Windlands takes a basic fantasy just about every little kid has - being spiderman/flying through the air - and absolutely delivers on it. The mechanics are simple, you can jump, shoot your grapple hook, lock the length of the cables, or give yourself more slack. At first you might even think the game is "clunky", but if you persist just a bit, soo you will realize the nuance of movement you can achieve with these simple mechanics is truly staggering. And the thing is, you WILL need to learn these mechanics to get a lot of the collectibles in the game as they can be tucked away in truly hard to reach places. Even the hardest collectibles are never frustrating to get to though because just interacting with the game's mechanics is a joy. The only real downsides are that there are a couple of small bugs I encountered. A couple of times my controller inputs got stuck, and the subtitles on the voiceover in certain parts of the game aren't timed properly, but overall those are minor quibbles for what is a great game. I'm absolutely looking forward to seeing what these devs have cooked up in windlands 2.
