Windward is a fun little game that I really can’t recommend. You command a sailing ship while you explore a waterway, trade between towns, and fight off the pirates controlling most of the land. If you play multiplayer, your friends can either join you or start a rival faction. While this is fun for an hour or two, there just isn’t enough to keep you going.
As far as I can tell, I’ve just described everything that happens in the game. Sadly, there are no sea monsters, no fleet building, no marvels. It’s a relaxing game, to a point, but the combat is boring and there’s really not much to pursue after upgrading your ship. Sadly, I must put it into Tier 3.
