Games Like Windrose (2026)

Shared: Survival Crafting, Open World Exploration

Crash-land on an ocean planet, then spend dozens of hours too scared to go deeper, but going anyway. Subnautica is survival-crafting with genuine dread and beauty.

Shared: Open World Exploration

A parkour-heavy open-world survival RPG set in a crumbling city overrun by infected - ambitious in scope, uneven in execution.

Shared: Naval Combat

A sprawling 50-plus-hour action-RPG set during the Peloponnesian War that rewards patient explorers and build-chasers but will exhaust anyone allergic to Ubisoft padding.

Shared: Open World Exploration

If you want to strap C4 to a helicopter, tether it to a fuel tank, and watch both things detonate at once, Just Cause 3 is the only game doing that at this scale.

Shared: Co-op Focused

Mechanically the best the series has ever felt, held back by villains so irritating they make Claptrap seem understated. Worth it for the guns and co-op chaos; don't come for the story.
