PPG Enshrouded Review

After around 80 hours in Enshrouded, I can confidently say it is one of the strongest survival RPGs in early access right now. It combines exploration, crafting, combat, and base building into a well-paced and satisfying experience that rewards curiosity and preparation. Character progression offers real flexibility. You can focus on melee, ranged, or magic builds, and each path feels distinct thanks to meaningful skill trees and well-balanced stat scaling. The stamina and weight systems add a tactical element to both combat and exploration without becoming tedious. The voxel-based building system is a standout feature. It allows precise control, creative architecture, and easy collaboration in co-op. Crafting and upgrading follow a logical progression, pushing you to explore deeper zones and gather rarer materials. Exploration is the heart of the game. The world feels handcrafted, with layered environments, hidden dungeons, and vertical mobility supported by climbing and gliding. The Shroud zones create tension and challenge, rewarding players who plan their expeditions carefully. Combat is responsive but could use more variety in enemy design and animations. Mixing weapons, spells, and traps gives encounters good depth, though endgame balance still needs work. Performance is generally solid but not perfect, with small frame dips in dense areas. Overall, Enshrouded feels like a mix of Valheim and Skyrim with the creative freedom of a voxel builder. It is a game that keeps pulling you back in to build, explore, and experiment, and it has huge potential as updates continue to expand its systems and world.
