Critic Reviews
AltChar - Dina Husejnagić - 95 / 100
Where Winds Meet is simultaneously one of the most impressive and ambitious games I've ever played, and it succeeds remarkably well at what it sets out to achieve - action-packed combat, exploration that never becomes a chore, and a story that ties it all together with heart. And that’s even without going into any MMO systems.
But Why Tho? - Abdul Saad - 8.5 / 10
While its narrative is far from perfect in terms of engagement, Where Winds Meet is an impressive and ambitious game that, for the most part, succeeds in fulfilling its promises.
COGconnected - Mark Steighner - 78 / 100
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.
Gamer Guides - Craig Robinson - 68 / 100
Where Winds Meet is a fantastic RPG, for either players looking for a solid action combat game, with more grounded storytelling, or to more MMO-like players wanting a social experience. However, it is marred by technical implementation, weighing the game down quite dramatically.
Gamers Heroes - Johnny Hurricane - 80 / 100
Where Winds Meet's epic journey to the East provides a solid free-to-play adventure well worth checking out. Those into fast and flashy action RPGs - complete with the combat to match - shouldn't hesitate to let the wind carry their legend.
IGN Spain - Rafa Del Río - Spanish - 6 / 10
Where Winds Meet offers an ambitious third-person adventure in which we will become heroes or heroines of the 10th century in China. An immense open world RPG, full of possibilities, that we can enjoy alone, with friends and with unknown players. Absolute freedom when it comes to acting, deciding and forging our legend allows us to personalize their martial arts, choose their path and move through their world running through the water, walking along walls or even flying like in a Chinese martial arts movie. Unfortunately, the gameplay is hampered by this ambition with mini-games that do not work well and a use of AI that seems to go beyond dialogues with NPCs
The Nerd Stash - Julio La Pine - 8 / 10
Where Winds Meet is an amalgamation of so many systems, that should feel overwhelming, but don't. Instead, they all work cohesively to offer a unique Wuxia experience, and one of the best in the market.
Worth Playing - Cody Medellin - 5.5 / 10
Where Winds Meet has potential. We're starting to see RPGs in a Wuxia setting, and this is perhaps the most compelling one yet. The number of activities varies greatly, and the combat feels wonderful. The game's vastness means that there's loads of longevity, even if the experience can feel like a grind at times. The many systems at play can lead to a confusing experience, especially since the game does a poor job of teaching you the gameplay mechanics. The spotty presentation doesn't do the game any favors when coupled with the lack of translation in places. If you're willing to put up with all of these hindrances from the start, you'll find a game that does a good job of keeping you interested. Most people will be better served by waiting to see if the team can add some much-needed polish before jumping in.
