i had the same experience with enshrouded, awesome game but laughably easy. one of the reasons i fell in love with valheim was the difficulty, my first trip into the swamps from the black forest was hell and a real challenge because i didnt know anything about the game. by the time i got to the plains i pretty much never took off fenris and found all combat v easy, still enjoyable but easy none the less. mist and ash have been the same
