Windward Horizon

If you liked the original Windward or any of the games in the general genre of open world sailing/trading/piracy than this game is a no-brainer. Obviously built with passion and love by the lead dev, does it have rough bits? Sure - but for being made mostly by a solo dev it is VERY good - reminds me of the labor of loves that Chris Sawyer made with Transport Tycoon and Roller Coaster Tycoon in that way. I've played exclusively solo and it's given me everything I would want from this type of game and then some. Bravo!

Feeling mixed and mixed rating about the game, might try to enjoy the combat to trading. felt easier to get into the first game or it's vibe. not so fan of the UI and harbors, or the starting game settings and starting experience. Also that the UI (dont remember in the first game), if this UI make things more overwhelming to use or see at first, and if starting fresh, things could be a little more limited while expanding out (or hidden and to discover) and maybe improve the content scaling. not sure about economy and features down the line, as some might be improved compared to the first game. could also be that I dislike the TPS camera instead of Overhead Camera/top-down camera view, to the more harsh textures compared to the more soft and old in windward 1. as in the first game felt more "friendly" and this game feels more "hostile" in some places. which kind of ruined my exploration vibe. also that it feels like "just another A to B" experience from the vibe, as it doesn't fully sell me the "want" to go out there. would be cool to see a small spin-off of this, with a more friendly or fun vibe, to setting up the terrain + buildings to look or feel a bit more "fun"?

Все ниже написанное относится к одиночному прохождению игры. Мне нравятся игры про корабли, исследования и истории. Эта одна из причин моих 74 часов в игре. Мне хотелось посмотреть все что в игре есть. Посмотрел. Истории и исследования закончились через 35 часов - все квесты кроме одного пройдены, все корабли кроме одного открыты, но не построены. Исследование карты было важным пока нужно было находить ресурсы. Дальше начался тупой и скучный гринд уровня колонии что бы построить корабль и гринд уровня корабля, что бы открылись "рейды" и последний квест. На это ушло еще 35 часов. Еще 4 часа ушло на изучение "рейдов" - тот же гринд, но с принудительной задержкой по времени. В итоге я посмотрел, что хотел, но пожалуй половину этого времени ушло зря. Перепроходить игру желание не возникнет.

мне не понравилось чтоб вы сдохли !!

v fun. am boat

Have been really enjoying this game, Loved the first one, and while it still is a better game in some ways, this is also pretty enjoyable. I was initially put off Horizons when it had a pubic test or demo sometime ago as the game felt sluggish(especially after just playing the first game), and had dialog you basically had to sit through, but it has come a long way since then and the game experience for me has been great! PvE, or PvPvE, the game blends age of sail naval combat into a fun relatively fast paced arcade arena style combat that is easy to get into and have a blast with! It's simple controls, but deep trade, and gear/item systems, story dialog for each faction, the game offers a little for story players, traders, and blood thirsty seadogs! The game even has the holy trinity system with a XP/Leveling system for points that can be spent on Tank, DPS, and Support abilities and buffs to complement your ship gear build. While not a perfect successor to the first game, it is an enjoyable title regardless. In my opinion worth the asking price if you enjoy arcade styled naval combat games, and a steal on sale. Playable Solo, Coop, or with PvP it has something for everyone!

Бессмысленная и очень скучная игрушка. Весь контент однообразный и быстро надоедает.
