Description
After my first two hours with Windward, the open-world sailing RPG from Tasharen Entertainment, I had a single thought in my head: is this all there is? After four more hours, I had another thought: if this is all there is, why the hell can't I stop playing it?
I'm of two minds about nearly every aspect of Windward. I love games I can pick up quickly, and Windward definitely fits that bill. Within a few minutes of playing you'll have entirely grasped the basics of the game. Engage in ship-to-ship combat with pirates and enemy factions, capture towns, sentry posts, and lighthouses (or build your own), turn a profit by transporting cargo or passengers from one port to another, and use those profits to upgrade your ship and crew or buy a bigger, better ship. Sailing is a snap, using either WASD or the mouse, and the space bar to drop anchor.
