Game is great

I wish I could give this 5 stars but I can’t bring myself to do it. Everything it promises it delivers but 120-70 dollars a year that’s pretty expensive for a game made with an ungodly amount of help from AI. That’s the other thing I don’t have 70 bucks to spend on this but if I did I would not want to spend it on a game with loads of AI art. This is still a great game and I will use my free trial as long as I can and props to whoever made this you’ve succeeded. To anyone reading this just download it, it motivated me to run and is very fun you get a decent free trial time with no down payment or info needed and it’s very fun reminiscent of old RPG’s. This is a great game but for me not worth it but it might be worth it to a more serious runner or a person with higher fitness goals.

Not worth at all.

Originally really excited about it until I saw how much they want to charge haha. Wouldn’t even pay their monthly price if it were for the full game

The Best Fitness RPG Available

This app has given me the motivation to be more consistent with my running than ever before.

The community is also amazing and the creator is constantly adding new content and features.

Motivation

I don’t know who came up with this idea but thank you! My husband and I only motivation for running every day (and I’m talking minimum of 3 miles every day) is this game, so thank you! Please don’t let this app die!

Great game except for my sore legs

I got this to make my weekly run more fun. Now I’ve been running every single day. The game is surprisingly compelling and I find myself saying “screw it, I’m just going for a quick run,” so I can unlock the next thing. He took all the dark arts of addictiveness and unleashed it on exercise motivation. Honestly a brilliant idea. I almost just wish there was a weekly reward for taking a rest day, cause it’s a bummer not being able to play when I need my legs to recover!

Insanely motivating; highly recommended.

Hi Dan. I really appreciate your review. Thank you!! - Otang

Awesome

So far the app is awesome. Guilds are great to join, and it really makes you want to go out there and run. Especially knowing you have people counting on the mileage you are producing as well as the perks of leveling up your character.

Rocta!! Thank you so much for the kind review. Happy training! - Otang

My inner child loves this. My outer adult approves of the exercise!

Getting myself off the couch is hard but I think I found the right carrot! If you grew up playing any MMORPG you’re going to enjoy this a lot. The dev team is super engaged with users and the game is constantly getting fun updates. Great game. Can’t wait to level up and see how fit I can get!

Hi Mr. River Bear, Thank you so much for taking the time to write a nice review. I hope your running and training go really well. Take care. - Otang

One month in and loving it

The RPG element keeps me engaged and wanting to level up my character, and the weekly quests help give me that extra oomph to get moving, or put in that extra little bit. I hate paying a subscription fee, but love that once you do it's completely ad free and merit based. Well done!

Uninstalled

The game is a cool concept and I enjoyed the RPG aspect. However it’s very clunky and I had multiple issues trying to get my runs to sync with Strava/Health. If there was a free version I would have kept the app. It’s for the reasons stated above that I refuse to pay $100 a year. If they fine tune some things and rework the back end, I would consider reinstalling.

Hi paarnold. I appreciate you giving it a shot. Sadly we can't control the other apps syncing to Apple Health and Health Connect reliably, and that's where the majority of issues come from. That's why I added the in-app recording option. I understand the sync can be tricky to setup but if you send an email to support@pathbound.app I'd be happy to guide you. Either way, happy training! - Otang

Awesome, but pay to play

Le jeu est parfait, sauf que je ne veux pas payer pour utiliser l’application. Payer un prix d’application pour jouer ça me va, mais pas 100$/ annnée pour jouer à ce jeu.

Cash grab subscription game

Was looking forward to this game. It’s certainly a great concept and I like the retro pixel art style. I only played about 30 mins and logged in a few days later to have another go and was prompted to pay $100 a year or $15 per month. It’s a shame. Why do game devs think people want this?

Hi Jim thanks for trying the game. A lot of players are loving it, they compare it to a gym membership or a pair of shoes. If Pathbound gets you running just a few more times a week I hope it would be a great investment in your health. Happy training! - Otang

This game is perfect for runners.

This game is perfect for runners. Main reason is accountability. You run you can play. You don’t run you caaan play but you won’t want to because it would take to long to build of the stamina needed. Since I got this app I’m sneaking in extra run I wouldn’t normally do because I want to play. Big for motivation. You run and want a game that doesn’t take over your life but instead motivates you to get out and run? This is the game for you.

Running Made Fun

Pathbound is a really fun way to get back into running. Turning your real-life runs into points and progress makes staying active feel rewarding, while connecting with others adds even more motivation to keep moving and stay healthy.

Great potential

Saw this game pre launch and was very excited about it. First week I had it I ran more than I have in months, which was promptly halted by the high paywall. A one time purchase or lower monthly fee would even suffice but it’s just not worth the price. AAA games reserve the right to that kind of price tag, not something of this caliber. sad to go but appreciate the effort that went into the game. Revise the pay wall and you’ll get a lot more foot traffic 😜
