    Windlands is easily the best platforming experience available on the PlayStation VR, and a must for anyone who wants to see what a Mirror’s Edge-style blend of platforming and parkour is like in that format.

    If you have a good VR stomach, this is one of the most interesting experiences on PlayStation VR. Between zen gaming and challenging parcours, this is an intense platformer that will make you feel like a hybrid of Peter Parker and Faith of Mirror’s Edge fame.

    Windlands' swinging and soaring facilitates a manic relationship between serenity and stress. It's either a holiday bounding across lush vistas or a white-knuckled, vertigo-inducing parkour utopia. Windlands isn't terribly inventive, however, its considerable accessibility options and presence inside virtual reality's honeymoon do well to suppress effective objections.

Other games are either fun or good demos, but this one is the only one I keep coming to again and again for more. The feeling of jumping with ropes between platforms is amazing and gives me a virtual breath of fresh air everytime. Having to look at platforms above you is an amazing neck workout like no other, and I know what I mean, having chronic neck pain, I feel amazing every time after this. There is a huge freedom to explore in this game, this and other aspects remind me a lot about my favorite franchise, Metroid. If you are a Metroid Fan, you have to try this game! It its the closest to a Metroid VR game as of today!

    UPDATE 25th May 2017 after playing Farpoint: Windlands is still much better than Farpoint in so many ways IMO. In Farpoint you move very slowly, at a constant pace, and you can't even jump! So frustrating, so very little locomotion. You also can't explore anything, the game is very linear. In windlands you can walk, run, jump, go everywhere, explore whatever you want, Windlands is still by far my favorite PSVR game, Farpoint did not change that.    … Full Review »

Unlike anything i've ever experienced, this title stands alone. Truly transportative and at times emotional. Hours of exploration (not including the minigames/challenges) with a sense of accomplishment at every turn. Windlands is exactly what i wanted from a VR experience.… Full Review »
