And with pleasant music to match, Windbound definitely appeals to the senses. However you want to describe it, the visual style is warm, friendly, and familiar, making Windbound a game that’s extremely easy to gravitate towards. I really appreciate the style, as it is easily reminiscent of Breath of the Wild, but perhaps more Disney-fied (for lack of a better term). The aesthetics of Windbound are easy to appreciate - they’re gorgeous, both audibly and visually. Progression has a logical flow, and moving from one goal to the next is both intuitive and exhilarating. As is the nature of crafting games, there are a lot of opportunities for clunky UI, but Windbound handled the variety of menus in a simple, easily digestible manner. Nothing sticks and everything is really clean. Windbound’s controls are fairly intuitive, as WASD controls movement, space jump, E for interacting and I for inventory. By crafting, hunting, sailing, and exploring will Kara unlock the secrets of the beacons and rejoin her companions. Further collecting will yield food items and materials to make weapons, which can then be used to hunt the various creatures that live on these small grassy islands for food and crafting items. Armed with only a knife at the beginning, Kara will be able to collect tall grasses, rocks, and other crafting materials to make a serviceable raft. Players will take control of Kara and explore her immediate surroundings.
Now it’s up to her to survive alone on these islands while unraveling the mystery behind the beacons, faring the seas, and finding her way back to her people. Suddenly, awake and alert, Kara finds herself abandoned without her seacraft on a small island, with mysterious beacons within sight. As she slipped beneath the surface, something mysterious beckoned to her, and as she regained consciousness, she heeded its call. Brave sailors, try as they might, fought valiantly against the currents, but for one unlucky warrior - Kara - the monster that dwell below caught her boat in its tentacled grasp. Windbound opens up on a stormy night on treacherous seas. With a friendly price of $29.99, this action/adventure survival title simultaneously gives off both Wind Waker and Breath of the Wild vibes with a heavy dash of Disney’s Moana, but does it deliver? Only one way to find out! For those of us stuck in concrete jungles, the latter activity has been a bit hard to do therefore, I’m pretty grateful for games like Windbound that bring the outdoors to me from the comfort of my own home.ĭeveloper 5 Lives Studios and publisher Deep Silver will be releasing Windbound on August 28 for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. With bars, clubs, and other venues/activities closed, there’s really little else to safely do. The two hobbies that have been pushed to the forefront this year have easily been video games and exploring the great outdoors.
