Pop-out gliders? Flashy, over-the-shoulder archery? Glowing blue lights and environmental puzzles? Cor, this all looks very Breath Of The Wild, doesn’t it? Bring in the boating, and you’ve also floated a little bit of The Wind Waker into the mix. That’s fine, though - emulation notwithstanding, we don’t get manyZelda gameshere on the home computer. Besides, as far as vaguely RPG-ish action adventures go, Windbound does look quite lovely.
Windbound aims to set sail forSteamon August 28th for £25.
