Sail away
I saw an image of Wind Waker earlier today, and that game does not age. Link never sailed onto PC however, so that leaves us withWindbound, a survival adventure about sailing between islands. It’s currently free to keep from the Epic Games Store.
Windbound wasn’t beloved when it released last year, owing mostly to a rough combat system. It remains an aesthetically gorgeous game, and a compelling mix of Wind Waker’s sailing and Breath Of The Wild’s scavenging, cooking and paragliding. As you explore its islands, you’re able to gather materials to upgrade your boat and sail through more difficult seas to yet more islands.
It’s worth a shot at the price.Grab it from Epicany time before February 17th at 4pm and it’s yours to keep forever.
After Windbound, Epic’s next freebie will beBrothers: A Tale Of Two Sons, Starbreeze’s adventure in which you control two characters simultaneously. It’sexcellent, and a precursor to director Josef Fares’s more recent games likeIt Takes Two. Brothers is, to be clear, not co-op - or if it is, it’s co-op you play alone.
