If you don't go for 100%, it's a nice and fun platformer - even if it's still a difficult one. 100% must be brutal (I haven't even tried, as I'm not that good). It's kinda of like Crash Bandicoot 4 - play it normally without caring of collecting everything and you'll get a mostly nice time with a handful of stressful sections; play it with intention of doing 100%... oh poor you!

Great game (Even though people have been giving it bad reviews for completely unrelated reasons). I just bought it and have a lot of fun with my friend!

Awesome game. Does a decent job at living up to the Donkey Kong Country games. In fact as someone who has played them all, this one is honestly the hardest. I experienced some technical problems a few times but they did subside and the game is too good for me to care anymore now that I got to play it. More people need to play Windswept!

This is a really cool DCK-Style 2D-Platformer. Had so much fun finishing it. After you see the credits the game is far from over, which is also really nice.

As not to bury the lead too much, I'll start with the most important thing before going into the review proper: Windswept absolutely nails its level design. You don't see platformers popping up so much, partly because they were done to death several decades ago, but also because designing levels in them is actually kind of difficult when compared to similar gametypes - Metroidvanias for instance can get away with lots of lacklustre level design as long as the combat is fun and you just shove a bunch of weird enemies into an otherwise empty hallway, but the pure platformer vibes of Windswept make that an impossibility. It is more-or-less ripping off the entire Donkey Kong Country franchise, and with DKC2 being one of my favourite games of all time (and perhaps the best platformer on the SNES) it was fighting an uphill battle to win my affections, yet it did so all the same. The charm of a non-distinct duck and turtle duo with adorable sound effects is not enough to melt my monster heart despite how genuinely cute the game can manage to be, and barrel mazes within bramble thickets dodging bees and blue dragonflies may tug upon my nostalgia strings, it isn't enough for me to recommend the game, no matter how good it looks wearing the skin of a 30 year old franchise. The music is fine, but only has a couple of standout tracks, the graphics are perfectly serviceable, and the boss fights are... certainly present in the game; Things that would usually get me sneering. Still, these really are the only problems I can truly get hissy about, because playing the game is an absolute blast all round. It has this rule that runs consistent through pretty much the entire game where - as long as you haven't jumped yet - you can perform any grounded action regardless of whether or not you're on the ground. DKC had a similar thing where you could cartwheel off a ledge and then jump out of the pit you're heading down, but it was a really niche mechanic with few practical uses. Windswept gives it a ton of use even in its earlier stages, before the challenging later levels rock up and it becomes the star of the show, and this combined with the greater depth of the two characters' movesets makes for a challenging experience that never really gets stale. When taking into consideration all of the collectibles, the secret areas and bonus stages, and the potential for coinless/pacifist runs, every level becomes this unique, multi-faceted puzzle that gives you only the barest indication of the simplest way to play it, before letting you loose with a flying turtle to figure it out for yourself: I love games that have enough confidence in their level design to allow that freedom. The difficulty curve is fine, even for someone like me who prefers their games on the harder side. It's not like Windswept is slouching in its post-game secret levels, where it starts flinging sawblades everywhere and making you switch character mid-air multiple times. The final EX stage in particular is an absolute beast and I highly recommend going through the effort to get there. I think part of why it all works so well is through use of the same old design ethos of those earlier 90s platformers, where each stage is themed around one particular gimmick: be it an enemy, hazard, or means of traversal, and then the entire rest of the level is built around all the unique ways that the gimmick can be used before moving onto the next. It only brings it back later piecemeal, and combines it with other gimmicks to make uniquely challenging sequences. By following a tried and true formula, WeatherFell has both reached and exceeded the games it lovingly apes (pun) and all of you should buy it immediately. If you love 90s platformers, you'll most likely enjoy this. If you've never played one, then this is as good a start as any - It's unlikely to ever feel dated regardless of the decade. If it doesn't hit you immediately and you don't get it the first time around, I'd say it's worth trying again. There's gold in here.
