Where Winds Meet review
by Nekoy

This is a good game. It's free and enjoyable. It has good graphics. That said, it does come with some issues... 1. It's quite demanding - although I was running under recommended specs, I couldn't get stable framerate/frametime on battles, which made them just a bit harder (on Legend difficulty). And even then, that leads me to my 2nd point | 2. The game is quite easy - the bosses I've faced personally had really predictable patterns and were quite easy. Maybe I was overlevel for exploring a lot before doing main quests, but they didn't feel much of a challenge. It's not necessarily a bad thing. | 3. It's repetitive -  may be debatable, but at some point I found myself doing the same things all the time. | 4. The story - I enjoyed it, but it felt a bit messy in my opinion. Getting introduced to so many characters at once doesn't help either, and at some point it became a bit boring from having cutscenes being too long for no reason (there was a part of the game where there were blue-like deers and they would take 10 seconds to go from one place to another, and when done in succession it really bored me). I do recommend it for anyone to try. I personally got into it for the campaign and solo-play, but I'm sure there's more to do from the multiplayer/clan system (which I haven't touched myself). Another important thing to note is that I tried co-op and it was really, really messy and disappointing. I wish it was better and I wish we could play the same campaign missions together.

Where Winds Meet kept me glued to my screen for 25 straight hours — a bold F2P wuxia adventure that mixes epic single-player moments with full sandbox MMO freedom. The world feels alive, the combat hits like a proper martial-arts movie, and the sheer amount of things you can do is wild. I was seriously impressed by the freedom: wall-running, card-based healing, fair PvP, endless exploration, and visuals that look way too good for a free game. But yeah, I also raged hard at the maze-like UI, the tutorial that holds you hostage, and early bugs that break the flow. Once you push past that, though, it's huge, reactive, and ridiculously addictive — better than plenty of paid AAA titles. Compared to Ghost of Tsushima, it leans more into MMO features and customization, making it great for both solo grinding and co-op runs. And at 0€, there is no reason not to try it on PS5 or PC. Easy 8/10 — a wuxia legend taking off. Full review here: https://rogueh24.fr/test-du-jeu-where-winds-meet/
