Overview
Daniel evaluated the early access game Enshrouded, awarding it a 6.2 out of 10 score and declining to recommend it due to shortcomings in its RPG, combat, crafting, and building elements.
The game's opening features a lack of starting equipment, unhelpful navigation guidance, awkward character animations, outdated graphics, and clunky movement physics relative to games like Elden Ring or Dark Souls.
Early survival gameplay lacks weapon drops from crates, prevents wood harvesting through tree-punching, and leaves the player vulnerable to enemy attacks, alongside terrain glitches such as getting stuck in bridge pillars.
In comparison to alternatives, Enshrouded's tile-based base building falls short of Sons of the Forest, and its overall progression trails Palworld, though its medieval RPG setting and approximately £11 early access price may appeal to casual group play.
