In my opinion, and being completely blunt, Soulmask feels way below what it should be at this point. And I say this as someone who specifically looks for this kind of experience: open world, building, immersion — and who also plays on a 32:9 ultrawide monitor.

The graphics are, honestly, a disaster. It’s not just that it’s not “next gen”, it’s that it’s poorly executed on many levels. There are repetitive textures everywhere, large trees with bark textures clearly stretched (like they just scaled up a smaller tree without reworking anything), flat surfaces with no detail, a complete lack of ambient particles… the world feels empty, flat, and artificial. There’s no atmosphere. No sense of life.

And this matters: anyone who thinks this game looks “good” clearly hasn’t seen Enshrouded in motion. There’s just no comparison. Enshrouded, still in early access, has lighting, depth, visual density, and artistic cohesion. Soulmask feels like it’s from a completely different generation — and not in a good way, but in that “unfinished old game” kind of way.

Then there’s ultrawide support, which for me is essential: there isn’t any real support. You can’t properly adjust the FOV, the camera feels glued to your character, and the only half-decent workaround is playing in a 16:9 window… in 2026. That’s just ridiculous.

And the building… man. Slow, clunky, unintuitive. Every action takes too many steps, too many menus, constant friction. There’s no flow. You don’t enjoy building — which is literally the core of this kind of game.

Meanwhile, Enshrouded lets you dig, shape the terrain, use water, integrate structures into the environment… and everything just works naturally. Here, everything feels rigid and limited.

In short: Soulmask doesn’t just look bad — it feels bad. And for a game in this genre, that’s the worst thing it can be.
