Attention fellow base-building ghouls and survival masochists, I've got good news and bad news. Starting with the good: Some of the best survival crafting games are no longer in early access, and have hit their 1.0 milestones. The bad news? Three of them piled into the same one-month window.
I've seen a million posts all asking the same advice: "Should I get Valheim, RuneScape Dragonwilds, or Enshrouded first?" And as someone who can't stop sinking hundreds of hours into mining the same three types of rock, I'm qualified enough to help you decide. I've also recruited my colleague, Chris Livingston, who is always up to in-game riffraff resulting in funny animal encounters or injuries like some sort of bizarre, survival-crafting Jeff Corwin.

Valheim vs Enshrouded vs RuneScape: Dragonwilds
Most traditional do-this-or-else survival game
🥇 Dragonwilds
🥈Valheim🥉Enshrouded
Mining sucks, and our debate on a winner here turned into "which is the least terrible" instead of an argument over the best. Hunting ore in Valheim's swampy biome was the worst, and stingy Dragonwilds nodes were second worst.
Least terrible mining
🥇 Enshrouded
🥈Dragonwilds🥉Valheim

Best in deforestation
🥇Valheim
🥈Dragonwilds🥉Enshrouded
In Valheim, the trees hit back. Nothing beats getting crushed to death by an entire forest—the other two don't even come close.
The one for building sickos
🥇 Enshrouded
🥈Valheim 🥉Dragonwilds
Enshrouded is the best set of Legos, hands down. It has blocks in all shapes and sizes, tons of furniture, terraforming, NPC villagers, and even tools for adding a sprinkle of decay to buildings.
Excellence in hunting you for sport (raids)
🥇 Dragonwilds
🥈Valheim
Valheim raids are a close second (a great way to get resources delivered to your front door) but there's something rad about a dragon boss showing up at your house and carpetbombing you with poison while you're trying to get cozy.
Best 'There and back again' (exploration)
🥇Valheim
🥈Enshrouded🥉Dragonwilds
The handcrafted worlds of Enshrouded and Dragonwilds are both awesome, but setting out on a voyage into the procedural world of Valheim is a mysterious thrill each and every time, which makes coming home again all the more satisfying.
Most deserving of a Michelin Star
🥇Enshrouded
🥈Dragonwilds🥉Valheim
Enshrouded wins us over with its cooking mechanics—holding your own meaty kebabs over an open flame is a nice touch—but this was a close one. The multi-step process in Dragonwilds is fun to micromanage, while Valheim's system feels the most rewarding.
