I am sure that there are people out there (completionists especially) who will love this game as it is, but I cannot help but feel that a bit more inventiveness and a less cliché story would have made it much better. My main issue is that once gameplay has been established in the first and second sections it is pretty much repeated for the remainder of the game. The movement mechanic is different but may not be to everyone’s taste and could even be off-putting for some. Most of The Pathless plays to its mechanical strengths, free-form exploration, satisfying movement, and methodical puzzle-solving.

The Pathless has a nice visual design and cleverly designed puzzles to solve. There are only a handful of those moments in the game, though. The Pathless won’t kill you or do you any lasting harm, so if you fail, get back up and try again. The Pathless launched for PS4 and PS5 back in 2020, and sits with a very respectable rating of 4.03/5 on TrueTrophies, where it also has an estimated completion time of around 12 to 15 hours.
