Soooo much potential, but...
...too repetitive. It's still a good game with an interesting premise and interesting ship building mechanic. Grab it cheap, enjoy it.

A great game for cheese
I seldom review, but seeing mostly negative reviews, I feel the need to add my own, more positive, take on it. I like are the beautiful graphics , the exploration and the thrill of discovery when you discover a tiny island and wonder what it will hold, and the cheese. By cheese, I mean using the overpowered Sea Witch's Staff of Cleansing to attack when standing on rocks. The staff generates three pink orbs. Like short range magic missiles, they attack the creature closest to you, and never miss. Creatures cannot get on top of rocks, so you are safe and can use ranged attacks. Creatures will usually move around though, so rocks and arrows are likely to miss. Not the staff's orbs. Without it, combat in this game is hard. Any attacks against you is brutal. The game expects you to dodge and parry to avoid getting hit. You can cheese fighting creatures with the staff from safety, but not the boss fights. Those are in an arena with no safe spots. To win boss fights, you need to learn to dodge attacks at the right moment. The Night Stalker Cowl helps you there: it is one of the items found with a treasure map, and makes dodging faster and cost less stamina. Make sure you have it and the staff before fighting the level 3 boss. Dodge works against almost every attack, except area of effect attacks. So dodging wins you most fights. Only one boss (the chapter 3 one) has an area of effect attack, but he seems to only use it if you are far away. So stay close, wait for his attack animation to start, then dodge and counter attack. If you use the witch's staff, wait to attack him until you have all three orbs. Because the orbs are more powerful the more you have of them. If you are trying to get Witch's staff from pumpkins and the Beast Stalker hood from treasure maps, but get other items instead, just have some animals kill you and restart. That will respawn the world, with new pumpkins and treasure maps for you discover. You retain any boons you've already found!

BEWARE THE CORAL!
Windbound does some interesting things. I dig the sailing, but it seriously gets in its own way in an attempt to be "realistic", I guess? There's times you can't get to the next island you definitely need to get to because the wind is blowing *hard* the opposite direction. This mechanic factors heavily in why I rage quit and uninstalled Windbound. That, and the coral. I'd gotten to the second chapter. Still had the boat I'd upgraded during the first chapter. After struggling with the wind to loop around the island I'd just left in order to get enough momentum to head to the next island, I *grazed* a chunk of coral, and the boat kept taking damage after I got clear of the coral-- which I did *immediately*. It popped, and I landed in the middle of the ocean with none of the resources I put into the boat or had stored on the boat. All Coral is One Coral. The One Coral is here to destroy you. Beware the Coral!

Major flaws in game design
Now that the developper finally pushed an update to prevent the game from crashing, I was finally able to complete the the game. There's things this game is doing fine: it's beautiful, artsy, it plays smoothly, the sailing is very good. However, it is impossible to overlook the way the game is poorly designed, as if concepts were randomly laid out and stiched together to produce something around an engaging shell. For example, the choice of the designer to go for rogue-lite elements like permadeath. This works when you can achieve runs in around one or two hours at most, eventually allowing the player to skip levels as it progresses throught the game. A run in Windbound can last several hours or more, depending on what you want to achieve. Under these circumstances, making the player lose everything it crafted or collected is unbearable. Again, combat against bigger foes becomes heavily punishing and way too risky for the reward. As it stands, the developper needs to engage in a deep redesign of the game fundamentals before it can be deemed recommendable.

Controls are a killer
Although I love the concept of open world gaming, this game got me lose my patience within a few hours. The graphics are more than OK. They gave me slightly that BOTW feeling what I love in this kind of openworld games. The possibility to create items, loot corpses and other things in the environment is great and gives the hoarder in me a satisfying feeling. The major issue with this game is the fact that the controls are a massive pain in the rear. There is no way to remap those, and as a lefthanded gamer, I dislike the fact Iḿ forced to use the classic AWSD for movement, and the way you move in the game doesn´t feel very natural. Another reason to quit this game early is the fact you constantly need to look for food to regain stamina. Gaining enough food to stock up isn´t as easy as I hoped on the lower difficulty level of this game. Eventually these two things got me to quit the game early after a couple of hours. Bummer, as the concept of the game was quite promising.
