Wind Peaks (2020)

Wind Peaks is a decent first game from Actoon Studio and a nice addition in the hidden object genre. The charming visuals impress in the beginning but become a bit repetitive, luckily the story holds up and remains fun to follow.

In addition to Steam and Switch releases, Wind Peaks is able to flourish and reach more people on PlayStation and Xbox now. Actoon Studio has a bonafide hit here. I look forward to what they come up with next. It reminds me of staying up late trying to finish my “Where’s Waldo?” books until I found every secret it had contain within. The marriage of hidden object and puzzle concepts are confident and strong in Wind Peaks.

An unequivocal escapade that seeks to trigger a flurry of emotions hidden within the simplest of settings. An enriching title that oozes an enchanting grace, in a sedative ambiance encompassed by lush locales and an adorning aura. A magnificent bedrock for Actoon Studio.

Recently I’ve been fighting deranged cults, battling inter-dimensional monstrosities, and building ever more convoluted constructions to evade or defeat hordes of the undead. With all this non-stop stress and dread, it’s nice to take a break sometimes.

Hidden object games rarely feel like an adventure yet Wind Peaks crafts its campaign well with plenty of silly and memorable scenarios.
