What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Windbound receives mixed feedback from players, with appreciation for its technical performance and quality, but significant frustration with its combat mechanics, particularly stun-locking and dynamic mouse sensitivity issues that players find frustrating and unfair. The game also has notable stability concerns, with reports of progress loss and bugs that detract from the experience. Players suggest waiting for a sale rather than purchasing at full price.

Glitchy. I've lost my progress twice now. Over 65 hours lost. But I was able to finally get it back.

yo ♥♥♥♥ all those reviews about janky combat and empty islands. summary: If you've ever owned a wireless mouse that goes to sleep and when it wakes up you're reset to the default 800 dpi instead of your (in my case) 3200 dpi for half a second, THIS GAME HAS THAT. THIS GAME HAS DYNAMIC MOUSE SENSITIVITY. When you start moving your mouse, it's like a cinematic mode at first, only after you move your mouse for 0.5 seconds does it return to your og sens, until you slow down your mouse then you have to re-experience the slow-mo sens. Why do I need to put in effort like I'm sailing a pirate ship into a MAELSTROM to turn every two seconds.

windbound? more like StunBound. I will never understand devs implusive need to add stun locking macanics in every single game that effects the player. seriously quit being lazy just make them hard because they learn adapt or has a skill thats tricky to learn but once you do you can master it. instead of crap like this its freaking annoying to do the equivalent of rolling a dice too see if you win this fight or not, its just so borring. combat in games truely isnt hard, you dont need to rag doll just because G-mod did it way back when and now everyone is coppy their homework, wanna know why it worked in that game and doesnt here? because in G-mod/half life. it wasnt ever used as a form of stun, it was used as death animations, it was used because it was cool for the time, and different for the time. cant say this game does anything new. no joke i could go play wind waker release alllllllllllll the way back on the game cude and its an objectively better game as it has more content a better story, and the combat is actualy good. oh and hey I can pick up a coppy of wind waker for 5 bucks at my local game store. so i mean. your beat by a 18 year old game thats being sold at a 1/…

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
