This Is Not A Review: Windscape
Welcome to This Is Not A Review. In these
articles we discuss general impressions, ideas and thoughts on any given game,
but as the title implies, it’s not a review. Instead, it’s an exercise in
offering a quick recommendation (or dismissal) after spending enough time to
grasp the ideas and gameplay of a thing without necessarily playing it from A
to Z.
The subject of this installment: Windscape, developed by Magic Sandbox and published by Headup Games.
