100 hours on the original which was my "go to" game to relax, and bought on release 10 years ago. Only discovered this recently and with a handful of hours down, ~2m in coin, full vault, and mythic ship fitouts, the largest population is 8, which means 3 ships in, I still can't get next at 10 then 12 etc. 80% of the ships aren't unlocked and don't look like ever doing so, given how slow the population grows (often spend hours on one province doing all quests, trading etc...to nought. They just don't grow. As a game, fun for some brainless time-out to relax spanking Pirates. But as one to progress, develop, upgrade, see provinces grow etc, there's no fun...takes far too long and that means boredom sets in. Great game but now getting boring fast after only 25 hours.
Game is designed for co-op, however doesn't have the players for that to work super well. The game is balanced with the idea people will form a fleet of ships to complete endgame content. Without the player base it acts as a lock on what you can do and what you can attempt but can't complete. It has limited settings for difficulty for players and solo mission get boring quick, I would steer clear unless you have friends that you can play with. Not a super solo friendly in the endgame. Dev has voiced that they will not balance or rebalance the game even with low player counts, so only get if you accept the current balance. However I do find the game fun and recommend if you are willing to face the challenges above
If you're unsure - play the free demo first, it's still available in Steam at the time of this review. As a fan of original Windward, I enjoy Windward Horizons as well. It's a very calming game (most of the time) and I can even play it windowed while working on other tasks. The game offers many different routes for gameplay, in the sense that you can focus on trade, fighting, or exploring, and each is still a viable way of completing the game and getting at least all the public achievements. Many things in the game are customizable and there are multiple items to adjust for difficulty, and some that can change the gameplay rather significant such as adjusting the level of piracy that can occur. You do not have to play mini games if you don't like them. Like all games nowadays, there's a fishing mini game, and a similar treasure diving mini game, different from the actual treasure hunt quests. There are some quests that may ask that you do them, but it's not that critical to do all the quests. You can still level up with the other quests and other gameplay options. Some aspects of the game are confusing initially such as the new the economy system for the game, but there are many guides already created on Steam to help explain it, and it's a fun challenge in my opinion. If this is the only piece that makes the game intolerable, I'd recommend original Windward instead.
I've enjoyed this game a lot after 50+ hours of solo play. The end game feel lacking and the combat feels unbalanced. I wish there was an option to fight amongst the factions and it would be nice if the crafting and trading where explained a little better. Otherwise its an excellent sequel to Windward.
