Windlands is still a satisfying ride in 2021, a colorful 3D platformer with easy-to-pick-up swinging mechanics and a brief (but sprawling) campaign that teaches you how to manage momentum to a surprising level of depth. It's also a pretty good way to get your VR sea legs, since over the course of my time with it I went from having to play in 20-minute segments (before I'd get too tense and borderline-nauseous) to spending over an hour in the game per session without difficulty.
