Windrose

Aber absolut! Es ist ein mega Statement für die Linux-Gaming-Community, wenn so ein brandneuer, hardwarehungriger Early-Access-Titel dank hervorragender Proton-Kompatibilität out-of-the-box absolut fehler- und absturzfrei läuft. Ich habe dein Linux-Setup direkt am Ende der Review unter einer eigenen Sektion „Linux Performance Note“ eingebaut. Das hilft anderen Linux-Zockern auf Steam extrem weiter! Hier ist die aktualisierte Version: --- ## 🏴‍☠️ Steam Review: Windrose **RECOMMENDED** 👍 *Playtime at review: ~30 hours* > **"An absolute gem of an Early Access game – runs like a dream and hooks you for hours!"** I’ve just clocked in about 30 hours of playtime, including a massive, uninterrupted marathon session, and I am absolutely blown away by how polished this game already is. For an Early Access title, the stability is incredible—I haven't experienced a single crash, bug, or performance hitch. ### Why you should grab this game: * **Incredible Combat & Build Variety:** I am currently running a "Plague Juggernaut" build using a heavy Halberd and a Plague Pistol. Landing those heavy attacks feels incredibly weighty, satisfying, and impactful. The build progression and stat system are deep and rewarding. * **Awesome Co-op Experience:** Playing this with friends is where the game truly shines. Building a beefy tank to stand in the frontline, holding aggro, and sustaining yourself through plague-leeching attacks while your friends back you up is pure gold. * **Solid Base Building & Progression:** The gameplay loop of establishing a coastal base, setting up production, upgrading your wharf, and crafting a proper ship to explore new islands is extremely satisfying and well-paced. * **Flawless Optimization:** Even during long sessions with tons of action on screen, the performance remains buttery smooth and stable. --- ### 🐧 Linux & Hardware Performance Note: I am playing this game on **CachyOS Linux (KDE Plasma, Wayland)** with an **AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D** and a **Radeon RX 9070 (16GB)**. To say it runs flawlessly is an understatement. If you are on Linux, use these launch options for an absolutely locked frame rate and zero input lag: `PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 ENABLE_LAYER_MESA_ANTI_LAG=1 mangohud game-performance %command%` Proton compatibility is a 10/10 here. No tweaks needed to make it work, just pure pirate action from second one. --- ### The Verdict: If you love survival, action-combat, and sailing with friends, do not let the "Early Access" tag scare you off. *Windrose* is already in a fantastic state, highly polished, and incredibly fun. **10/10 — Highly recommended!**

Just enough pull to get you past the 2 hour mark before you realize, the combat always stays bad, to get a ship you need a crew, you'll need to rescue a bunch of prisoners that are in camps no where to be found, because 99% of them have empty cells. By the time you see the likable parts of the game wont progress you at all. The combat is so bad that you can just cheat instead, build a stone wall, and basically nerf the AI... BY the time you realize its either clunky combat or cheat you played long enough you aint getting no r e f u n d.

After 60 hours of play. The game refuses to load. Can't exit the application. And end up having to restart the PC. Great immersion. Unplayable.

FUN

Don't play it, it is addictive and you will loose track of time.

Das erste Piratenspiel das mir Spass macht. Looten, leveln, bauen, kämpfen - fühlt sich alles an wie aus einem Guß. Habe wochenlang nichts anderes gespielt. Je mehr Leute man dabei hat, desto besser wird es. Seefahrten und Seekämpfe fühlen sich authentisch an und man hat immer was zu tun. Tolle Grafik, toller Stil, läuft butterweich.

As an experienced sailor, this game is great in a bunch of ways which I will get to in a second, but first let me get my one gripe out of the way... It's a pirate game, so sailing is a big part of it, but there's no *sailing* mechanic. There's boats, but they're just cars on water. You don't need wind, just point, shoot, turn, shoot somewhere else. I hope it's coming in an update. It would make it much more complex but difficulty settings could adjust how complex it needs to be - you could keep the 'boats on water' settings for easy. It would add so much more depth so you can't just point and shoot where you want, you need to think about wind, but you can also get upwind of your enemy so you have control over the engagement. With that said, it's not a sailing sim, and the number of enemies means you're not thinking too much about that while fighting. There's a lot going on firing broadsides at enemies on both sides usually, so maybe adding sailing mechanics would be too much. Outside of that - the boats look great and the sails flap around realistically (if you ignore the wind). The ocean heaves, you cut through smaller waves and climb over big rollers. I've never played a game that *felt* so much like ocean sailing... again if you ignore the wind. Day/night mechanics, sunset and sunrise visuals, and weather are all very well done, very beautiful and immersive. Masts silhouetted against a cloudy sunset, all of that sort of thing. Also, please please please press B while sailing, and have the crew sing sea shanties recorded with a choir of amazing sounding baritones. It's just *chef's kiss*. When you're not sailing it's like Conan Exiles with more of a nautical thing... and less nudity lol. More swashbuckling, less swinging d___s. Combat is kind of simple but kind of challenging, even frustrating - you do have to master certain patterns, and the same pattern doesn't work for all enemies or all weapons. There's also a parry mechanic I haven't figured out yet. There's good content so far, I'm 24 hours in just in the starting area figuring things out and having a good time. I read somewhere else there's an estimated 80h of content so far and that seems about right - more if you just like sailing and firing cannons at things.

На 70 часу игра перестала загружаться, бесконечная загрузка при входе. Спасибо за бета тест как говорится за мой счет.
