The Pathless

Unfortunately 50 series drivers can no longer launch this game for whatever reason. I played this months back and had no issues and reinstalled it and the game wont even launch properly. Reached out to customer support for assistance and they don't have a fix for it which is unfortunate. So check your computer specs before you but it if for whatever reason you are looking into buying a 5 year old game lol

What a amazing journey

This feels like something i would enjoy as a kid, but as an adult with money and options for more meaningful experiences, especially with literally thousands of universally loved games of all genres on steam, a normal $40 price tag for this is insulting. The game looks beautiful and the music is great, sadly though it offers zero explanation of what you are supposed to be doing whatsoever, once you figure it out on your own, what is here is shallow and time consuming. With how huge the map is it takes a long time to across areas that are mostly empty outside a couple pointes of interest per area, it feels like it was made to waste your time. The movement doesn't feel as good as should as it boils down to monotonous puzzles to get keys to liberate towers in area then do a boring boss fight rinse and repeat. This is more of a personal preference as I think some people will enjoy it, but even for the sale price of $8 there is so many other games that respect your time. Also with RTX 50 cards the game doesn't work

About 7 hours to finish the main quest. I didn't get all the lightstones as the maps are fairly large and it takes a bit of traveling and searching to do so. If they added some sort of map, I would have done that as it can be time consuming to hunt around. The lightstone locations could also be better highlighted when using the mask. I did enjoy the gameplay which is rather simplistic and easy to get used to. The graphics are beautiful and the music haunting lovely. The story while typical is good enough for the short time to play out. There is a bunch of lore scattered about which sort of fills in some gaps but most of it seems to be just an add on to give you something to read. The biggest plus (for me) is that you can't die. You just get up and try and try again. I liked that a lot as someone who has a ton of games to play and very little time to "get gud". The biggest minus I have is chasing after the monsters at the beginning of boss fights as it is just tedious and feels added on to pad time. Most boss fights are easy to understand the mechanics mostly due to the fact that you can either sprint, jump or shoot. There isn't much else to combat. In any case, it is a n…

Like it! Completed twice, on ps4 and deck

This is one of those games where I could hang every frame on my wall as the framing and world design, as well as of course the graphical style, create a wonderfully beautiful world that is ever-enchanting to get lost in. The smooth gameplay that zips you through these fields and woods invites a feeling of zen that draws you in and keeps you glued to your screen.
