The brisk traversal mechanics and sweeping adventure make “The Pathless” an easy recommendation for a weekend. I initially played thru it three years ago, but this second play thru hit just as well as the first. The puzzles walk a fine balance between not too difficult and not too simple, while the boss fights left me shook and all aided by a wonderful story with great atmosphere. I do wish the game had a mini-map system. I get why it doesn’t, as navigation is baked into the mechanics of the game, but whilst doing the side quests I found it difficult to navigate sometimes. Otherwise, this is a great game and a great entry into Anna Purna’s gameography.
