The Pathless review

At the very beginning of the game, the hunter arrives on an unknown island and finds an exhausted deity in the guise of an eagle, who gives her a certain divine sign and asks to help cleanse her totems from the influence of dark forces. After this is done, the deity will fly to its nest, and the hunter will go after him.

Arriving at the nest, the girl will face the Deicide, who will ask him to leave this world, since there is no place for mortals in it. After that, the villain will again desecrate the eagle and she, dying, asks the hunter to save all her children and defeat the enemy before he becomes a dark god. Leaving, the girl will take a little eagle from the nest, which will now help her in this adventure.

To clear the next island, the hunter will have to explore it in search of totems of deities and signs for their purification. The locations in the game are quite extensive and special magic markers scattered throughout the island will help you explore. By shooting them, the hunter will gain stamina and gain acceleration, which will greatly simplify her movement.

The eagle will also help in research, allowing you to make double jumps and cover long distances in flight. There is no mini-map in the game, but there is a kind of magic mask that gives divine sight and shows the approximate path to the goal.

To obtain divine signs, you will have to solve many interesting puzzles. There are some rather difficult puzzles in which you have to use many platforms to activate the necessary mechanisms.

Since the world in The Pathless is cursed, storms often occur. Once caught in a whirlwind, the eagle will be carried away to the side, and the hunter will be forced to hide from the cursed deity intending to kill her. When the eagle is found, it will use its divine power and purify the area.

After all the signs are found, and the totems are activated, the hunter will face a battle with the defiled god. By shooting at the eyes located all over the body of the enemy, and dodging his attacks, the girl will weaken the deity, and the eagle will bring the matter to the end. Having been defeated, the defiled god will cleanse himself of the filth and purify the entire surrounding area, filling it with bright colors. He will thank the girl and bless her for further battles with his enslaved brothers. Screenshots
