Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
110 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The act of building ships, fighting pirates, hunting whales, and exploring floating islands is just so addictive I couldn't put this game down for a long time.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The storyline is pretty original and exiting, but its very linear at the moment, there is very little background story and all the npc's just say the same 10 ish flavor text over and over again.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-Lots of different armor, items, block and resource types, recipes to craft things, and weapons.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are pretty good as well, since it's a nice mixture of Terraria with more details and a 2,5D perspective with a steampunk stamp all over it, although it feels a bit repetitive after a while.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This, coupled with a solid crafting system that never sees older materials being upper-classes by newer ones (Early-game Iron is often a component for more resilient later-game alloys as an example), the enjoyable combat and movement, with the added aesthetics of stunning visuals and an amazing soundtrack makes Windforge the sort of game you can easily sink tens or hundreds of hours into.
