Erenshor will remain a mystery

    I hate it when articles have links that look like they might take you to a relevant page about the linked text, like the game’s steam page, but instead take you to another older article about the same thing on the same site.

    I wish I could play single player old school RuneScape on my SteamDeck so bad. Sitting mining rocks while I watch TV in bed would go so hard

    This was something that I always dreamed of as a kid growing up playing WoW with shitty internet back in the day, will have to take a look at it

        Nah you’re right. KoA was exactly that. More recently we have Wayfinder having a similar story.

    Best time I ever had playing WoW was the single player project. The bots are fairly convincing most of the time. Even though they may trash talk, you never need to worry about being full on harassed.

    I wonder how it compares to Kenshi … Probably less brutal. Otherwise it seems like similar game mechanics

    Tldr: Game title is Enshrouded Erenshor. That article (as well as many others nowadays) don’t even bother putting a link to the steam page. And the game name, yet again, not in the title, hence you have to read everything to know what it is about. Internet now is so crappy and click baity. The game looks fun though, so I’ll go out of my way and actively search for Enshrouded Erenshor on steam myself like a peasant.

    Edit: I managed to have the game name wrong, hence the importance to have ready to click links!

      You sure about that? FTA

      The oxymoronic single-player MMO Erenshor, which has slowly been becoming a Steam superstar since 2023

    I picked this up the other day and it’s great! The SimPlayers go on their own little adventures, party together, and fill the chat with nonsense. I had this one guy accuse another of being a bot.

    It’s really worth trying if you’re into the traditional mmo gameplay (grinding). But without the fuss of dealing with real people and their own schedules that fight against your own. For anybody who wants to try it out, there’s a demo which covers the first area.

    I saw this the other day and added it to my wishlist…curious to see what it’s like when it breaks early access.

    Literally the only reason to play an MMO is because other people play it; without that it’s just an RPG with a shitty interface.

      MMOs have a lot of game design quirks and gameplay loops that either don’t exist in singleplayer RPGs or exist in a different way that doesn’t scratch the same itch. But some of us hate the constant money begging MMOs do or the toxic playerbases and would like to avoid that. Or we just don’t have the time to sink into a real MMO.

        This is exactly what I meant when I said “shitty interface”, I just couldn’t find the right words. Can’t stand those design quirks and gameplay loops. They remind me of spreadsheet simulators. The kind of people who like those mechanics remind me of the kind of people who buy scratcher tickets. I prefer games where I can get lost in the world and forget that I’m playing a game.

        Thanks for expanding on what I was trying to express. I can understand how the addiction factor could make a lot of people enjoy these kind of games, but it’s not for me. Cannabis and Kratom are my vices of choice.

      it’s just an RPG

      I’ve played a few singleplayer MMOs over the years, but none of them are like World of Warcraft. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning came closest, but that’s probably because it was going to BE an MMO, originally. No tab-targeting like WoW though. No jumping either.
