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.

I went into this game thinking it be bad and was met with a masterpiece and a love letter to the Chinese Wuxia culture, it's filled with random side activities and while, yes, there is AI involved, it isn't used in a bad way, and sololy for a side thing where you chat in a text box with certain NPCs while trying to befriend them, not in any other game play (aside from the English voice acting maybe? It sounds AI to me but it could not be)

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 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.

A stunning ingame world filled with tons of entertaining tasks is clashing with too many systems that suffocate Where Winds Meet.

We can't help wondering if a narrowing of scope, instead of crowbarred-in construction mechanics or a baffling option to interact with NPCs that function like in-world AI chatbots, may have given this fiction real room to breathe. For now, there are too many winds blowing in different directions. [Issue#418, p.108]

Where Winds Meet impresses with a strong Wuxia atmosphere and a vast, vibrant world. At the same time, it feels overloaded: multiple in-game currencies, cluttered menus, and bugs slow down the flow. Still, somewhere beneath it all lies a satisfying free-to-play experience.

Where Winds Meet is a strikingly ambitious open-world wuxia adventure. Its vast landscapes are breathtaking, filled with life, history, and secrets that reward exploration. Combat is fluid and dynamic, blending martial arts flair with tactical depth. The animation of the wushu is great! The storytelling and atmosphere evoke a poetic, cinematic charm, making every journey across its ancient kingdoms feel immersive and unforgettable, even thought the story itself is a bit shallow in the end.

A pretty decent casual open-world RPG with MMORPG elements. It's very simple in every way — combat, exploration, and interaction. The only thing is, it takes some time to get used to the settings and interface. It's a bit overwhelming and confusing. This game is suitable for casual players and those who just want to relax in an open world.

I review A GAME, not the fact that it's free and the politic behind it !
There is a fantastic Wuxia atmosphere, the combat is fun... and that's about it. The rest is completely off.
- UX/UI: The UX is catastrophic; it's a total mess to navigate, to know what does what, it's almost like a game on its own (clearly designed for PC).
- Audio that turns on/off in the middle of a conversation with an NPC, a translation done by AI with all the mistakes that implies. - Graphically outdated.
- They take everything that is popular in live service games, shake it up a bit, and put it in the game.
And so on.

The Graphics are okayish (for a F2P game, although if you get close to objects the textures are low res). I just don't like the rest. Tons of currencies to be able to establish paywalls. Of course they want to make money. But Why should I put myself through that when I can play without paywalls (in paid games)? The story is weird, there's no real coop and no real mmo. It tries to be everything but fails. Also Toxic and hateful comments about wars in the chat. Gambling is existent too and there are way too many menues. Half the game you are in menues. Overall it's Not worth my time. There are tons of better games for little money. I rather continue playing Enshrouded.
PS.
I can't take the people serious who rate the game a 10 or 9. In reality It's definitely nowhere near a 10 or 9. But it's also not a 0 and 1 too. Just try it for yourself, you can have fun with that game or you just ignore it and you will not miss a thing.
