About The Pathless

✦ AI summary

The Pathless is an action-adventure where you play as the Hunter, wielding a unique archery system to battle corrupted spirits across a beautiful open island while soaring on your eagle companion's wings. What sets it apart is the seamless blend of fluid aerial combat, environmental puzzle-solving without a map to guide you, and an award-winning soundtrack that dynamically responds to your gameplay.


ARCHERY AND FALCONRY

Become the Hunter, a master archer who travels to a mystical island to dispel a curse of darkness that grips the world. Soar through the air and forge a connection with your eagle companion. Perform fluid acrobatics and execute awesome trick shots with a unique archery system that allows effortless shooting while moving at high speeds. The Godslayer won’t rest until the world is destroyed. Your bond with your eagle and the fate of the world hang in the balance.

EXPLORE AN OPEN WORLD

With no map to guide you, shape your own path through ancient lands filled with secrets. Traverse lush meadows and snowy tundras, ascend mountaintops and glide over misty forests as you soar to new heights on the wings of your eagle. Discover the dark history of the island as you solve puzzles in ancient ruins and unearth long-forgotten lore. Peer through the veil of reality as you use your spirit sight to uncover the secrets of the past and find your path through this pathless land.

FREE THE ANCESTRAL SPIRITS

Giant corrupted spirits stalk their domains. Hunt them down with your trusty bow and a little help from your eagle companion-- but be cautious, or the Hunter could become the hunted. Engage in epic boss battles against the cursed beasts to restore light to the land. Dust yourself off and get ready to try again if you fail–The Pathless doesn’t punish you with permanent damage or death.

AWARD WINNING SOUNDTRACK

Immerse yourself in an interactive music system with one of the most expressive scores ever written by industry legend Austin Wintory. Featuring traditional Tuvan throat singing from the fabulous Alash Ensemble.

STUNNING LANDSCAPES

Explore a beautiful and captivating world from the mind of Journey and ABZÛ visionary Matt Nava. In the ruins of an ancient civilization reclaimed by the wilds, verdant forests border massive cliff faces with snow-capped peaks. Navigate crumbling temples and towering spires in your quest to bring the light back to this cursed land.

STORIED VOICE ACTING

Set out to stop The Godslayer, voiced by Troy Baker (The Last of Us, Arkham Origins, Bioshock Infinite), as The Hunter, voiced by Laura Bailey (The Legend of Vox Machina, Last of Us 2, Gears of War).

It's crazy beautiful, it's much more a game about how it feels to play it vs the gameplay itself. The puzzles are generally simple and it's basically impossible to 'die' in this game. It's very accessible but less game'ish. The camera work when you start running is out of this world! You could say it has the delight of MONUMENT VALLEY.

a really cool evolution on Journey and basically Breath of the Wild but its also really grindy and i can't say the story gripped me all that much I still really enjoyed it and its convinced me that Giant Squid should make an Avatar The Last Airbender game

Felt like it had the spirit of Shadow of the Colossus woven through it. A straightforward adventure, satisfying secrets and bosses.

I really enjoyed this game. It's quite short and really easy but charming with a beatiful story.

With the recent release of the giant squid collection i finally got around to playing the pathless. I've been a fan of this studio since playing the excellent Abzû but i loved sword of the sea even more. The pathless sits somewhere inbetween but they're all pretty close to one another. Whereas Abzu excelled most in storytelling and sword of the sea in movement, the pathless' biggest strenght is the pure exploration. It's genuinely one of the most fun 3D worlds i've explored with so many things to find and discover. Also it's absolutely massive so depending on how completionist you wanna be with it you'll be exploring for a while. Another benefit of such a big world is that it allows for many awe inspiring vistas that excel at giving a sense of scale. It's also quite obviously beautiful with that signature Giant squid artstyle. Especially the lighting & godrays and all the different colours that contrast or suplement eachother. But also the scattered ruins with their impressive architecture and the way they blind in with the terrain and all its natural formations. It's just a gorgeous world supplemented by an equally gorgeous soundtrack. Austin wintory has once again delivered a sc…

This game should be classified as deck verified. Got to the ending without technical issues on my deck. Beautiful game.
