This is the best game I’ve ever played, full stop. Almost 1000 hours in, and I still log in “just to do one thing” and end up six objectives deep, forgetting what I even came for. From the moment you step into its massive, detailed world, Enshrouded gives you endless reasons to keep exploring. The Shroud zones are dangerous in the best way — not just because of the enemies, but because they pull you in with the promise of loot, hidden areas, and challenges that turn a quick trip into a long adventure. Every journey seems to create new goals on the fly, whether it’s uncovering a chest tucked deep in a dungeon, unlocking a new recipe, or stumbling onto the perfect spot for a future build. And building in Enshrouded isn’t just a side activity — it’s one of the game’s greatest strengths. The system is incredibly flexible, letting you shape anything from a simple shelter to a sprawling fortress without fighting the controls. Voxel-based terrain shaping means the land its...

I've tried to like this game twice. Both times it starts fairly fun, but it's gotten repetitive very quickly. So, far the 4 bosses I've fought have identical movesets and essentially the same boss arena. It's the bad version of open world: lots of empty space requiring you to traverse on foot. There whole villages which just have either rats or wolves as the enemies (yawn). As I explore between major landmarks, I just encounter level 3 wolves, level 5 wolves, level 7 wolves, level 9 wolves, level 11 wolves. Get the picture? Too much of the game is just the same exact stuff with higher stats/levels (e.g. the same rusty sword I just got that's now level 9).

I don't write reviews. I'm writing one for this game because it's incredible. Even early access, the devs put so much thought into all possible aspects. It's hard to find any instances of a gotcha with beating the dev teams to an idea. It's dope a.f. 10/10

Love the game, except for the character creation. I sucks the balls.

Pros: Best combat I've found in this sort of game. Always plenty of things to do/explore. Interesting biomes. Gliding is fun. Shroud is a cool mechanic. Mid: Building doesn't have some of the QOL features found in The Forest / Grounded or the complexity of Valheim, but it's still passable. Cons: Crafting progression isn't always clear. Overabundance of NPCs/animals are hard to find or get in the way when moving around base. The number of quests get overwhelming and hard to determine what is important. Bugs: Game randomly deleted my legendary bow mid-fight ;-;

Early access is a poor excuse for issues when it's been over a year. It's been a while since I've had to go into Nvidia control panel and screw around just to get the game to run for 10 mins. Also I think Steam needs to be informed that most of the refund timer is spent "Compiling shaders" Tbh I don't know if the game is good or not, I haven't got that far yet.

Started game, and was told to wait for the shaders to load. 6 minutes later, and only 2% loaded. So it would have taken 300 minutes before I could even start playing... Went to the forums to see if there was a solution to this loading problem. I found a thread, but it had been locked by the devs. This tells me everything I need to know about the devs and the game. Refunded.

The exploration is the only good part of the game. The combat/movement are super floaty. Any terrain that isn't perfectly flat feels like you're on ice skates. The limited stamina system makes the movement even less fun that it should be. Combat is yet another "parry -> counter attack" melee system. The problem with that is most encounters are with more than a single enemy at a time and they will just group up and spam you with attacks. They couldnt decide if they wanted action RPG or souls-like and ended up with some awful compromise that doesnt work. Incredibly boring skill tree that is mostly +1 to stats. Very few skill nodes feel meaningful. The magic trees are hands down the worst.

A survival RPG that actually seems to be able to deliver on its lofty aspirations. The content is staggering, the character customization is decently engaging and the building mechanics and options are amazing.

I kept away from this game long time and eventually bought it to give it a try. I must say that I'm very surprised how good it actually is. Handcrafted world full of beautiful vistas and behind every corner there is something to discover. Also, I don't see misplaced items or foliage like in other games, maybe few but it's acceptable. This game is super underrated, not enough people play it for some reason. I guess I had same reasons before. Damn, this game is good.
