![]() ![]() You find various materials, long grass, rocks, sticks, and more to make your basic supplies like a sling, or maybe a spear that is a glorified sharp stick. This game starts out with a story sequence of you becoming shipwrecked and waking up on a beach, alone with nothing but a knife and the image of a shrine on the top of the island to guide you. Let’s talk a little bit more about Windbound! ![]() You will go from a small canoe to a multi platformed ship full of tools, riding on the wind across the mighty blue sea. MonsterVine was supplied with PS4 code for reviewĪlone with not much more to go on than your wits and intuition, Windbound will put your skills to the test as you struggle to adapt to each new biome, and each new challenge. Platform: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC Windbound is a game that casts you into the middle of a wide wide ocean, dotted with islands containing secrets, resources, and most of all danger! Instead, I was met with an unforgiving sprawling craft and survival game wrapped around an interesting mythos, and a strong sense of unseen lore about it. I've been hit by swings that looked like they missed me by a foot.ħ - Anything that influences your health positively like health shrines or the healing from ending a chapter clears whatever loathing infection you may have.After watching the trailer for this game, I thought I was getting into an experience more akin to a Breath of the Wild style game. A good vantage point helps, both deciding where you need to go and the safest route through the filth.Ħ - Their reach is longer than it ought be, be careful. Try to identify objectives and don't fart about exploring besides. With the above, I was able to complete my business on the infected islands and then leave without taking more than a couple of portions of the stuff. Just watch out for the shield-carriers' charge attacks.ĥ - Acquiring the loathing *is* a sod, but it's one you can endure. This includes abilities like summoning allies, and I've even had the Tricksters abort their ranged attacks for fear of me stabbing them while they're casting. The attacks that can be parried are the ones they use at close range, and they generally won't commit to using their special abilities when you're close enough to stab them. If you're worried about durability as I was, there's a mark that can absorb durability damage instead of your kit.Ĥ - I don't know if it runs contrary to instinct, but especially in light of point one when you're fighting the Forsaken, GET IN CLOSE. ![]() Even the shield ones can be parried to death, though their tells are the most challenging (also pretty much all of the Forsaken's moves have their own tells, it's worth getting a feel for them).Ģ - There's a Mark that boosts damage even further after parrying, which only compounds the above.ģ - The Spectral Spear is not enormously hard to craft once you've taken out a couple of Forsaken on your own, and that also makes point 1 all the more effective. The parry mask will make that easier, but once you get a feel for the timings (and for which moves you can't parry) you can take out most of the normal ones in three or so hits with just the Guardian Spear. So a few points you might find helpful:ġ - The Forsaken are *really* vulnerable to being parried. Setting aside keybinding worries, the Forsaken are not that bad once you get past the initial intimidation and I finished the game (as of a few minutes ago) without ever actually needing to use anything to clear the loathing thanks to a few quirks of how the game progressed. ![]()
