🛡️ Enshrouded – 100+ Hours Later, Here’s Where It Stands (June 23, 2025) I've been playing Enshrouded with friends for over 70 hours now, and while it’s still in development, I think I've seen enough to share some impressions. Consider this a snapshot in time, not a final verdict. ✅ The Good 🎨 Graphics & World Design Of all the base-building/adventure games I've played recently, Enshrouded feels the most polished visually. Lighting, textures, biomes, and building decor all come together beautifully. Compared to Valheim or V Rising, where things eventually start to feel repetitive, Enshrouded keeps things visually fresh and interesting longer. 🧠 Optimization (esp. on AMD) I first tried the demo when AMD users were getting warning messages. That’s changed. Now the game runs remarkably well, and honestly feels smoother than many full releases. 🏠 Base Building This is one of the game’s strongest features. Even though we’re not exactly mansion-building architects, the system was intuitive and fun enough to inspire creativity. I’d love to see Valheim-style physics introduced eventually — where structural integrity matters — but even without that, base-building is satisfying. 🪂 Traversal The glider system is brilliant. Way better than Valheim’s slow boating and swim-heavy travel. It cuts down tedium and encourages exploration without frustration. 🤔 The Mixed Bag ⚔️ Character Building I was excited to see proper skill trees, unlike the minimalist approach in Valheim. But they don’t quite synergize as they should. It feels like a half-finished system — pick some random perks and you're more or less fine. 🌍 The World Feels Empty Not the Shroud — the actual world. Outside of rescued NPCs, there’s little to discover in terms of life, story, or dynamic events. No traveling traders, no ambient world events, no quest-givers. It’s beautiful but feels underpopulated. 🥊 Combat Not bad, just barebones. Needs deeper class synergy, spell combos, buffs, and combat depth overall. Right now it’s functional, not exciting. 📚 Storytelling There is a story, but it’s mostly told through journals and logs. After a while, I just stopped caring. A more engaging delivery method would go a long way. 🎮 Controller Mapping (Especially for Building) Default controls are awkward. I had to remap everything manually for it to feel right, especially during building. Thankfully, that fixed it. 🌐 Server Performance Works fine with 3-4 players, but becomes spotty beyond that. Needs optimization. ❌ The Frustrating Stuff 📦 Chest Grinding & Loot Progression This broke the game for us. The best gear can be looted from static chests that you can reach early on. We got OP too fast, which made the rest of the content trivial. Yes, you can choose not to loot them — but in a group, if even one person does, you’re out of balance. Top-tier gear should be earned, not found lying around. Tie it to hard quests, crafting blueprints, or endgame dungeons. Also — why does 95% of loot from chests feel like junk? 🧾 Quests They’re all fetch quests. It’s 2024 — surely we can do better than "bring me 5 mushrooms." 🧠 Suggestions for the Future ⚔️ Harder group dungeons with puzzles and unique rewards — mini-raids, basically 🐾 Pets or companions 🐧 Native Linux support for dedicated servers 🌈 HDR support — the game is gorgeous and HDR would make it pop even more 🎯 Final Thoughts Despite its flaws, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Enshrouded. In the open-world action builder genre, it’s one of the best out there right now. It builds on its predecessors’ strengths (Valheim, V Rising) and meaningfully improves in areas like traversal, building, and polish. There’s a lot of potential here. If the devs keep improving on the weaker systems (combat, world depth, loot balance), Enshrouded could become a genre classic. Thanks for reading — hope this helps someone decide whether to jump in!

Enshrouded, in short, is almost everything you could want from an RPG/Builder hybrid. It has some of the best building systems I've ever seen. This is where the game really shines. You even have people and animals to make your towns feel alive. The combat is pretty decent. Nothing really new here but that isn't a bad thing in this case. The talent tree is not too deep nor too simple, meaning you probably won't have to research your choices to be effective at what you want to be while also not being able to fill the entire tree making you have to make choices but also forgiving with the ability to reallocate your points. The area where the game still needs the most work is the RPG/Story aspect. The story isn't bad, there just isn't much of it, or lore/history to uncover but the game is still in EA so still time to improve. Character creator is abysmal for 2024. Please devs work on this if possible. Update: character creator still isn't great but now at least you can make changes at the barber. Though not perfect, Enshrouded is already a great game that gets better every update, a great value even at full price, and an absolute steal when on sale. 9/10 at the time of this review(updated) Update: New game update "Pact of the Flame" and 2025 roadmap shows the devs are listening to the players and giving us what we want with many requested features now and on the way.

Enshrouded, as an Early Access title, does some things well and some not so well, but it is all subject to change. We'll see how things go over the next few years. Overall, it's fun enough, and the developers have been very forthcoming with game additions and are also very open and responsive to player feedback. This game does Early Access right. Pros: -Gorgeous visuals -Gorgeous world, procedurally-generated and then lovingly populated with hand-crafted locations -Incredible, detailed and interesting dungeons to delve through, filled with puzzles and environment hazards -Beautiful, if inconsistent, armor and weapon designs, which are fun to collect. -A fairly robust building system, with benefits to decorating and constructing a base that you then populate with craftspeople and villagers -Simple, but satisfying combat -A leveling system that revolves around perks instead of stat increases (though you can still boost your stats from the perk tree) -Dedicated cosmetic slots for your armor, with options to hide both your headgear and your gloves -Fully cosmetic clothing sets to find behind exploration and bosses -A food-based buff system, wherein the food you eat increases your stats and stat regeneration -Lots of lore to discover through characters, locales, obelisks and books throughout the world -Highly customizable game settings, including the ability to turn off weapon and tool durability or turn on starvation mechanics Cons: -The bonuses from armor and weapons are largely pointless, or too small to make much of a difference. Some are even entirely pointless, such as one set that offers a small 10-20% bonus to unarmed damage, with unarmed attacks dealing only 8 damage to enemies (when your mace is doing over 400 per swing, and swings faster than your fists) -There are tons of weapons, but there are very little differences between weapons of the same class: All one-handed weapons use the same three-swing combo, regardless of what the weapon actually is, and even legendary items don't have anything to differentiate them outside of their raw damage and visuals -The few weapons with "unique" effects are things like 5% lifesteal, 1 point of health regen, or some bonus critical chance and damage. None of the weapons are build-defining or unique in any meaningful way. For example, the "Dragon Sword", found only one hidden place and tied to a piece of esoteric lore found in your travels, just adds a flat +7 fire damage... Five times in a row. The Dragon Sword is a weapon with nothing going for it except minuscule damage bonuses that don't even interact with your perks. -Extremely linear item and location progression: New areas are blocked off by "Deadly Shroud," a gas that simply kills you if you haven't leveled up your base enough yet (using the heads of bosses and regional materials). Essentially, your ability to explore the "open world" aspect of the game is heavily restricted by boss progression. -Heavily reused enemies with very limited attack variety -The magic system is bland, being exclusively ranged elemental attacks and two healing spells. There is no utility magic to speak of, outside of a single knockback spell -The perks you gain from leveling are very restrictive in what they affect, very strictly confining their offerings to their respective stat tree (Strength, Intelligence, Dexterity) with very little overlap -Every quest is a fetch or kill quest with some lore sprinkled around it. "Skyrim quest" is how I would describe them: Talk to a person, go to a place, get a thing, repeat until you run out of quests

Overall is a fun game to play. However, there is no pause function in single player. Developer should consider add in this feature as some of us are parents and need to attend our kids

This is my first review on steam. And I am so excited to write it. I am a cozy gamer- I'm talking animal crossing, stardew valley, overcooked, stray, etc. I love the zelda games, especially breath of the wild but I spent HOURS climbing mountains just to avoid enemies and bosses. So a survival game was the last thing I thought I might like but Enshrouded has won me over. It feels like the natural progression for me from Stardew and Zelda. I absolutely loved that I could really customize the gameplay (even before the most recent update that allowed for difficulty settings) to what I enjoyed the most. So many quests are essentially optional or can be delayed, so I could wait to do a really hard one until I felt comfortable because I got plenty of XP from mining or exploring. I love the base building, and the fact that we can reused already existing buildings! Blue Goblet tavern, anyone? Honestly this has so many elements in a game that I didn't know I wanted but now I don't wanna play a game without them. There's so much I love. But I'm going to share some things I hope they address in the future: - The other survivors. They feel very flat. I'd love it if they had some preferences or maybe things they'd like for me to do for them aside from finding their things. Maybe they want their room to have a better bed, or a side table, etc. We all live in this space together, they can have an opinion too. - Wtf is up with how this game was developed that I have to run this game on Performance graphics even tho I run BG3 on High/Ultra???? The lower quality visuals didn't bother me, but like seriously wtf this game is not more taxing than BG3?? I'm so confused on this. - The hallow halls messaging says you should have friends to do it with you, which I don't have friends who play this game so I got scared that since I'm bad at combat, I wouldn't do well. So I put it off until I was way overpowered. So I feel like the messaging could be adjusted to give a level recommendation. Or maybe I'm just the only big baby who is scared of combat who would play this lol. Last request: please keep the storyline going! I've learned so much about the world, but what about my place in it? What am I doing? Why am I clearing the shroud roots if they just re-appear? I know it's early access but I love the game so much I am dying to see what else happens in the world. I'm sold on the story, I want the next chapter :) I just 'finished' this week and saw the new update and I am so excited to start from the beginning and experience this new update. I just wish I had friends who also played this game and wanted to do it with me.
