A new open world game, Where Winds Meet, is promising a lush grand world to explore in medieval China.
Where Winds Meet is officially launching this year, with a planned closed beta arriving this May on PS5 and PC.
Wasn’t this game released in China last year?
I can’t tell if this game is great or terrible. Saw some awesome gameplay,.. but also a couple of terrible ones. Its F2P right?
Hanzala from eXputer: "Recently, Soulslikes and Soulslike mechanics in games have become a little too frequent, to the point that I wish for something different."
It's not just you. Honestly, it feels like people have forgotten how to make a regular hack and slash without making it a souls like.
I just have a hard time getting into souls like games. Even the side stroller ones which I generally really enjoy i have a hard time wanting to play them. I'm not looking forward to dieing over and over just to replay the same parts. Someday I'll try some of the ones I haven't. Lies of p seemed interesting, blasphemous, etc
My issue to, like there's definitely a place for souls-likes, and i love me some souls-likes, but theres just too many and i am starved of a good hack and slash game with linear, gratifying progression. Im tired of the whole schtick being that im going to die and keep losing bits of progress all the time.
Completely agree. While I do see the draw of the souls like games, as someone with limited time to game, I never play them. I just can't justify spending days trying to fight the same boss and memorize it's patterns. I miss all the old school action adventure games where I could just relax and unwind and maybe change the difficulty if it was too frustrating. Those games seem to few much rarer these days.
Monetization is the biggest problem in gaming. Game writers should do us gamers a solid and not forget that.
"Every Other Game Is A Soulslike These Days" (from the article)
From 2021 to 2024, there were over 9,000 games released and the writer posts a picture with 30 games...I don't see how this is a problem.
Ok. My above post agreed but hot damn I have to agree with this. It is atleast nice to see a change from fps games. There had been so many during the ps3 ps4 gen ughh
To provide an authentic martial arts experience for players, Where Winds Meet invited Stephen Tung Wai, one of the most well-known martial arts instructors in Asia, to design movements for WWM's weapon - Umbrella.
Why the dumb game comparison in the title? Just say it's a new trailer for a new game. This is like those books that can't but help to compare themselves to other works.
Let games stand for themselves, not out of the game compared to something else.
The game looks awesome,hope it comes to consoles.
I saw the trailer and i too can't help but draw GoT comparisons.
And as for the title, it's not uncommon to have the name of your newest project attached to similar looking games. In this case id say it would even help draw more attention towards Where Winds Meet. Who knows, might end up with even more famous than GoT.
Hope not! GOT is a good game but not as good as everyone says, for me it's overrated and repetitive this looks much better....
This has potential
