Though of course, we’ll try to keep you up to date with any developments too. And if you want to know more about the game, keep an eye on its website. Just watch the announcement trailer below if you don’t believe us. It’s come out of nowhere, but Windbound – Brave the Storm really does look like it could be something special. Once resources have been depleted on one island, how are you going to get to the next without it? To explore the Forbidden Islands, you’ll needs to build and maintain your very own sailing vessel. And slowly but surely, she must also solve the mysteries of the islands she’s found herself amongst. Played from a 3rd-person viewpoint, Kara must learn to adapt and survive, engaging in hunting, exploration and crafting. ![]() In Windbound – Brave the Storm, players take control of Kara, who has found herself shipwrecked in an unknown land. Set to launch digitally on PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC on 28th August, Windbound – Brave the Storm aims to revitalise the survival genre, with a visual style that’s hugely reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and that’s not a bad thing. As it stands, this game feels like an Early Access indie title, and not a final release.Deep Silver has announced Windbound – Brave the Storm, a wonderful looking new IP created by Australian developer 5 Lives Studio. The procedural generation needs to be balanced to have a better spread of resources, so the game doesn't feel like it's punishing players for bad luck. In the end, Windbound feels like a great concept. It's not even that the towers are a challenge to climb, but the annoying ledge mechanic makes them a tedious chore. For such an integral piece of the game, this should've been polished a lot more. Jumping to a ledge doesn't trigger the climb animation a lot of times. Meanwhile, the required towers feels like they were just an afterthought. But the starting combat is so unsatisfying that you'll be likely to turn off the game before getting to that point. I know there's better weapons and skills later on. Combat tactics usually boil down to standing on a boulder and throwing rocks at an enemy, as they are unable to reach you here. Unfortunately, these are just as unpolished. ![]() This clash in mechanics could've been forgiven somewhat if the controls were smooth enough. Which in effect kills the seemingly calm aesthetic that the game is trying to push. Which depletes at such a high rate that it forces you to rush from island to island. The most annoying thing is when it fails to generate enough food to satiate the ridiculous hunger meter. Forcing me to leave it behind since I wasn't able to craft any storage yet. At times, I've found resources I'd have no use for yet early in the game, while giving me nothing that I could use. The game regularly fails to generate appropriate resources for the player to use. ![]() While the survival aspect does add a certain flair to the isolation of the story. Meanwhile, the player needs to maintain a boat, craft equipment, and feed a hunger meter. Each chapter increases the ocean's size and available islands. The goal is to activate 3 towers and then go to a large shrine to go to the next chapter. Windbound starts you of in an ocean with a few procedurally generated islands. This is a game where luck matters more than skill, most of the time. Yet, it's interesting mechanics clash so drastically that it ultimately strips them of their enjoyment. It offers Wind Waker nostalgia in a sandbox(y) setting. Yet, The premise of this game is intriguing. I haven't encountered any bugs btw, and I truly appreciate the work that was put into this game. It felt like a relaxing trip on a warm summer day. What also helped me appreciate the game more is that Moana is my favorite movie and it reminds of that a bit, and the fact that I have played it in the summer which has also helped with the immersion. Will you be able to gather all of the necessary materials she. Although I have played around 200 games, this was my first survival game, and I didn't like the survival mechanics at first, because I was bad at it, but I have learned to like it as I got better at it. Windbound 40 at Xbox Hunt, gather, sail Kara has been separated from her tribe and must learn to hunt, craft, and sail the seas. I loved the scenery, which is truly peaceful and beautiful, the sailing mechanics are very interesting and the sailing is my favorite thing to do in the game, and building your own boat is also exciting. I really enjoyed it and it felt like a journey. I loved the scenery, This game is not for everyone, but that does not mean it's a bad game. ![]() This game is not for everyone, but that does not mean it's a bad game.
