You’ll also discover mysterious towers that emanate blue light, which bestow blessings, uncover lore, and serve as progression markers. Recipes to make different things–tools, weapons, fire, and recipes for food and armor, will come as you continue to explore and discover. You’ll begin your adventures as a gatherer, picking up rocks and hacking at grass with your trusty knife. Unfortunately, in Windbound, even once you’ve mastered the mechanics and have a few chapters under your belt, it’s fully possible to starve to death while cooking your next meal over the fire even in its lowest difficulty “Storyteller” mode. This would be fine, and works in other games, because the survival mechanics aren’t super severe. The game is afoot as soon as you’re conscious, and you’ll be battling hunger and scraping for resources immediately. This is what you’ll find early on in Windbound. Open worlds are great until they’re not, and what usually makes them less than great is a lack of proper amounts of feedback. Windbound is extremely open world, much like Breath of the Wild was, but in Windbound’s case this works against it. Though it seems she’s the only person on the planet, she’s simply shipwrecked and alone, separated from her tribe. Unfortunately, once the controls are yours, you find the frustrations come in at least equal part to the fun. It’s immediately compelling, and before I even got through the initial cut scenes I was excited to play it. You’ll find yourself washed up on a mysterious island and have to piece together what happened to you while trying to make it another day. Windbound is a game that takes cues from a lot of great titles, like Breath of the Wild and Sea of Thieves.
This can lead to a great triumph, a catastrophe, or, in some cases, something in between. That said, it doesn’t usually stop creators. Taking on too much all at once is usually a bad idea.
