The world of Windbound is immediately inviting, with sun-drenched islands playing host to all manner of charming creatures that act as adorable food sources, crafting material pinatas or macabre beasts that with a bit of finesse, can be turned into highly beneficial tools or weapons for your journey. In addition to this, you also have a boat that you can both build and use to sail across islands, all in a bid to find your way back home. As this is survival game, you also have crafting mechanics which see you needing to harvest materials and creature parts to succeed in cooking, building and creating weaponry to make your life easier. You can lock on to enemies with the pull of a left trigger, strafe around them, attack and leap away with correct management of your stamina bar being the key to success. The gameplay will be mostly familiar to those who have played the Zelda franchise. You begin with little to your name other than miniscule carrying space, an unbreakable knife and shortly after starting, an ore which forms the basis of your seafaring adventures.
It is your job as the player to survive and sail across archipelagos that stretch as far as the eye can see (and beyond). You play as Kara, a lone nomadic warrior that has found herself separated from her seafaring clan as she encounters a giant creature that knocks her from her raft and leaves her marooned on a deserted island.
#WINDBOUND SHARK SKIN#
It was only after diving into the game that I found that this was mostly skin deep, that 5 Lives Studios’ Windbound had more to offer than influence, that the game was altogether different and brutal beast in itself. When I first watched the trailer for Windbound, I thought the same as many would have done when seeing a cartoonish cel-shaded title that bore a more than striking resemblance to that of the later Zelda games.
