I'll keep at it, but I have some problems with the design.

The bad things I find are:
1. Nearly unnavigable terrain.
2. Not enough armor/protection available, and/or overtuned monster damage.
3. Monster density is too high near coastal areas.

These three factors coupled together make it not 100%, but very nearly unplayable without God-mode or Fly turned on - for me.

The good things about it are
1. Someplace new to explore - but I wish I could.
2. New items to discover and learn.
3. I like the mystery of it, and the ambience/soundscape remind me of the portrayal of Fangorn forest from "The Two Towers" LotR movies. Spooky and ominous. Very well done.

Possibly just because your a casual player going into a not-so-familiar area? If it's made that way then its meant to be played that way.
