“Terribly optimized. I had a lot of fun playing this when it first came out, but it's constant performance Issues, which have gotten worse with every major update, have led me to uninstalling the game. Once held 144 fps…”
“I wish there was a neutral choice instead of like/dislike because I do "like" building still in the game (which is most of my time spent), but I "dislike" the actual game itself. Building: I've been playing Enshrouded…”

“Due to how much Enshrouded borrows from Valheim, this review will be a feature-by-feature comparison between the two games, but I'll start with my overall impression: Valheim is a labor of love created by 5 indie…”
“No other game made me feel more immersed. I dont know who designed the Forest but he deserves an award. If you play with friends or loved ones this was for me one of the best gaming experiences of the last 10 Years.”
“Game was already so good before update 8 but this update made it into one of the best games I've played, combat feels greater than ever, visuals got upgraded and somehow I have better fps, exploration has always been…”

“Hi its safe to say that I love this game after playing almost 2000 hours. I love the freedom that game give to let my creativity run wild. I recommend it to any one who want to create and challenge themselves”
“I like it a lot. You can tell by my 100+ hours that I've played a decent amount. But I still have a lot to go, and the game is still getting major updates! I've mostly played solo, though I've run a few bosses and…”
“This will be my first ever steam review. I have a decent sized library and I havent been this immersed in a game for a while now, and this game has a lot to do but it doesn't get overwhelming and it feels rewarding.…”

“Initally, I struggled with this game as I played heavy melee, but after switch around my class, game was a 7-8 out of 10, but this newest update on 4/21 has increased it to 10/10. Liking it alot, lots of quality of life…”

“A bit over rec specs, well over min specs, struggling to maintain 40fps with large amounts of stutter/hitching while moving through the world. Graphical settings set to minimum across the board has the game looking…”
“Game runs really poorly, but looks interesting. Not recommended yet but am excited to see where this goes.”

“Good game but it becomes quite a headache frequently because there is a lot of verticality in the world and no good tools to deal with it. ZERO ascension/climbing tools. So, you can end up running around in some cases…”
“The most recent update 8 ruined the smooth overland traversal and platforming. Movement feels slow to respond, and quicker to stop. Gliding movement is not as playful and fun to use; this includes the terrible rework of…”

“I download the game, 20min of shaders and then the game crash and i cant start it , so ♥♥♥♥ this ♥♥♥♥”
“Played about 130hrs since Enshrouded was available for DL. I loved the game at first...but crash after crash keeps happening and now I'm reluctant to play it at all. If you are looking at buying Enshrouded, I would…”
“The game is fun but i cant play longer then 30 mins without it crashihg, so i've refunded it. if its good to go once 1.0 drops ill buy it again.”

“Formerly excellent game, great looking „fantasy Valheim” that suffers from two decisions: a) Hardlocking progress (character, map), in the same way as Valheim did. You can't go THERE yet. You need to go HERE and have…”
“This is honestly one of more beautiful and worked out games within this genre, offering a bit of everything: Exploring the vast open world, base building, character builds, and rewarding combat mechanics. It even has…”
“Overall, one of the best games I've ever played. Plays like a mix between Valheim and Legend of Zelda. Would highly recommend to people who like exploring type games. I have two gripes that hopefully the developers can…”

“I have to give it a thumbs DOWN. Not because the game is bad but because of how infuriating the latest UPDATE ( its a downgrade at this point ) is. Im 44 years old and i never seen a game with this much attention to…”
“A decent game, great builder, but the characters look like plain half hobbits, nothing related to the characters or combat looks or feels cool, the combat is floaty, unresponsive, the story is just pain, nothing…”

“Enshrouded is one of those rare games that feel comfy. You just feel good while playing it. Even tho it's still in early access, Enshrouded gets regular updates, some of them being massive, like Wake of the Water, that added a whole new biome and water physics. Game looks…”
— a player, Steam review · 185 hrs played“I'm on my 3rd playthrough with my husband. We are totally hooked on this game. I've played a lot of survival games. Usually I get so bored in the lifeless world. But this game, the story is intriguing, the combat is fun, the characters make me actually call them by name when I…”
— a player, Steam review · 680 hrs played“The game is a lot of fun with massive bang for your buck. You can spend hours just exploring and fighting, all while finding loot that respects and rewards your effort. When this game goes into 1.0, it will likely be a total gem that is worth adding to your library. I played…”
