The game in question is Where Winds Meet, a new Wuxia open-world action-adventure RPG. In this new free-to-play title, players step into the role of a young sword master at the start of an epic quest to uncover the secrets of their identity. The game does have multiplayer elements to it, but at its core, it’s got a story-rich action RPG feel perfect for playing solo. And it’s clearly caught the attention of Steam gamers, as the game just released midday on November 14th and has already jumped to the #7 spot for the most-played Steam games in the past 24 hours.
Where Winds Meet Hits Mostly Positive on Steam, With Comps to Ghost of Tsushima and Assassin’s Creed
When a new free game hits Steam, many players are going to check it out just out of sheer curiosity. After all, for the price of $0, there’s not a ton at stake. But in the case of Where Winds Meet, early signs point to potential staying power where many other games drop off pretty quickly. Since it released, the game has stayed at a pretty consistent player count between 100K to 150K. That suggests that players aren’t dipping out right after trying the game, but sticking around to explore what the open world of Where Winds Meet has to offer.
And so far, it seems like many players are liking what they see. Where Winds Meet has over 2,000 Steam reviews already, and it’s sitting at Mostly Positive. Given the tendency for free games to get absolutely skewered with negative reviews on Steam, that’s pretty impressive. So, what exactly is this new open-world RPG, and should you play it?
Where Winds Meet is a video game take on the Wuxia genre, a Chinese literary tradition steeped in martial arts, often set in a fantasy setting. In the case of this new game, that means stepping into ancient China and becoming a sword master, traveling across the lands to partake in epic battles and create your legacy. In early reviews, many gamers are saying it feels a lot like Ghost of Tsushima or a “modern Assassin’s Creed game, but wuxia themed.”
