Ignore old bad reviews
Windbound got a lot of bad reviews for problems that I believe were fixed in Sep 2020. You can still expect to die a few times in the early game, often from starvation, but in adventure mode you'll restart at the beginning of the current map with all your gear and your boat, or you can load a saved game. One gripe in the reviews was that gamepad controls are not remappable; that still holds. This is a survival game featuring sailing, fighting and crafting in a fantasy (magic included) tribal setting. Sailing is implemented better than I have seen in any other game apart from sailing simulators. It is relaxed because your makeshift keelless boat handles insanely well, being weatherly and fast. But it is a sailing vessel, no motorboat: you'll have to beat windward, reef when overpowered (reefing is super easy in the game), manage speed when landing (no brakes!) and weather out storms. Fighting and crafting are more mediocre. Not bad, but nothing to write home about. The campaign has five maps consisting of partly random islands. The overall structure is always the same: hidden among the islands are three towers with a switch on top that you have to activate, then head to the exit for a boss fight (except on the first map) followed by "the crossing", a high speed race to the next map. The details vary though; the maps generally get harder as you proceed, e.g., rough seas becoming more common, and there are more different towers that you'll find in a single playthrough, providing replay value. In the Sep 2020 update they also renamed "storyteller mode" to "adventure mode". Good move, as there isn't that much story. But you are here for the sailing, not for the writing, yes? In that case, grab this.
