Child of the Wind

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2[/h1] This game is positively rated. It's nice, charming, & challenging, but the positive reviews aren't realistic. Very few people have spent more than 2 hours in this game for a reason. In fact out of all the reviews, only 3 of them have spent more time in this game than me. It's also funny how the achievement for reaching all docks in level 1 is only held by 15% of players. The achievement for reaching all docks in level 2 is less than 3 percent. I almost got that achievement (I am stuck on the last level after about 30 minutes of trying and I almost got to the end after many attempts). So what's the problem? I think the difficulty spike in the second zone is way too high. Hell, it may even be too much in the first zone judging by the achievements. It also seems that the wind mechanic just isn't as consistent as the store video would have you believe. You move your motion controllers to fan the ship around. The problem is that it's hard to get a consistent gust of wind from them. Sometimes it was a lot softer or harder gust than I intended. Also, there is very little room for error in many spots. You learn through trial and error. There'…

Great concept, cute beautiful game. But too difficult.

Was a very interesting game and a good use of tracked controllers but as of 2025, no longer launches. SteamVR updates seem to have relegated some legacy VR titles to the scrap heap including this one.

I like the concept (hence why I bought it), but the experience wasn't positive. The game is unplayable on my computer (probably it's not well optimised). The lower half of the screen had black (semi transparant) artifacts and the game lagged. The lagging combined with the game being unforgiving for any mistake, makes it impossible to enjoy and sail far. If your computer is beefier (GTX 1070, but no problem with almost all other VR titles), it might be worth trying. (was doubting if a negative review would be fair, but all the others being only positive didn't seem correct either, as the review of FastLawyer clarifies)

Thank you Freetale for developing this awesome game! I love the paintings on the wall and the concept of controlling wind is nice.

I don't get the point of that game. I mean it feels like a phone game. Or maybe it is just a student project game where they learn how to code in VR ?
