    Passing By - A Tailwind Journey mixes flight and platforming in almost equal quantities. None of its mechanics have a ton of depth but the process of navigating, spotting islands, evaluating needs, and then exploring is engaging. The unique visual style and good soundtrack help immerse players in this world of floating islands. It would have been nice for the characters to have more dialogue, perhaps exploring the challenges of life among the clouds. Passing By - A Tailwind Journey successfully combines two different mechanics with a good central character and a unique world.
