Where Winds Meet Reviews

Great-looking F2P open-world action RPG rooted in the legacy of Wuxia
Where Winds Meet's epic journey to the East provides a solid free-to-play adventure well worth checking out. Those into fast and flashy action RPGs - complete with the combat to match - shouldn't hesitate to let the wind carry their legend.
Where Winds Meet has potential. We're starting to see RPGs in a Wuxia setting, and this is perhaps the most compelling one yet. The number of activities varies greatly, and the combat feels wonderful. The game's vastness means that there's loads of longevity, even if the experience can feel like a grind at times. The many systems at play can lead to a confusing experience, especially since the game does a poor job of teaching you the gameplay mechanics. The spotty presentation doesn't do the game any favors when coupled with the lack of translation in places. If you're willing to put up with all of these hindrances from the start, you'll find a game that does a good job of keeping you interested. Most people will be better served by waiting to see if the team can add some much-needed polish before jumping in.

Where Winds Meet is an amalgamation of so many systems, that should feel overwhelming, but don't. Instead, they all work cohesively to offer a unique Wuxia experience, and one of the best in the market.
While its narrative is far from perfect in terms of engagement, Where Winds Meet is an impressive and ambitious game that, for the most part, succeeds in fulfilling its promises.
Where Winds Meet is a fantastic RPG, for either players looking for a solid action combat game, with more grounded storytelling, or to more MMO-like players wanting a social experience. However, it is marred by technical implementation, weighing the game down quite dramatically.
Where Winds Meet is simultaneously one of the most impressive and ambitious games I've ever played, and it succeeds remarkably well at what it sets out to achieve - action-packed combat, exploration that never becomes a chore, and a story that ties it all together with heart. And that’s even without going into any MMO systems.
