I hadn't heard of this game before, but I got quite interested after seeing this! Unfortunately it sounds like survival is kind of the main component of the game, and that is something I'm not usually a big fan of. I was hoping it was just a game where you could sail around and not worry about enemies. Just exploration of a beautiful world. I have Sea of Thieves, but that game is the opposite of relaxing thanks to toxic PvPers! I was hoping this could be a more relaxing equivalent.

I've got this game but I'm not sure if I would really recommend it.. When I played it, which was the week after its release, It suffered from a bunch of game breaking bugs. Seems like a lot of them were adressed so it might be a better experience now.

Apart from the bugs you were constantly harassed about needing food. The food doesn't last long enough to create a sort of stash. But, they adressed this as well.
There's not a lot of different enemies, meaning you won't have to learn a lot of different patterns to survive. However, they don't scale that well so if you're playing in survivalist mode you need to actually be carefull in every fight, even when trying to discern the pattern of the enemy. Although that's part of its charm (really, it does make you careful to survive instead of blasting through) it made the beginning harder than the end, as you needed to learn the patterns of a new enemy while your limited food had you pushing for a victory to get that meat.

All in all I definitely wouldn't have recommended it right after playing it, but seeing the bugs and issues they've adressed thus far and the support they're giving it I change my opinion to "grab it on sale if it's your thing".
It seems there's an adventurer mode where the survival part is a lot easier, that might be something for you. Don't expect a massive world to explore though. It's mainly a big circle with a bunch of islands in it and some "hidden" ones where you get extra bonuses.

Ughhhh... why bother. Okay so they drop the 360 but why not then add another XBO title to make up for it.

MIDGETonSTILTS17573d ago

Because they are seeing if anybody complains. Considering their brand loyalty throughout a 2-gen-length AAA exclusives drought, it’s fair for them to bet on nobody caring enough to jump ship.

Until “the games are coming” stops working, or the games do arrive, whichever comes first, I don’t expect more than this sorta shenanigans.

porkChop572d ago

I would be fine with just two games if they'd up the quality of the games they give.

strifeblade572d ago (Edited 572d ago )

Actually I'm good I have gamepass ultimate so I get games every few days. I understand though it would matter more for playstation users if they had a game dropped from ps plus because most of the user base does not subscribe to ps plus extra so they would notice it way more.

MIDGETonSTILTS17572d ago

How about the people who just sub to Gold, and have seen the cost double while the free games offered has been cut in half without warning?

strifeblade572d ago

@midget
Why would you spend double on a subscription. You can't be that I'll informed. Type gold onto Google and just grab a deal.

They're you go. You're welcome. Right there 6 months for around 30 cad. And then you can upgrade that to ultimate. I did that for 3 years and spent 110$ total. Like come on man. If you wanted gold or ultimate for cheap its so easy. Just open your eyes and have a credit card. Even a guy from everest college can do it.

It's so easy. *walks away from the middle of a random parking lot*

monkey602573d ago

Oh my word! Windbound is a decent game! Did Xbox actually just give a good game with GWG?! 😱

RGB573d ago

Xbox working their way towards making people sign up to GP, doubling the price of Gold didn't work, so halving GWG content monthly is the next natural step, if people don't complain, expect only 1 game per month, then none.

Lightning77572d ago

No complaints over here I'll just let it die. It's not worth anything Anymore. Leave it to the casuals they'll play anything.

This is just sad. Take it out back and put it down, for chrissakes!

Father__Merrin572d ago

Absolutely pathetic. 4 games was ok now it's 2.....ps @re any of these tours to keep?

darthv72572d ago

to keep... nope. Only og and 360 ones are.

Father__Merrin572d ago

So basically this is same service minus x2 back compat games. Surely they could have rolled back to the start of back compat games? I've only nabbed back compat free titles from Nov 2021 onwards

darthv72572d ago

^^thats it... you been missing out brother. And yeah they should have looked at more og xbox or other 360 games that had not made the rotation. i swear they gave away too human several times as well as a few others. The og xbox they barely scratched the surface for back compat games.
