Gritty medieval sandbox MMO returns to Steam three years after leaving

For some reason the idea of living in a grim medieval world is an enduring and appealing one. As if life doesn't already have enough problems, there's something in our brains that looks at a medieval peasant grubbing about in the dirt which spits out a tiny molecule of endorphin. With the return of Life is Feudal: MMO to Steam, that fantasy comes to life again, with lashings of mud, hanging corpses, and forbidding castles.
