The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who want fluid, open-air exploration, archery, and a close bond with an animal companion: Build speed by striking targets as you race across a mythic island, then use that momentum to explore and solve environmental puzzles alongside your eagle. Tradeoff: The open traversal and puzzle solving take priority over deep combat or a densely told story.

The setup
What you are walking into
The Pathless is a mythic adventure where you play as the Hunter, a skilled archer who explores a mysterious cursed island with an eagle companion. Your goal is to lift an unnatural shroud of darkness that plagues the world. As you bound acrobatically through dense forests, you will hunt prey, discover ancient ruins, and form a deep bond with your eagle. But beware: dangerous spirits also lurk in the woods. If you aren't careful, you may become the hunted yourself.
