Eight hundred and fifty-four reviews. That’s all Everwind has. It sits at #10 on Steam’s Top Sellers chart anyway, shoulder-to-shoulder with juggernauts like Crimson Desert, Slay the Spire 2, and Resident Evil Requiem.

Enjoy Studio S.A., a small Polish developer best known for porting work, launched the first-person survival RPG into Early Access on March 17 through Bohemia Interactive’s Incubator label. Three days later, the game has peaked at 8,084 concurrent players, currently holds around 7,000, and carries an 85% positive rating — a “Very Positive” badge on Steam.

The numbers are striking in context. Every other title in the Top 10 is backed by massive marketing spend or years of built-in audience. Everwind had nearly a million wishlists — impressive for an indie — but converting wishlists into chart position during one of the busiest stretches of new releases in 2026 is a different trick entirely. At $22.49 with a 10% launch discount, it’s also one of the cheapest games on the board.

The pitch is easy to parse: Minecraft-meets-Valheim on floating islands, with RPG progression, destructible voxel environments, and co-op for up to four players. A successful Kickstarter last year funded development, and the airship-building hook has clearly resonated.

The Five-Hour Wall

But the review data tells a more complicated story. One highly-visible Steam review captures the early access tension perfectly: the player recommended Everwind after three hours, then retracted at 5.6, citing an inability to pause and frustrating control issues. Other negative reviews flag missing keybinding options and a lack of basic quality-of-life features.

At 85% positive from 854 reviews, the ratio is solid but fragile. A few hundred more mixed verdicts from players hitting that five-hour wall could shift the rating fast.

Enjoy Studio says Early Access will last at least a year, with dedicated servers, story content, and a hardcore mode on the roadmap. The foundation is clearly there. Whether the studio can patch faster than goodwill erodes is the only question that matters now.
