable
@@sanjayw9878valheim is early access just like enshrouded. there's still at least a complete biome waiting to be done.
@@babstra55hasnt valheim been in that state longer though. I say let Enshrouded cook. It may even surpass it some day. Who knows.
Thanks for showcasing both side by side!
Valheim best game 2021
*best survival game of 2021
Still in early access, huh
@@psevdonim481 early access just means devs are updating and adding new content before launching game complete and then optimisation,where as Valheim requires no optimisation and content is always been added and improved. This compared to some of the trash games that come out now by big studios that are crap and run like its been released on Atari( old game console form the 80's).
@@michaelvial125 after the ashlands game will end right?
@@thealpha3270no, they planning to add content on sea aswell since not much to do there except sailing to another part
For the rake in enshrouded, you have to turn it 90 degrees. I don't know why it starts off vertical. Hopefully, it will be fixed before release.
Very well :D Dont wanna blame Enshrouded but once U have played Valheim you may will miss features in other survivals:
Cutting trees
They can kill you, u can influence which direction the tree will fall and u have to cut the tree trunk in small pieces.😊
Building
They physics make pillars etc necessary and its not just a nice Feature for the eye only. And u need to take care of smoke If u have the fire pit/chimney etc inside ur house.
Weather:
It makes U feel so comfy to sit in ur place while its stormy outside. Sounds and music changes if u are in a building (comfy Zone) or outside. Yeah some other games are well too but Valheim makes it soo good :3
With its style i like the way valheim looks more than enshroudeds realistic style it feels more unique
I love both games. Since Enshrouded is more quest based, they are kind of an apples and oranges comparison.
Uhh no, they're literally competing in the exact same space. Calling Enshrouded 'quest based' is like saying Starfield is a deep RPG akin to Baldurs Gate. Neither Enshrouded nor Valheim has much of anything going on there. Same exact competing space.
@@derpderpin1568Baldurs gate is shit 😂
why are yo usaying that?@@br5073
Disagree. When you open the map on each game, Valheim has only a few icons on the map. The enshrouded icons overlap each other. Valheim is less "structured" and maybe allows more freedom. Enshrouded is more quest based for sure though. @@derpderpin1568
@@derpderpin1568That's not true. Enshrouded does have quests, have you even played the game? The quests are more like mmo (wow) quality fetch quests though. Been a while since I played Valheim but I can't remember any quests. I didn't get that far in Valheim, other games got my attention so I quit. Enshrouded at least has quests from the very beginning.
Valheim made me feel like I was in a Norse Saga, or trapped in a dream scape. Real in all the right ways. Really fantastic art direction.
Second game looks neat, but as photorealistic graphics become standard, people will get bored and crave something alien, even if it’s passed through a sort of filter.
Love some of the posts where one HAS to be better then the other game, like it is a competition. Maybe less pointless bickering and think of the benifit of having the option of both games to enjoy. With all the crap out there, we have at least two decent games to chose from.
💯
One IS better than the other
@@SWBGTOC That was a struggle.
@@SWBGTOC subjectively yes but that's about it 😉
it is a competition in terms of only 1 product can occupy your time at once.
I think replay value matters the most.
So far Valheim takes it. But with time, maybe valheim will never be optomized and Enshrouded will find more ways to be infinitely replayable with mods and servers like how Valheim is currently.
Enshrouded is considerd better based on numbers. More players currently playing and higher 24hr peak in such a short time from release. In time it will pass the all time peak possibly
Enshrouded is great, but I think my heart still belongs to Valheim
Man I just discover this channel and its so refreshing to watch a video thats not stuffed with all talks and music and sound effect. Its so chill.
1,500 hours in Valheim
300 hours in Enshrouded
Love both
Enshrouded is a better fit for me overall
I feel so too.
Valheim is great but Enshrouded has everything I always missed on Valheim.
@@sonoftristram like what ? Does Enshrouded have NPC companions ? like in Palworld. ( I don't like Palwords goofy ass NPC's )
@@lestamon6950far less tedious resource farming, quests, very smooth gameplay, a very well designed map, a skill system, much more build options and overall a whole lot mire content.
No actual NPC companions, it's nothing like Palworld at all 😂
Valheim is a great survival game but I prefer the mix with adventure and RPG elements like Enshrouded has. World is only 25% the size of what we'll get on full release..
@@sonoftristram i feel thet quests, and class systems, etc stray to far away from the survival esq theme of valheim and more into a RPG. especially with builds having no threats, like weather, raids, and such. aswell as enshrouded being the same all the time and knowing where everything is at all times being to repetitive.
@@seamusthestout462 yeah because Enshrouded is more RPG than survival.
It's an RPG with survival influence and that's pretty much what even the devs themselves say about it.
I like a fix handcrafted world over procedurally generated worlds.
Valheim feel way more repetitive to me tbh.
To Me Enshrouded has the better exploration, better movement, looks more appealing to me, has the much better build system and better combat.
All just my subjective opinions here.
Valheim is a great game that's never been a question here, I just like Enshrouded more.
Valheims entire progression blows a LOT of survival games out of the water. When you progress you can feel the euphoria from your work. Now valheims building system is honestly one of the best that i’ve seen, i mean just youtube the things people can create. The boss battles, especially with the boys are super exciting. I’ve never played enshrouded, but just seeing the gameplay compared to valheim just sells valheim even more from me. A team filled with passion in their creation, completely obvious when you experience it. I understand that valheim is slow in development, but with what they have created so far tells me that its in the good hands. I think without the hands of some triple A company or anything like that they are truly free, as we know these big game companies continue to let all of us down. Well done Valheim team, you still have my heart, i may give enshrouded a chance, but i doubt it will be able to top the experience and memories i made playing valheim with my friends. Thats another thing lol… no other game has made my squad closer to one another. Valheim is ours to conquer, together.
Ah und die Harke zum fläche ebnen kann man in Enshrouded mit R gedrückt halten und mausrad rotieren damit man sie sinvoll benutzen kann. wirkt so als würdest du absichtlich einen asymetrischen vergleich machen wollen.
Honestly just showed how graphical realism / High Fidelity is nothing compared to stylized art design and attention to Atmosphere. Valheim takes the cake with its immersion and vibe, 100%
Gah, I love Valheim. It was Covid, I was bored...i ate many mushrooms, blasted some Wardruna, thats a band, song Helvegen, and traveled to the Limbo realm of Valhalla. I slayed forest demons and trolls, I built a fortress where I could trip in peace while I gathered my bearings. I then traversed an alien landscape, conquering sea dragons, swamp things, and blizzard glitches. I joined Warduna, chanting something lost. My room mate told me to stfu, it's 3am. I said cool. Compromise is key. I put on some Uhtred the son of Uhtred and called it a night.
I wouldnt have tried Valheim if I hadn't tried Enshrouded, love them both
So true
I just discovered ur chanel a week ago and i’m addicted ❤
Enshrouded got me into Valheim.
Hasn't Valheim also been out a while vs Enshouded? I actually feel bad that I didn't stick with Valheim but my bad experiences were more the people I'd played with vs those Im playing Enshrouded with 😅
you should give it another go someday, it's a beautiful game :)
Valheim was wonderful for the Viking experience. One thing that's funny is the character models were built human sized where it feels like Enshrouded the character models are shorter like Dwarves. Other than that it seems more visually beautiful, but also gamier, like things are streamlined to be a better game feeling, and less hardcore.
Valheim will always be a great game, some of the comparisons made Valheim the star others Enshrouded. The thing I like about both of them is the differences and they are not knockoffs of another game. Valheim is unique so that is runs on lower end computers and also has multiplayer dedicated servers. Games that just have co-op in my opinion are not great. I prefer multiplayer and Valheim fill that niche. Enshrouded has just come out so developing it to release will be an interesting journey. I also have Nightingale to play with as well. 2024 is going to be real good.
I Love Valheim ❤
Both?
Both.
Both.
Both is good.
I like the comparison, do another one but at high tier, eg high lvl mele or using high quality building materials, the variety of wall decorations, both are very good games and noth have different strengths and weakness', high lvl bossing etc, if they added tree physics to enshrouded I'd be stoked, same with being able to swivel building walls on the 45 etc
10:23 you mean in Enshrouded the arrows disappear...
Valheim has been my favorite game over last 2 years. Really the only video game I play. The gameplay is perfectly balanced in my opinion. Gotta be smart anf patient to advance. You decide when you want to risk the next biome...which is always a huge step and and exciting change of scenery and challenges. The sea is awesome. Just entered the plains and it seems fun. The swamp was so difficult at first!
Valheim is such a great game!
for me enshrouded doesn't "feel" better than valheim. The graphics don't even matter that much, sometimes less is more.
well valheim sure has less content so you got your wish there my man :D
How tf does Enshrouded run much better on my PC with almost maxed settings while I struggle to reach 60fps when I'm roasting something over the fire in Valheim 💀
Wtf? How is that even possible?
Haven't play Enshrouded yet, but I can feel the pace between these 2 games is just so different. From the video alone it makes me feel that Enshrouded tilts toward RPG more than actual survival game, while Valheim will make you rationing your resources, training your discipline to maintain your stamina so you don't screw up yourself, even the game forces you to do more exploration in different biomes because you always need something from somewhere even when in the endgame. The best of all, Valheim is like around 1GB for me to download, and it baffles me how such a good game with low fidelity can give me immense immersion while having a blast with friends.
The best thing so far I've done with my friend is hauling a cart filled with precious ores while being chased by a horde of random monsters and we keep yelling at each other.
I played both, with major hours in Valheim and over 80+ in Enshrouded... Valheim feels like if i die its got consequences... Enshrouded i lose what time and some resources? thats the big difference... there is not consequences in the game. looks nice but thats it when all said and done

U used the rake wrong in enshrouded. You have to angle it by pressing R + SCROLL BUTTON
I like mining better in Enshrouded. Cutting trees is better in Valheim. The flattening of earth was unfair, that can be corrected in Enshrouded but agree the tool shouldn't default like that. Progression to cook multiple foods comes way too late in Enshrouded, cooking pot should be allowed way earlier. Maybe limit recipes until one progresses. Dungeons in Enshrouded are weird, but I also view the Shroud Wells as dungeons. Items not dropping on the ground from enemies I'm on the fence about, I know entities on the ground can add up to slow a game down, and Enshrouded already has performance issues.
food cooking to late? game is only 25% complete..end game stage will eventually be level 100.
@@michaelvial125 You can cook multiple items at the very start of Valheim. In Enshouded, its a chore until you get the cooking pot. Cooking multiple foods at once, or a stack of a single food source at once should be available at the very start. For newer players I can see that mechanic being incredibly annoying especially with stamina being a vital part of gameplay.
@@redspectrenine9632while I agree that the cooking pot could be available a bit earlier I can't see it being a chore early on since food buffs last longer in Enshrouded and stam as well as stam reg comes from gear, fluids and sweets that you don't have to cook and same with stat boosts + you get permanent stat increases including health and stamina from the Skilltreue while in Valheim you're nothing without the right food.
Just cook a hand full pieces of meat when you're at your base and you're good to go.
Cooking up entire stacks of food is by no means any necessary.
I never spent longer than a few minutes to prep food for several in game days
Even fog tries to kill you in Valheim. Had to sit in my boat in the ocean moving absolutely no where for 20 minutes because fog came and my boat was almost destroyed.
So does Enshrouded have physics, wind etc? Is there sailing? And what did the archery try to show? signed .. confusde.
They're not exactly the same genre to be honest. The reason you will like Valheim is not necessarily the reason you will like Enshrouded. Valheim is a brutal, survival-exploration sandbox game and Enshrouded is a survival-esque RPG with sandbox elements.
People like Valheim because with simple elements, it successfully makes you believe that every milestone you accomplish is worthwhile and noteworthy. One such thing is the simple act of baking bread.
You have to raid Fuling villages one after another for their Barley, establish your own fortress in the deadly Plains, then invent windmill structures to process the grain. Only after updating your cookware and creating a sufficient amount of flour can you make the barley bread. It pays off, and that sort of progress means a lot to players.
I think Enshrouded has a little bit of that feel too, but instead of a procedurally generated world, it mainly feels good because there are more advanced combat mechanics and dungeons. The exploration is on point when it comes to any sort of structures I think.
Even though I just said a lot of good things about both games, I don't really think Enshrouded is a very complete experience at all though. It's very much a weird souls-like game that combines elements from many different open-world games and sandboxes, but ultimately feels unpolished as far as core features go. There's not much at stake, and pretty quickly the player starts to see through a lot of the design choices that exist only to artificially extend the time players spend in the game. Early access ofc and much younger, so it could change.
@@AeyakSExcellent comment, and I agree. I am playing Valheim at present, it is far more rewarding than Enshrouded. Enshrouded is souless in comparison.
Great comparison vid😊
Visually i prefer enshrouded but both have their pros n cons. Plus I'm not someone who have anyone to play with 🤔
Valheim is like a saga, Enshrouded just like a fary tale
It sad that valheim lacks update content. Iron gate takes to long to release new content.
The comparison is very flawed in 2 places.
First - rock mining. In enshrouded the video shows digging ground and not breaking standalone rocks.
Second - flattering ground. The rake in enshrouded is rotated vertically instead of horizontally
When you put the best animations from both worlds together you have the perfect game
You can adjust the level in enshrouded so the one with the rake was a little unfair lol
I like both, but if I had to pick one it would be Valheim hands down. That isn't me saying Enshrouded is a bad game, I love it. Valheim is just such a unique experience and is more replayable imo.
I do think the developers can make Enshrouded into something more special depending on how they move forward though.
Level of immersion in Valheim is this far the best out of any game. Enshrouded is a very pretty game but the body types are kind of weird also the jumping animation is not great lol. Moving in Valheim feels natural and the thrill of entering a new zone is unbeatable. Thank you for the video!
Valheim feels like a new Game. Enshrouded feels like some Assets. Even tho Enshrouded is great it still has this kinda feel to it. Maybe you know what i mean.
I can dig through a mountain in enshrouded. Automatically better.
Jokes aside, both games are great and I have many hours is both. Valheim building takes more ingenuity and you really have to pay attention to structural integrity. Better snapping too, imo. I do love how enshrouded voxels work when building, though.
Graphics aren't everything, but enshrouded does look better.
Valheim has a weight system, something I can't stand.
Sailing was awesome in Valheim. Hopefully enshrouded get mounts of something one day since water doesn't seem to exist unless you have a well.
I honestly have to give the edge to enshrouded. It has quests, a more fleshed out story (with more to come I"m sure) and an RPG element. The map looks to only be a 1/3 complete as well. Many places you cannot enter yet. If the devs for enshrouded keep adding to the game it will be second to none.
The one thing I liked better about Valheim was the tree physics. Having them fall with such weight and impact felt satisfying
Digging...I want to dig. I want to dig an intricate maze system in a mountains, set up a base there, and listen to dungeon synth. WHY can't I do that in Valheim? Why are the tunnels there so terrible? I don't get it.
Because you now have Enshrouded to do it in 😁
that's the one thing I miss too. but they'd have to recode the world generator to fix that, and it would probably be heavier to run. which would be super problematic with as dense vegetation. maybe next game they make?
@@babstra55Perhaps this is a feature of game engines. Enshrouded is developed on its own Holistic engine. Valheim is developed on Unity.
Although, I absolutely don’t understand why in Red Faction (2001 !!!) it was possible to dig any cave by c4 explosives, but not in Unity in 2024
Okay, so I've seen people criticize how cutting down a tree is in Nightingale compared to Valheim and Enshrouded, but this doesn't actually look much better.
both very good games i would like to add you picked an extremely boring dungeon for enshrouded
The only same thing I can agree on both Valheim and Enshrouded is the jumpscare by random monsters out of nowhere 😭
There are a few features from enshrouded that I want in valheim, other than that my preference is for valheim
I pretty much just want the ability to dig a tunnel into a hill and make a hobbit home
The only thing that makes me want to try enshrouded is this urgent need I feel, need to build a hobbit hole..
personally for me valheim, though i do have hundreds of hours in both games so it doesnt really matter
I choose enshrouded over valheim, just enjoy the overall experience more
Valheim has physics related to the real world especially for building, Enshrouded you can build floating things out of your wildest dreams. Valheim however random generated map every new game, and Enshrouded, same map every new game.
Never played either that said the two both had their clear strengths in this video though Valheim made the player feel powerful with most of it's effects and that 1GB respects the player's hardware while also look pretty acquitted for what it is.
You are using the rake wrong in enshrouded
IMPOSIBLE, Enshrouded carece de contenido ante Valheim, iniciando con las peleas en mar abierto. Valheim es una obra maestra.
Never played valheim but i have seen alot of videos on it nd it looked decent. As for enshrouded i have it and it is a pretty good game. Just very well put together.
Valheim wins hands down IMO.
I started Valheim about 2 weeks before Enshrouded dropped but took a quick break to see what Enshrouded was all about.
I will admit that i was getting some data dump crashes on Enshrouded but that wasn't my only issue with the game.
Building bases was cool enough but apart storing your stuff there is no point in having a base. No raids, nothing to defend, etc etc...
(After playing 7 days to die & Valheim, maybe i'm just too spoiled in that regard?) Possibly!
Sooooo, anyhoo i just couldn't stop thinking about Valheim while playing Enshrouded & it just got too much!
So back i went, & still remain.
Maybe Enshrouded will be able to put up a fight further down the road, but it just doesn't right now. Not for me personally...
Again, just IMO.
It’s not a competition. Do you think about eating an apple while you are eating an orange? That’s what you are doing when you compare these 2 games.
@@-Believeinyourself- it's literally a Valheim Vs Enshrouded video. 🤦
@@mattfletcher2270 indeed it is and this video is comparing an apple to an orange and so are you. Point still stands
@@-Believeinyourself- Completely disagree, so your point is still redundant to me.
I dunno..... Valheim never had minidump issues due to "too many plants". I cannot go back to my base now because the game crashes as soon as port there.
Craziest thing for me is having a big ass base in both games but getting more fps in Enshrouded while simultaneously looking 10x better than valheim
There is no comparison between a game with 30 gigabytes and one with just 1 gigabyte graphically speaking. But what Valheim makes you feel every time you arrive at a new biome or when you simply navigate the sea has no equal, is that for me and I think many others like me is simply a masterpiece.
Conan Exiles Old VS Conan Exiles 2024 ???
While there are interesting similarities and comparisons to be made, Valheim has more replayability hands-down. This is because Enshrouded's map is not randomly generated and after you have finished the game, it is just the same map again if you want to do it again.
It's just the different biomes and boss locations being in different places but other than that Valheims worlds feel pretty much the same every time simply because the world gen isn't that exciting.
Mistlands are a nightmare to traverse but biomes are pretty much the same in every run.
Love Valheim but I prefer a well made handcrafted map that filled with interesting locations than a randomly generated one that always feels the same.
I'd argue that it hampers Valheim's replayability. All a randomly generated map means is a bland map devoid of personality. Procedural generation is nowhere near powerful enough yet to make particularly interesting maps in most cases, and it certainly applies to Valheim. It might help for game where you're expecting to play short runs over and over again, such as roguelikes (for example, Binding of Isaac or Slay the Spire), but it works against games like Valheim, where the expectation, generally speaking, is to spend longer on a single playthrough, with possible later playthroughs for people once they eventually get bored with where they were in the game.
More variety is not even remotely similar to more quality. For some gameplay loops more variety, regardless of quality, is the lifeblood, but for open world survival games (particularly one where you can either respawn or are likely to survive for long periods of time), quality becomes far more important.
These are slightly different games.
I liked it better Enshrouded simply because there crafting is very coolly connected with the plot. There is no feeling that you have to craft because there is nothing else to do.
But Valheim I love it too.
Post-processing in valheim is insane.
En Enshrouded podes hace un barco y Navegar?
I own both and are two great games, u should buy both, in this case a prefer valheim due exploration and replayability
Tengo ambos y son dos juegos geniales, deberías comprar ambos, en este caso prefiero Valheim debido a la exploración y la rejugabilidad.
You are not showing the real comparison, you used the enshrouded ground flattener in the cliff setting not the ground flattener setting (press R ) to change it. In the dungeon you show the hidden treasure not the main treasure.
The whole video and subtitles made it come off as dishonest, like a fanboy trying to shit on something new.
Enshrouded is a great game, i'm playing and loving it! But Valheim has a better "ambience", has water(ocean has a big impact on the game) and procedure generation maps (helps with replayability). The only thing Enshrouded wins hands down is building.
Valheims water is terrible though. The swimming system is really bad. There's one monster in the water. The boats feel very very unrewarding, especially the final one. Water has no physics at all and only exists on one same height plane for the entire planet. It's really not good in any way.
Agree!
Building in Valheim is much better because it has physics and structural stability system. No floating in the air. Also it actually feels like you're building something, especially with logs and bricks.
Love Valheim, but it didn´t evolve fast enough. Roughly once a year me (and friends) played/tried the updates, but there was always to less content added. I´m through with the Story in Enshrouded. Seems there is not much to do now... I´m not into building, though it´s just upgrading and farming.
TEM ERRO NA PARTE DE FERRAMENTA ENXADA, EM ENSH. VC AJUSTA O ANGULO DA ESCAVAÇÃO, COISA QUE VC NÃO FEZ E POR ISSO SE CAVOU UM BURACO EM VEZ DE APLAINAR O TERRENO.
NO ENSH. VC APLAINA TERRENO, FAZ RAMPAS E CAVA BURACOS COM A ENXADA, EM VALH, SÓ SE FAZ UMA COISA COM A ENXADA.
valheim with only 2 GB of storage true chad
Love Valheim. The physical engine is cool. Need to try Enshrouded.
I have not played enshrouded yet. Ive put a couple hundred hours in Valheim and loved it. It looks like Enshrouded needs a bit more time to bake.
you should def. try it, tho i've invested a coupled of hundreds hours in Valheim and reaching my first hundred in Enshrouded soon, both games play completly diffrently but are an amazing experience in their own ways, yes Valheim got water and water traveling but in Enshrouded you can fly which makes traveling much more fun than in Valheim, because in Valheim sea traveling is slow. In Enshrouded you are far more mobile. I dont think its right to compare them as a contest, they are both amazing games. And since Valheim is in EA since '21 and Enshrouded just came in EA and got as much or even more content than Valheim does at this stage, i think thats noticeable too.
@dragonlord4643 cool, it will Inevitably happen. I like to play these games with my dad or daughter or both. Right now looking at doing Sons Of The Forest next. After that, it will likely be Enshrouded.
Please don't write "EA", you are scaring people.
the game isnt even done and people are comparing it to a game that was in the works for years, they literally said it isnt done. I play both and never understood why people think getting one of something means you are against getting another of something. I had a lot of fun with enshrouded it has a similar feel but they are different games
@sanjayw9878 the one thing I wish valheim has is a magic system. I hear enshrouded has one. I'm excited about that.
I tried Enshrouded the other day. Now i am back to Valheim.
DESCARTO A COMPARAÇÃO DE TEXTURAS, POIS CADA GAME TEM UMA PROPOSTA VISUAL UNICA, VALH. PRETENDE SER RETRÔ COM SUAS TEXTURAS DE BAIXA RESOLUÇÃO QUE EXPLODEM EM BITMAP, A MECANICA DE VALH NÃO É RETRÔ E FICA NO MESMO PATAMAR DO OUTRO GAME.
So... In the most base aspects, they're the same game? Huh. I have only played Enshrouded, but there are some bits you could have shown that are crucial to the game. And I do mean crucial, these are things you will be doing more constantly than fighting enemies, which perfectly suits an exploration game.
While exploring, you HAVE to carry tools. In ruined villages, there are barred doors you can open with the Felling Axe. In some ruins and catacombs, there is treasure hidden behind debris that you have to dig out. If you want to climb a cliff, you can dig a jump-tunnel.
One of the big selling points for me after I bought the game was when I found a house with a locked door, but had no lockpicks. So just to see if I could, I started MINING THE WALL around it. And it worked! 10/10 let gamers do what gamers have always wanted to do 😂
Though Valheim does get a very deserved point for TIMBEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR mechanics.
You don't need a lot of pixels and polygons to make a beautiful game
