What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $22.49, set in September 2026. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 24 in the 3 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 3 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 4 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 87 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Necesse ($9.74, scores 79) beats it on value, while it beats Niffelheim ($19.99, scores 20).
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 21 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 50 percent of the 5,285 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.
105,519 people have reviewed it, which is a big enough crowd to settle the number.

What players say
This game is terrible for co-op play. I loved the game on my private server so I rented a dedicated one to have my friends join in. The problem is the server-based progress and the unlocked NPCs. The game is only rewarding if you are all playing together and unlocking things as a group. Otherwise, if you're playing and questing on your own, your server mates miss out. Sorry! Also, the unlocked NPCs are...
I'll start off by saying that I don't actually want to leave a negative review. I didn't get very far in Enshrouded but even early on, I was enjoying it enormously, for all the same reasons many others have outlined in their reviews: gorgeous vistas, fun combat-ranger especially tickles much of the same satisfaction as the classic stealth-archer builds of Skyrim, with a bigger power fantasy-and of course, the...
Seeing so many negative reviews for this game breaks my heart. This is genuinely everything you could ever want from this type of open world game, it has some of the most in depth crafting/cooking systems and world detail and building capabilities I've EVER seen, and I mostly play survivalcraft stuff. If you can conceptualize a build, you can make it in this game with almost zero limitations, more detailed than...
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Enshrouded scores 67/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1203620/enshroudedThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 12, price as of Sep 24.
