All great things however, this game has a $50 CAD price tag. It's also aggravating to locate the goods you'll need to advance as the red glow does not tell you whether the area is a lightstone needed for story progression or simply a collectible. I just want to explore and solve riddles. To make matters worse, there's this terrifying fire dome chasing you across the level, and getting dragged into one demands you to stealthily collect your eagle companion and dust them off in order to continue the game. It's fun at first to shoot your arrows at these small targets to gain speed and slide and fly around the map, but even before this mechanic is introduced, you'll notice how slow and sluggish your character is, and having to rely on hitting those targets to gain any speed is a minor annoyance, making getting from puzzle to puzzle a chore. The movement archery mechanic is unique and enjoyable most of the time but it has a level of jankiness that ruins the flow of the game. This is easily the highlight of the game.

In short, The Pathless is a deeply atmospheric and memorable experience that masterfully guides you through a realized open world with fluid movement, an excellent soundtrack, and insane boss fights. There's also a nice surprise in store for fans of Abzu that left me pondering how the games are related. It has a clear message, and it explores the meaningful bond between an a hunter and an eagle as they seek to restore light to a world obscured by the Godslayer, a mysterious figure who seeks to remake the world. The story was great, although it was definitely the weakest part of the game for me. Coupled with incredible music from Austin Wintory, the boss fights make for memorable experiences that make the whole game worthwhile. They're visibly striking while not being unreasonably challenging, and each fight is built up so well.
Each boss fight is unique, and the flashy art style and smooth movement make for such an incredible experience. The boss fights are definitely the highlight of this game, and they deserve a section all to themselves in this review. In addition, the gliding mechanic coupled with lots of high vantage points allows the player to explore to the fullest sense.
