![]() These puzzles will surely feel familiar to fans of third-person action games, but they felt like a calm reprieve from all the aerobatic stunts. Now, I am aware none of what I am saying is new when it comes to puzzle design. ![]() There are more of these puzzles than tokens needed so you are always welcomed to move onto another puzzle if one is giving you trouble. You will frequently find yourself shooting through fires to light other torches, shooting arrows through rings, using your eagle to lift weights and place them on switches, and using mirrors to bank shots around 90-degree angles. Just a small choice, I would have gone with.Īs you wander through the endless ruins, you will often find the tokens needed to activate the towers locked behind ancient devices creating an almost Tomb Raider-like puzzle. ![]() These lands have been ravaged by the now feral deities, but you can still capture that same feeling with villagers who are frightened or gone mad. There is some wildlife roaming around, but you can’t interact with them, making the world feel rather empty. My one complaint about the open-world nature is even though the zones are uniquely designed, it would have been nice to see some more life within them. Now, my eyes would be rolling around in my skull at the thought of combining another open-world from the likes of Ubisoft, but with being able to speed through the zones with some well placed shots, I felt like I was playing Spider-Man rather than something like Assassin’s Creed. To activate these towers you must search for tokens scattered across the land. You are tasked with navigating these zones to find three towers that you must activate to weaken the corrupted deities. You must traverse sweeping valleys and towering mountains encasing these zones as a peaceful soundtrack joins you on your journey. The balletic movement system is pivotal to The Pathless as the Eagle Mother’s children inhabit huge biomes that you must navigate. This movement system allows for so much aerobatic creativity and expression, that I cannot wait for this game to get into the hands of speedrunners. You can also call upon your eagle buddy to help you glide through the air like a parasail. Shooting a talisman while jumping in the air will also cause the Hunter to perform this acrobatic leap through the air, allowing you to chain together multiple shots to keep you airborne. You will soon begin to continuously shoot talismans as you’re sliding along the ground causing you to gain speed and momentum. Shooting at a talisman while sprinting will cause the Hunter to gracefully slide along the ground. Shooting the talisman fills up your stamina meter, which allows you to sprint. As you arrive on the mysterious island, we will see some talismans floating on the island. As many of my loyal followers know if you give me the ability to dash, flip, or soar around your world, I will be drawn to your game like a moth to a flame. What initially drew me to The Pathless was the movement system highlighted in a trailer for the game. ![]()
