Windward
Open-world pirate game Windward has emerged from early access and is now sailing the open waters of full release. The title, which we covered previously, allows players to captain a ship and upgrade it in the style of an MMO.
The world is procedurally generated, so players sailing across Windward’s oceans. Those that make it to the end game can even captain a blimp. (We know that isn’t a sea-faring vessel, but it’s a blimp. Blimps are cool.)
In addition to upgrading your ship, you’ll have access to three skill trees with a number of different talents to boost your buccaneering bravado. Once you’ve outfitted your vessel, you can take it out into open waters, fight enemies, live the pirate life, or simply explore.
Windward is available now for PC, Mac, and Linux for $14.99.
