I was skeptical: I feel like I&#8217;ve had my fill of games that kinda sorta look like Minecraft but aren&#8217;t actually Minecraft, y&#8217;know?<\/p>\n<p>But my skepticism evaporated roughly 35 seconds into the demo. I spawned on top of a small castle and picked up some sticks and planks that were lying around, which told me there was crafting. I descended a level and battled some skeletons, so hey, there&#8217;s monsters.<\/p>\n<p>I quickly found a forge, so there&#8217;s smithing, and a cauldron, so there&#8217;s cooking. Within a couple minutes I had a magic sword that did poison damage, some armor (wooden, but better than nothing), a shield I&#8217;d crafted myself, a couple of potions, a bowl of mushroom stew, and a key to unlock a chest full of loot. That&#8217;s a promising start.<\/p>\n<p>And outside the castle I found my first little airship, so there&#8217;s flying, too. Explore a world dotted with islands (both in the ocean and hovering high above it), battle monsters, gain skills, craft weapons and armor, and build a mobile base on a flying ship? Everwind is checking a heck of a lot of boxes for me.<\/p>\n<p>Combat is very Skyrim-ish, and yeah, I mean that in a good way\u2014there&#8217;s a lot of bashing and blocking, at least so far, though I haven&#8217;t experienced any magic staffs or spells yet\u2014and the skeletons remind me of a lot of Skyrim&#8217;s draugr. All the little forts and ruined castles and dungeons I&#8217;ve found give off big Elder Scrolls vibes, too.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery carousel-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\"

looks: you can dig up blocks like in Minecraft (though it typically takes quite a lot more effort) and build with them. If you come across something in the world you like, such as a piece of furniture, just whack it until it breaks and you can bring it back to your airship and place it where you want. I was quite charmed upon finding a small fort full of skeletons that were flying a skull flag and had a skeleton emblem on the wall\u2014nice to see they&#8217;re proud of their undead heritage\u2014so I took that stuff with me to decorate my own ship after I&#8217;d bashed them into bones.<\/p>\n<p>And there&#8217;s something about a huge world dotted with distant islands in all directions that just works for me. I assume it&#8217;s all procedurally generated, but I still feel this pressing urge to land at every single island and find out what&#8217;s there. It&#8217;s mostly been skeletons so far, but I also found pheasants, boars, and even the best animal ever: a capybara. (I killed the skeletons and ate the pheasants. I just admired the capy.)<\/p>\n<p>The <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/4028270\/Everwind_Demo\/\" target=\"_blank\">Everwind demo<\/a> isn&#8217;t a long one, but it&#8217;ll give you a couple hours of the early portion of the game and a sample of its first three biomes.
