Windbound is a game with a great concept. Sadly there is nothing to do along the way before reaching another island. Things like gravity, buoyancy, drag, and wind forces all affect how the boat controls and the direction you are headed. Sailing through procedurally generated islands of the archipelago is fun and calming. The best part of the game is definitely sailing. There are also shrines scattered around the world that can improve your health and stamina, but you really don’t need it. Giving you some level of depth in the game. Sea shards can be collected along the way, these can increase Kara’s passive abilities. The creatures AI is pretty bad and the combat, rolling and on-foot movement feel of and are kind of slow There is no targeting, so you have the spin the camera around constantly to see where your target is at. The hunting/fighting mechanic is not the main focus of the game, like in Breath of the Wild and it shows. The gathering and crafting are what you expect in these kinds of games. The core gameplay loop focuses on progressing through the game by hunting, gathering resources, crafting, and boat-building. Windbound is a mix between survival-crafting and single-player open-world adventure game This is a thing you won’t expect of a game focused on islands with a vast open sea because there is not much loaded at a time. The game also suffers from object popping-in when getting close. This takes away from the emerging of the game. It almost seems like the game is missing some frames in the animations here and there, which makes the game look jittery. The game also doesn’t run all that smoothly and not in the frame dropping kind of way. This was for me especially noticeable with the cutscene that grants you the Oar of the Ancestors, with the rocks looking absolutely horrible The game has a cell-shaded art-style but has some lighting glitches and when looking at the environment close-up has some low-quality textures. Windbound has 2 difficulty modes, Storyteller and survivalist, the latter will put you all the way back to Chapter 1 of the game and makes you lose a substantial amount of your inventory.
The only other thing that can be done is to gear-up by gathering supplies etc. There are no side quests or any other quests to complete along the way. Each chapter is functionally the same but the map size grows and the creatures become stronger. Activate all 3 of these towers and head to the shrine. Each chapter has you explore a circular map/world which contains three towers. The story of windbound is split-up into five chapters. You play as the character Kara, a shipwrecked warrior, separated from her clan. Yes, the game looks like these games in the trailer but hands-on I experienced it differently I was so happy after killing that 3rd chapter boss! I finally did it!.Windbound is a game that gets compared to a mix of The Wind Waker and Breath of the Wild from the Legend of Zelda series.
that you can't make until the next chapter after that boss. only winning once with mind you, a item that i got out of a blue pot on chance. Like I said, this game did me dirty with that same boss 6 times over. and didn't stop making cheep shot attacks at me while i was still trying to get up. I tried to out maneuver it but the camera froze then yanked in a different direction. only this time after I threw a oil bomb at it, taking down a lot of it's hp. the game saved my progress just until i went to the 3rd chapter boss. until I went to the offering stone on the next checkpoint, it glitched into not letting me get out of it's menu until i closed the program!Īll 3 glitches did the following to kill me after i reloaded and took on the boss a 6th time. After dying so many times from first and second glitch, i managed to get all the blessings.
seriously the 5 battles I did, it did this to me, only once did I find by chance from a blue pot drop, 3 oil bombs to shove down it's throat and kill it fast enough!ģ. Boss on third chapter will not let you get back up after it knocks you prone, and keeps attacking while you are down until you die. Camera hanging as it loads the map, then jerking around like madness!Ģ. I HAVE RAN OUT OF PATIENTS WITH THIS GAME!!! I REFUSE TO SUPPORT IT OR RECOMMEND, UNTIL THEY FIX THE 3 GLITCHES THAT WORKED TOGETHER TO KILL ME!!!ġ. the camera glitched and went wild like it always does, and the boss knocked me prone, then wouldn't let me get back up to dodge more of his attacks! Super stupid glitch! it wouldn't let me exit the menu! BEWARE! Once you get all blessings, it holds you hostage if you go to the next offering stone on the next checkpoint! it made me redo the boss, and of course.
