Pretty standard survival crafter with runescape themed everything. The skill leveling is fun and makes the typical gameplay of this genre feel a good bit more rewarding. Although it does become a grind, which I reckon is tradition for the series. The graphics are nice and polished. And the animations are also quite good for early access. The combat is decent. Souls-lite. It feels a bit better than valheim, thanks in part to the better animations, but it still is fairly clunky. The main problem with combat is it feels like you can essentially only do one action at a time. There's a lot of downtime on every action. You can't blend actions really. No jump attack, no sprint attack, no roll attack. You have to wait for the swing animation to finish entirely, where your character returns to neutral, before you can roll. The commitment on attack startup is also rather low. You can almost spin 360 degrees on your attack startup with default mouse sensitivity. So the combat can feel a bit floaty and restrictive at times. The gear choices are actually pretty interesting though. There's several armor and weapon types which all favor specific playstyles; warrior, mage, ranger. And the crafting system is simple enough while still having a touch of depth. This game isn't doing anything groundbreaking, but it combines a lot of the best parts of the genre and commits to the source material. As far as early access survival crafters go this one has a lot of polish. I think if the combat system can be tuned a little tighter, and the players repertoire of available actions is expanded upon, Dragonwilds would be one of the best survival crafters on the market. As it stands, it's just another survival crafter with some fun flavor. Definitely worth a run if you're a fan of the genre, but if you're not then I don't think this would change your mind.

It's got some small bugs, but overall it's been very fun and I love that I can play solo or co-op (scaling difficulty). The progression has been nice so far with exploring and questing allowing me to learn everything needed to get to the next area. I am enjoying being able to switch between play styles with different weapons (currently blasting everything with fire magic, lol). I've run into a few minor quirks with base building, but otherwise it has been really good and I'm really digging my current base setup.

The highlight of the game for me was the building, you can really get creative with the systems they have in place! I hope they keep expanding upon it. The rest of the experience was also pretty nice, I had a lot of fun and plan to return when there is more content.

Got me hooked. Runs exceptionally well for an EA.
