Enshrouded's latest update, "Thralls of Twilight," could be its best yet, filling the game with terrifying new monsters and spicing up night-time adventures with new items and vaults.

I've been playing Enshrouded since its early access launch, but none of its updates have caught my attention like Thralls of Twilight. If you haven't tried Enshrouded yet, there's never been a better time to give it a shot.

For starters, Thralls of Twilight took Embervale's deadly Shroud zones to a whole new level with major landscape improvements and a slew of new monsters straight out of the realm of cosmic horror. As someone who no longer bats an eye at the original zombie-like monsters crawling the Shroud, these new terrors are a welcome change of pace, especially since Keen Games also added new items and loot exclusive to the Shroud.

Fighting those creepy crawlies is more exciting now, too, thanks to new weapon gems. Now some high-rarity weapons will have a gem slot where you can equip various gems dropped by powerful NPCs. You have to find a Gem Forge to add or remove gems, but your reward is a customizable magic weapon.

Speaking of customization, Thralls of Twilight also introduced armor tinting, so you can now customize all of your armor using a variety of color schemes, similar to the armor customization in V Rising. It's a minor change, but one I'm excited to see (it also makes it easier to tell your co-op teammates apart when players are wearing the same armor set).
