Where Winds Meet reviewed by Jarrett Green on PC, also available on PS5.
Perhaps there’s a version of Where Winds Meet that isn’t throttled by the storm of its own lofty aspirations. It has a great understanding of what makes wuxia such a compelling subgenre of fantasy fiction, bleeding into the vibrancy of it’s characters and the flair of its combat. But it becomes clear pretty quickly that the attempt to shove as many kinds of experiences into one game – open world adventure, action-heavy MMO, musical rhythm game, card battler, etc. – only ensures that none of these elements reach their full potential. Instead, Where Winds Meet is an amusement park where every ride is being run at half speed, and the sugary treats at the concession stands come with piles of paperwork to complete before you can chow down.
