General: Windward ? Sandbox Fun on the High Seas
The best way to describe Windward would be as a combination of Sid Meier’s Pirates! and a sort of sandbox MMO. You can play the game singleplayer or online with a bunch of other players and the game worlds are all procedurally generated at creation. I haven’t sunk a whole lot of time into the game just yet, but there are definitely a breadth of activities and gameplay styles to pursue on offer.

Black Desert Online: What Do You Dislike The Most?
“I hate it. Absolutely bloody hate it.” said my brother. He was talking about the fact that enemies in Black Desert Online reveal nothing about themselves until you’ve killed multiple.

Landmark: For the Price, It Provides a Fair Amount of Entertainment
Landmark started out as a game tied very closely to EverQuest Next. Unfortunately, EverQuest Next was canceled and now Landmark has launched as a standalone game. I don’t tend to often enjoy sandbox games too much and I’ve never really gotten into the whole “Minecraft” sorts of games, so for me Landmark was really different from the usual… and it is quite enjoyable though there are a few issues.
