The Pathless Reviews
The Pathless wakes a feeling in me that not many games do: The feeling that I'm free, can make my own decisions and do what I want. Some technical issues hold it back a bit.

The Pathless wraps you with its agile mechanics and a sense of freedom. It is ecstatic to explore the world as the Huntress, who jumps and runs with speed and style while shooting arrows at targets. Progression is free and the vast settings have a lot of puzzles and story context, but the limited variety gets tiring after a while. The visuals, the music and the ambiance create an adventure with a contemplative feel, however the simplicity of many aspects is uncomfortable. In the end, The Pathless offers a unique, if not very memorable, journey.

The Pathless may not be my favorite game, I found quite a bit wrong with it, but the messaging was clear and resonated with me.
The Pathless is surely the most ambitious project so far from Giant Squid and delivers thrilling gameplay elements that shine especially during boss fights. The often empty worlds and repetitive tasks are a bit of letdown but this game should still not be missing in everyones PS5 Library

The Pathless is a gorgeous adventure with an entertaining traversal mechanic and a subtle but effective narrative. Running, jumping, and gliding around with your eagle friend while solving enigmatic puzzles is a real joy. While some lackluster stealth sections and difficulty maneuvering during some boss sections are present, it doesn’t take away from the overall experience. Whatever direction you decide to travel, The Pathless leads you to some special gaming moments.
The Pathless is a fantastic game full of rewarding exploration and moment-to-moment gameplay that gets right at the heart of what makes open world games fun.
[The Pathless'] presentation, its challenges and puzzles, and its unique one-two archer-and-falcon punch are noteworthy enough to pick it up as either a PC indie darling or a lovely launch title for your newly-acquired PS5. In other words, take flight.
