While most of your surroundings are beautiful and bright, some of the towers are shrouded in a dark orange light, indicating the Godslayer’s evil influence. The Pathless is largely set in sprawling fields dotted with ancient temples and towers to explore. Just like in Abzu, Giant Squid has crafted a game that heavily emphasizes exploration and non-verbal storytelling by providing players with breathtaking vistas and animations that are stylistically similar to titles like 2012’s Journey. In many ways, The Pathless strikes a similar note to Giant Squid’s previous title, Abzu. It sees you playing as a master huntress trying to save the world and its gods from the evil Godslayer.
