You meet new creatures, it feels like a whole orchestra starts up as each different instrument plays for each creature. On every island there are different types of animals or some you could call monsters, from the cute Bleenk who looks like a small purple bunny to the stealthy and dangerous Gloomharrow, each creature has its own unique looks and also its own sound, to explain, each creature in Windbound is prefaced by an instrument that starts to play along with the music that plays as you explore, so you will know what lurk around the next corner if you can recognize their instrument, now I love this because as the game music plays. It initially took me a few minutes to relax and enjoy the game as I was still constantly expecting the game to crash, but once I realized it was OK i was loving it, you wake up stranded and alone on a desert island as a woman named Kara, she was separated from her island-hopping tribe and is forced to survive, from the first island you can see the effort and passion that went into this game, the islands are each a different paradise, from the traditional sandy beach and palm trees to the deep wooded areas on others, each comes with its own beauty and danger. It was a test of my patience, in the first 2 hours of playtime the game outright crashed 5 times and glitched more times than I can count, I lost my entire inventory multiple times sending me back an hour each time, and sometimes losing items that only appear once in the entire game, but I really wanted to love this game so I held on, I waited, not patiently I admit but after another month of waiting the developers released an update to correct the problems. I’ll get the bad out of the way first, I looked forward to this game coming out months before it was released, it was a beautiful looking open-world sailing/survival game, with touches of inspiration from Zelda: Breath of the wild, but that was a good thing.īut when the game released and I downloaded and played it on my Switch, it was not the fun-filled adventure I had hoped for. Do this technique a few times and you shouldn’t have any problem taking down Gloomharrow.It was a rocky start, but now it’s nothing but open seas, that is how I would sum this game up if I had to in one sentence, but luckily for me, I have much more than one sentence to use, and Windbound deserves so much more than just that. If you dodge the attack, respond with an attack of your own and it will vanish again. When it reappears wait for the audio cue, a kind of growl, and the dodge. Stay within melee range if you’re using a Spear. If you are too far for a bit, it will launch a tongue attack. If you are in close range it will roar and then attempt to bite you. It will vanish after each hit and reappear nearby. However, a skill combatant can take it down in melee with a Bone Spear. A few well placed headshots with a bow from a distance is the best way to take down the Gloomharrow. It can be a tough fight if you’re not prepared. Just be sure to explore all of the islands you see, including those that don’t have the keys for objectives. They are quite common from Chapter 3 onwards so you will come across one or two during your travels. While it may be available previously, Chapter 3 onward is the only location we’ve found that is guaranteed to feature a Gloomharrow enemy.
