Enshrouded is a survival horror game set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by mysterious creatures. Players navigate dark and atmospheric environments, scavenging for resources while unraveling the secrets of their surroundings. The game focuses on survival mechanics such as managing limited supplies, crafting makeshift weapons, and avoiding deadly encounters with hostile entities. With its emphasis on exploration and tension-filled gameplay, Enshrouded delivers a haunting experience that keeps players on edge as they uncover the truth behind the apocalypse. Whether braving the unknown alone or teaming up with others in multiplayer, Enshrouded challenges players to survive in a world where every decision could mean life or death.

A basic description of Enshroud is it’s a fantasy survival game where its unique twist is the world has been ruined by the ‘Shroud’ a deadly fog. In Enshrouded, you can explore a world with many secrets, kill enemies and bosses, find hidden loot, and build cool bases. The game has a class system where you can be a normal warrior, a mage, a healer or even a Beastmaster. Towards the end of the game getting things can be a bit of a grind, especially if you have the maximum of 16 people on your server, but its not like hundreds of hours. My favorite part of the game would have to be the ability to dig underground and modify the terrain, although its ability to save, is restricted to your build area, I still found it fun digging big tunnels and trolling my friends with them. Due to Enshrouded not being a finished game it doesn’t have as much content available as some other games, but the developers are working hard and adding new content regularly, so I would still recommend playing this game.
