- Role-playing (RPG), Adventure, Indie, Action
Designed from the start to be a fully procedural co-op game, Windward can be played by yourself, but it truly comes alive when playing with friends. Start by generating a procedural world that will be unique to you, design your own custom faction then sail forward fighting pirates, trading with towns, doing quests or simply exploring -- it's up to you how you want to play.

WccftechJeff WilliamsMay 20158.6/10A very nice entry into the naval sandbox genre. Perhaps the only entry worth considering, and a great game in its own right. You can explore a vast world and do whatever you please to achieve your goals.

EurogamerDan WhiteheadMay 2015But Windward is neither of those things. After dozens of hours it still has you doing the same monotonous tasks you did at the very start, even as you claw your way to a slightly better ship in which to run your errands. For a game set on the deep blue sea, it's unforgivably shallow where it counts.

GameSpotDon SaasMay 20153/10Windward is less of a high seas adventure and more of a soporific cruise for the geriatric crowd.

The Outerhaven ProductionsClinton Bowman-ChristieMay 20162.5/5 starsI don't really play sandbox games, as I get bored easily by arbitrary goals that usually mean nothing to the game, but something about Windward raises my sails (pun completely intended.)
