3/18/2023 0 Comments Windbound ps4 release date![]() ![]() It shares a bit of DNA, but Windbound is indeed a roguelike, procedurally generated narrative survival game. Yes, the promotional materials lean heavily into the aspects of Windbound that make it seem like a Zelda-like, but Windbound is a completely different thing. But I’m here today to testify, I’ve spent most of the last week running through Windbound (1.8 times, to be precise), and this ain’t Zelda. ![]() Reading comments on the internet, it looks like most gamers saw Windbound’s trailer and thought the exact same thing-that Windbound must be a Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild clone. I had to play this game as soon as possible. I saw the gorgeous cartoon-ish visuals, saw images of the main character sailing across the open ocean on a skiff, saw what looked like some ancient temples, and my body immediately dumped a truckload of Zelda-flavored dopamine into my brain. ![]() Somehow, while viewing the advance materials for Windbound, I completely missed the fact that the game is a procedurally generated roguelike survival game. I want a nice, hand-tailored game with levels carefully planned out by a human being a game that doesn’t require me to die every 10 minutes in order to progress. I need intentional design in my experiences. Combine those words with “survival gameplay” in a game’s description, and I would rather scrape the paint from my front porch with a toothbrush than play that game. The terms “roguelike,” and “procedurally generated” give me hives, almost guaranteeing that I will avoid games bearing them like the plague. There will be no additional multiplayer content.There are a few words that-when I encounter them in a game’s description-typically send me scurrying in the other direction. The big draw of the game revolves around players foraging their own path to survive and discover secrets all over the secret islands that Kara explores. Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 5200, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750, Radeon HD 7800.Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4600, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 630, Radeon HD 5670.Processor: 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo or equivalent.It should be reasonably straightforward and easy to handle for most players interested in playing the game on most computers using hardware released within the last five years or so. Steam lists out all of the system requirements for Windbound on its store page. You can expect to be repeating this process often to create more powerful items, taking down more fearsome creatures in Windbound. These items will be useful in other crafting and cooking recipes. After taking down the creature, Kara can interact with the deceased body to acquire additional resources, such as a bone, meat, and furs. For example, in the video, we see Kara crafting a grass sling and picking up small rocks to use as projectiles against a pack of razorbacks, and when one gets too close she has to rely on her trusty spear to fend it off. While exploring these islands, you will have to make new weapons to use the various resources you find. There will be smaller islands for players to find with a boat that can be made from different materials. You will learn new recipes to make weapons, craft food, discover ancient ruins, and sail around the island’s turbulent waters. Developer 5 Lives Studios released a 20-minute video of the game, breaking down different gameplay features and experiences players will have in Windbound. It’s quite comparable to Zelda: Breath of the Wild, where weapons are available all over the island, but many of them after extended use. ![]()
