Where Winds Meet is an ambitious and impressive project with the potential to become a standout title in the coming years. It combines a stunning world, deep combat, nearly endless customization, and refreshing innovations in NPC interaction. While the game demands a significant investment of time and patience, it rewards players with a uniquely immersive experience and a rare opportunity to walk the path of legendary sword heroes from ancient China. In an industry of RPGs that often feel generic and try to please everyone, this game is a bold statement that a true role-playing experience is rooted in the freedom to shape your world as you see fit, treating its MMO aspects as a feature, not a genre.

An unexpected gem from the East that, contrary to its very nature, is full of content, heart and soul that we rarely see in Western games.

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.

One of the most interesting games of this year is free. You will enjoy it mainly in solo mode supplemented with online components. It will open up the rich world of Chinese martial arts for you.

Where Winds Meet is one messy and unapologetically dense online game. It tried to mix all the good and the bad of open-world games and staple features of live-service releases -- whether it actually works or not. But it's the first time a wuxia game, or even an MMO in general, has truly felt like a living, breathing world -- not just a theme park of instanced dungeons and fetch quests. Anyone hunting for their next timesink, whether solo or with friends, will find Where Winds Meet surprisingly easy to get hooked on.

Where Winds Meet is over-ambitious, messy, opaque, and inconsistent. It has too many gears that don’t mesh, a lot that’s poorly explained, and it refuses to give the player a moment of unproductive time, even at the cost of coherence and comprehensibility. For all that, Where Winds Meet is a lot of fun. It often looks incredible and the world is certainly filled with content, whether for a single player or in a group. Even without touching the cash shop, Where Winds Meet provides a huge amount of free game play. Right now, Where Winds Meet is a little shy of greatness, but with some technical improvements and time it could get there.

Where Winds Meet is a decidedly atypical free-to-play game, which, unlike many of its counterparts, has embraced a philosophy devoid of any pay-to-win mechanics. Not only does this system work, but it is also supported by a combat system and exploration that do their job well and are enjoyable, regardless of whether you decide to play alone or with other users. The only real flaw in this production remains the menus, whose complexity is excessive and could discourage many players who, without this kind of defect, could enjoy the wuxia adventure much more.

Where Winds Meet is a massive triumph, mixing genres and embracing the complex world of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It's a fun game filled with all sorts of interesting things to do, people to meet, and mini games to play. The world is massive and feels real and full, and the combat is varied, flowy, and fun. Unfortunately, it does have a lot of issues with bugs and translations. It is a gacha game, but basically only for cosmetics and a season pass.

Where Winds Meet is a surprising game in many ways, and if you manage to get through its unbearable first few hours, you may well find yourself drawn into its open world with its thousand promises. Completely free, once you get past the skin system, Everstone's title combines the combat of Sekiro with the exploration of Genshin Impact, incorporating MMO components that suit it perfectly. However, it's far from perfect: poor translation, the usual F2P retention mechanics, a lack of overall polish... The experience is good, certainly, but definitely not for everyone.
