Pathway

Would I recommend it? I'm honestly not sure. I was really attracted to the concept, it's an Indiana Jones-style adventure, with FTL-like exploration, turn-based combat, and amazing pixel art. At first, the atmosphere is solid, and the setting is exactly the kind of thing that should make for a fun adventure game with a good music to supplament it. But after playing it for a while and finishing all five missions, I felt that the game was much less interesting to play than it was to look at. My biggest problem was that the whole experience feels very repetitive - The random events falls into few simple variations of the same things: find some loot, encounter some enemies, visit a shop, or make a choice that usually leads to combat. And after a while, I found myself clicking through the events rather than reading the flavor text. The combat is probably the most disappointing part. The game clearly takes inspiration from XCOM, but it doesn't have anything close to the same tactical depth. Most fights eventually become a matter of finding cover and shooting enemies one by one. There simply aren't enough abilities, objectives, environmental interactions, or tactical options to keep th…

Great & Fun !

If you take the Indiana Jones multiverse and boil it down to its constituent elements (mysticism, exploration, hand-to-hand combat, cool artifacts, N@zis having their faces melted off) and then use that material to flavor a laid-back X-COM tribute, you'd have Pathway. I've absolutely played it into the ground, but that's a credit to the game - it's easy to jump into, occasionally challenging without being overwhelming, and well-written enough that it rewards you for tuning into the story as you progress through its campaigns. It would have been brilliant if these guys had put out some kind of world-expanding DLC, but I get that most games have to be one-and-done for financial reasons. Still: Elegant, entertaining, as artistic as you can get with the throwback graphics (which I personally love, although it's not everyone's jam.) Absolutely worth the purchase price if turn-by-turn line-of-sight combat stuff is your jam.

I loved this game. It transports you to an era that never actually existed, but somehow feels completely real, a time when exploring ancient Egyptian ruins was all the rage, lost civilizations were being uncovered, and technologies far beyond their time were being discovered. And then you throw Nazis into the mix. Visually, the game is stunning. The color palette is absolutely gorgeous and does an amazing job of bringing this strange, pulpy adventure world to life. A fantastic little adventure with so much charm and personality.
