Where Winds Meet seems to be having a pretty solid debut despite the mediocre Metacritic score. It's region locked too, on top of the game already having been out in China for a year now, so no one can say its only Chinese people playing the game. Most of the reactions on social media have been positive, wondering how a game with Dark Souls level difficulty and such an expansive map could be free. I hear the story's really good too, but I'll play it before making that judgment.

I have some friends who were a little depressed that it looked like we were going to end 2025 without a single Chinese gaming hit. I didn't care since I knew 2026 would have a ton of stuff coming, but it looks like we finally have one, yay!

It's free, with cosmetics and skins being their way of making a profit. It's one of the first of many new free Chinese games that are following this trend. Pretty sweet and non-predatory for new players. You get access to the full game story, mechanics, and any and all future expansions, and only spend if you're really into it.

Tried it last night and it's pretty solid. Players leave hints for new comers all over the map I've seen in at least 6 languages so it's pretty popular globally.
