Windbound feels like a hidden gem among indie titles. Aside from a few combat quirks, the game has such a pleasant vibe

You guys should play Windbound. It's a survival game where you have to build your Moana-style boat and sail from island to island with your magic paddle fighting progressively harder monsters and upgrading your boat/gear. All led by your ancestors and wall-carvings of their exploits. It's beautiful.

Been playing Windbound and there's things I enjoy about it but otherwise it's meh so think I'm ready to move on. Definitely think I'm feeling a crafting game but want it low energy/brain power since I'm still recovering from covid & nothing comes to mind

The only open world games post botw that I love: Sable (it's a game about choosing what to do with your life so an open world where you are left to self direct is great) Windbound (it's a sailing game, the fun is in building a ship and sailing the ocean)

This is almost exactly what they did in the game Windbound and I loved it.

The second game is #Windbound, which feels like a grown up progression from Wavetale in that it will take longer, the world is potentially bigger, lonelier and more dangerous, you build all tools, your boat & hunt but it appears to also be a healing story and you learn to navigate sailing/waves/wind

liking my own post cause i wanna talk about more games-- 2. Windbound - A neat rouge-like sailing adventure. As a sucker survival crafting and neat sailing, love this game. Its not necessarily long to beat, but I had a blast with it and dont know why I never see others talk about it.
