Where Winds Meet

Where Winds Meet is goofier than other open world games, often winningly so.

8.5 / 10

Where Winds Meet delivers an exceptional open-world experience, successfully blending an engaging story, meaningful activities, a solid combat system paired with competent character progression, a wealth of multiplayer options, and one of the most lively cities in the genre. Though some of its features and mechanics suffer from the constraints of the free-to-play model, the good undeniably outweighs the bad, making it a rare title that can captivate even players who typically avoid similar open-world games, easily providing hundreds of hours of content even in its launch state.

9 / 10

For a free-to-play game, Where Winds Meet is a stunning experience. Its monetization systems are well balanced, and in my playthrough I never felt the need to spend any real money. There's a lot of content and plenty of top-tier stuff to chase, making the overall package feel like tremendous value.
