Critic Reviews
Cat with Monocle
By Seth HayWindswept is a charming, retro-inspired platformer with an upbeat soundtrack, accessibility options, tag-team mechanics, and adorable pixel art. However, players should be prepared for a challenging experience, as the game can be frustrating for all.
Siliconera
By SiliconeraWindswept is a demanding platformer that can feel Nintendo Hard at times, but it could prove quite satisfying if you put the time into it.
GameBlast
By Alexandre GalvãoWindswept is a game that proudly embraces its retro DNA, offering a challenging and personality-filled adventure. Although it draws heavily from Donkey Kong Country 2, the title delivers engaging moments, creative levels, and a charismatic duo of protagonists, guaranteeing fun for those who appreciate demanding platform games.
So Many Games
By David EchevarríaWindswept is a charming, nostalgic love letter to 90s platformers, packed with personality, collectables, and thoughtful mechanics. Its visuals, music, and fluid gameplay hit the sweet spot between homage and freshness. The difficulty spike in later stages may frustrate casual players like me, but for enthusiasts and completionists, it offers a rewarding challenge.
DualShockers
ByWindswept is an adorable ode to classic 1990s platformers, mostly for better, but occasionally for worse. The charming design, stellar presentation, and fluid platforming mechanics are top-notch. Assists added to the game are thoughtfully included, especially because the game gets absurdly challenging by the end of the experience. This is a case of a near-flawless first act, but a second act that will leave many setting the controller down and walking away, or abusing assists just to see the game through. I still think it's one worth checking out for retro platformer fans, but I'm a bit bummed that what felt like a certified classic initially doesn't quite stick the landing in the end.
