There are countless games out there that attempt to capture the feeling of being set loose on a vast, unknowable landscape. Games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and the surprisingly popular American Truck Simulator prove that, beyond memorable and engrossing visuals, thoughtful mechanics that may seem tedious on the surface can go a long way toward immersion in these sorts of virtual spaces, cementing the feeling of being in a real world with key limitations to consider. Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori seems to be taking notes from this style of game design.
