Release Date: March 27, 2019
FPP action adventure fantasy game with an open world and many elements typical of the RPG genre. The production is also characterized by a colorful graphic design. The title was developed by Magic Sandbox studio, and its release is the responsibility of Headup Games.
Windscape is a first-person action adventure game with RPG elements, focusing on exploration and offering a lot of freedom and interesting graphics, which can be associated with such titles as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Firewatch. The title was developed by the independent studio Magic Sandbox, and published by Headup Games (known, among others, for the release of the well-received platform roguelike Dead Cells).
In Windscape we play as Ida, a young girl who lives on her parents' farm on one of the flying islands that make up the world. The girl discovers that something terrible has happened that could endanger everything by shattering the land into pieces. The heroine tries to discover, find and overcome the evil that threatens her home.
Windscape is a game that eludes simple genre classification, although it is closest to being an action or RPG adventure game. In the game, we observe the action from FPP. The mainstay of the game is exploration, collection of objects and interaction with NPCs, for whom we can work or perform various tasks.
The game also features combat. The challenges posed by the game are dealt with by an extensive system of crafting that enables us to create many useful items, such as food, weapons, shields, potions and spells.
In the game world, we can also find numerous unique and hand-crafted dungeons and caves, full of puzzles and extremely dangerous enemies, such as ghosts, ogres and dragons. Overcoming them often requires appropriate tactics.
Windscape can be played solo or with others. The mainstay of the game is the single-player campaign.
Windscape features interestingly designed, three-dimensional visuals. Despite them being 3D, both the character models and the game world look like they were pulled straight from a cartoon, and at the same time they are quite "angular" - the shapes from which they were made are clearly visible. The visuals are complemented by very expressive coloring, focusing mainly on strong, saturated shades. The game is characterized by a unique, charming atmosphere.

Game Ratings for Windscape Video Game.
GamingTrend: 45 / 100 by Bryan Lawver
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.
Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Dom Reseigh-Lincoln
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.
Pure Nintendo: 9 / 10
Windscape is a melding of old action/adventure gaming with new mechanics and storytelling in mind, allowing the player to explore the nearly open-world around them at their own pace.
