However, beware as you explore each region, for the god is skulking around, searching for you relentlessly in the hopes of stopping you. And donвЂ™t worry about not being able to complete certain tasks, as thereвЂ™s enough things to do to earn emblems that you wonвЂ™t be starved for finding more. To solve these puzzles, youвЂ™ll need all that you have with you your bow, your eagle, and your spirit vision, a tool that allows you to see things invisible to the naked eye. And these arenвЂ™t just basic puzzles that require barely a thought, but instead some genuinely interesting showcases of the use of this gameвЂ™s mechanics. The activities you do to acquire these emblems varies from platforming to puzzles. ItвЂ™s not just aiming and shooting, thereвЂ™s actual thought put into the mechanics to make the game not just be a mindless walking sim where youвЂ™re running from place to place collecting emblems. Or, if you get the timing down pat, you can release once the diamond is halfway full, and get a faster perfect shot. The more you hold it down, the more the aiming diamond will fill, the more accurate your shot will be.

First, you wonвЂ™t be aiming, instead youвЂ™ll lock on to a target and hold down the trigger. Wielding the bow in this game is rather interesting, especially with the Dualsense adding some resistance to the triggers for extra immersion.

I for one enjoy this as it keeps you engaged in the game, and even allows you to train with your bow to get used to how it feels. These targets are scattered about the map, so thereвЂ™s plenty to go around. While most open world games would just have you run from place to place with maybe a stamina meter that refills over time, in The Pathless you need to shoot targets to regain stamina. Movement in this game is unique compared to others. These towers will then shine their lights upon the god, and weaken them to prepare them for the hunt. Once she has the sufficient number of emblems, she must insert them into a tower, of which there are three in each region. In order for this to happen, she must collect the emblems of these gods by exploring the regions each corrupted god stalks, solving puzzles with all the tools and mechanics available to her. To do this, she must purify each of these gods. Armed with her bow, and joined by an eagle companion, she sets out to stop a man known as The Godslayer from creating what he calls вЂњThe One True Path.вЂќ To do this, she must save the gods that have been corrupted by his power and cleanse the lands back to their original state. In The Pathless, you play as a woman known only as The Hunter as she arrives at an island to lift its curse that has the whole world clenched in its grasp. And all the while running at a smooth sixty frames per second on PS5 is a feast for the eyes. With its colors and designs, this is a good case on why smaller games can look better than even the most realistic looking of games.

And it all looks good even when in movement, as the motion blur (which you can turn off), even on high, isnвЂ™t as ridiculous as some other games. Its unique artstyle, which blends cartoonish looks with amazing designs, make for one stellar looking game. From the creators of ABZU comes their next interesting experience, with themes surrounding the ideas of religion.Д«efore you even get to gameplay, you can tell this game is gorgeous. The Pathless is an action-adventure game developed by Giant Squid and published by Annapurna Interactive. So, after AstroвЂ™s Playroom and Bugsnax, the first PS5 game I actually purchased was The Pathless. While I am excited to play these games as well, I like to look at some of the smaller games, where unique art styles reign supreme. DemonвЂ™s Souls, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, AssassinвЂ™s Creed: Valhalla, and more are there to push these consoles to show off their best features (though some of them are on the previous generation as well). When it comes to new generations of consoles, youвЂ™re always so excited to try out the best of the best of what can be shown on the newest hardware.
