Windscape is an action/adventure game set in a rural fantasy world where you’re the heroine. When we hear a game is “retro” in play and design, it’s

Windscape is an incredibly ambitious game and developer Dennis Witte deserves a lot of praise for pulling it off as well as he has. While there are certainly areas, such as combat, where things have been kept simple, the vast majority of Windscape represents a thrilling adventure that is simply oozing with charm.

Windscape has its rough edges, but the scope, ambition and heart of this one-man passion project help it to punch above its weight class. If you want a Zelda or Skyrim-style game that's great for relaxing after a long day, Windscape fits the bill nicely.

Quaint forests, medieval villages and a soothing melody draw you into a whimsical world forged by fantasy and dreams. But when a young girl sets out on a journey across the floating islands she calls home, she discovers a dark secret that is ripping her world apart at the seams...

Windscape isn’t an antidote to the everlong tropes of modern action-RPGs – simply because it still needs to rely on enough of them to tie its own systems together – but it does present a relaxed and engrossing alternative that’s designed to give players of any age or skill level the chance to explore, battle and craft at their own pace. The deepness of that crafting system belies its apparent simplicity, and with all manner of stories to uncover across its hand-crafted lands, you’re left with a first-person adventure that very much belongs on Switch.

Developed by Magic Sandbox, Windscape is a lovely first-person adventure with adorable quirks that offers quite a relaxing and enjoyable experience, but it isn’t without its peculiar design choices which force you to pause and question what is going on. Set in a dangerous land of flying islands, the game kicks off with you as Ida, the daughter of farmers, sets out into the world on a simple task for her father. Things quickly escalate as they often do in these situations and, while there is a logical progression to these events, the narrative to explain it is paper thin to the point of breakin...

Windscape may look like a decent lo-fi adventure at first, but it doesn’t have much to offer beyond its initial cartoony charm. With sleep-inducing combat and an absolutely skeletal crafting system, it just does nothing to keep your attention.

A game that has Zelda amongst its inspirations with screenshots that look like a cuter version of Skyrim seems as if it can't possibly lose. Luckily, I'm not a betting man as I would have lost a fair amount on this one.
