### 5/5 — Chefs kiss and a half 🤌🏻

*2023-06-21*

Other than some lag on the 4th valley (most likely due to sheer size, it is huge!) the game was so good it was almost impossible to put down. Each step along the way the puzzles get a step harder, keeping it fresh and new. I spent 10 hours on my first play though making sure to get everything. This game plays so well compared to other mobile games, the movement is clean and swift, and makes you feel as if you are actually flying. Each boss has its own unique personality and fighting style, that you begin to understand, each difficult in its own way. The game rewards exploring and engaging in the environment, while giving breathtaking landscapes to get lost in. Without spoiling too much, the ending is well worth the time and effort. It feels similar to a dark souls fight with multiple attack patterns thrown at you all at once in order for you to figure out. All and all this is one of the best mobile games I have ever touched to this day, shout-out to everyone involved in making this true masterpiece!! I also can see speed run potential as there are a lot of skips possible if you’re into that sorta thing. This is a game to show off 11/10!

### 4/5 — It’s great but needs an intro to where the characters are from

*2023-02-20, version 1.0.7*

It a good game and I love the graphics but the intro is just the main character is sailing to this area. Where is the person from and how old is he/she/they, and why did he decide to defeated the Godslayer you know? How did the Godslayer come to be. Also it feels really lonely because all of the people are dead. It also needs a longer ending to the game like for example you can make it so the main character can be respected by the people if they weren’t all dead. But other than that it’s a really good game🦅👌👍👍😃😃😊

### 2/5 — The Funless

*2023-02-10, version 1.0.7*

You start the game and are doing great! You beat the first boss and get some extra lightstones put them in the stone anticipate the reward but get nothing. You look it up and figure out that you need to get a ton more of them. You decide to go to the other areas and then come back to it later. Start getting discouraged by the second boss. After 6 hours and 13 walkthroughs you finally win. The you reach nimue. You spend weeks on it then decide to delete the app and reinstall it again after a year of not thinking about it. When you reinstall it you finally beat it. When you get to the bear you beat it pretty fast and you get sense of great accomplishment. You finally reach the godslayer. You keep trying for weeks to get past the eagle, get the bow and think it’s over. Then you realize you still have to beat the godslayer. After months of trying you beat him only to see a cutscene and the credits. You regain control of your character right in front of the place where you go to fight the godslayer and then you renter the place where you fought him out of your curiosity then find the exact same thing as the last time. You’re completely drained of your happiness and pride. In your sadness you return to the comfort of your creative mode world in Minecraft where the pathless can never hurt you again.

### 4/5 — Fun and Frustrating

*2022-11-19, version 1.0.7*

A beautiful environment that invites exploration. Tedious at times in that you are doing the same thing over and over, in slightly different situations. Some of the puzzles are simple, others a challenge, and some I never did figure out. There are a series of BOSS matches, each absurdly frustrating. What you are expected to do is not at all obvious. Once you do figure it out, your best efforts are still not good enough. You will repeatedly be wiped off the playing field. Recovery time, to get back into the match, is WAY WAY WAY too long. I thouroughly enjoyed playing the game, and recommend it, all except the fight matches. Humerously, the final BIG BOSS match is the easiest to figure out and endure! Sort of backwards.

### 5/5 — Amazing Game!

*2022-08-20, version 1.0.7*

This game made me fall in love with all that Apple Arcade has to offer! Ain’t favorite game the iPhone has to date in my opinion! Every aspect of this game is what an arcade style adventure game is about. Subtle yet complex landscapes and scenarios. Can play at a very slow pace or fast pace if you’d like. Multiple areas to complete the puzzling situations you can find yourself in without the feeling of being stuck with plenty of game left to play. Absolutely amazing game. Developers deserve high praise! The lofi music and sounds added really helped when I needed to escape from any worldly stresses and relax especially with my high anxiety and depression. A very comfortable game to come to to feel calm.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2022-07-25, version 1.0.7*

This is one of my favorite games ever. The graphics are top notch, it’s great fun, and the story is unique and compelling. If you enjoy puzzles and exploring, you’ll love this game. Hint: if you get stuck, move on and come back later. 😉 It’s a bit glitchy at times, and I became quite frustrated when the game kept crashing during a particularly challenging boss battle, but I’m still giving it 5 stars. This game has an emotional component with the eagle companion that really enhances the overall tone of the game, as evil has seemingly conquered the world. You get to be the warrior who cleanses the land of that evil. The stuff you can do with your eagle is pretty cool, too! Each level up increases the challenges of puzzles, and increases your bond with your eagle companion. I would highly recommend this game! It is truly fantastic! The only thing I’d change is a longer story / more levels! Hats off to the creators & developers! 🌟🙌

### 5/5 — Attention developers! Please read!

*2022-07-06, version 1.0.7*

Ok, to start things off, I AM THIS GAMES BIGGEST FAN. 
Currently I am on the mountain tundra level and I have one complaint about it, when u first see the mountain tundra, it is EXTREMELY DEPRESSING. That place is GIANT. 
BIG QUESTION: (on my tv) so after I defeated the snake level, I was heading towards the shoot that brings me to mountain tundra and I noticed a wolf was following me. ? Much! The animals always run away, this wolf followed me when ever I stopped he stopped and just looked at me. I think it’s fur was black but I can’t quit remember. Whaaaat was up with that?? Then later when I downloaded the Pathless onto my phone and I got to that point, no wolf. Am I missing something?????????
So a few requests…
The game would be soooo much better if there was an option to get hints on what to do, I got sooooo confused at the point where u learn how to fly. I could not figure it out for ages.
One more thing, 

PLEASE MORE ANIMALS!!!
And can the animals PLEASE NOT RUN AWAY WHEN U GET CLOSE!!!!! 

P.s. I don’t think the monsters are hard enough to defeat! More please!!!

P.p.s. Why is the hunter’s clothes red if red is the bad guy color??? MAKE THEM BLUEEEE!

THATS ALL! Thanks for ur time! :P

### 5/5 — MUST PLAY SUPER ADDICTING!!

*2022-01-06, version 1.0.5*

When I started this game it was a little boring but it very very quickly got fun. I beat the whole game in a month and got the secret scene too. The game is really fun to play and gets really fun flying and unlocking new things. The graphics is really nice and the game is just too much addicting!

 I’m playing this on an iPhone 11 Pro and this game is meant for PS4/5 so of course your phone is going to heat up and you might need to pause it and let your phone cool down for a minute to not make the app crash(this happens rarely).

### 5/5 — Nimue was hard but the game is beautiful

*2021-12-28, version 1.0.5*

I love this game, it’s beautiful and Nimue was very hard you just had to run around and not get caught. It was easier on a iPad than on my PS4. This game is so unique and I’m still playing through it, I’m on the last son the one that I think is a bear. 

On my PS4 it kept overheating and would boot me out of my game every once and while but it will ALWAYS save your progress to the closest point it can. Which is honestly 🥰. And developers, don’t let the 1 star or 2 star reviews get to you, you made a beautiful game. 

The game doesn’t have any in game pay for things, and this game is really just a giant puzzle with boss battles before you go onto the next boss battle. It’s beautiful and fun sadly I am getting close to finishing it. I love this game and I want a second personally. I would love to see the rest of this world that the devs have made. 

The eagle is amazing and running around and shooting the talismans is so fun and then sprinting and you just keep on shooting them, I saw this game played by a YouTuber (I don’t remember the name, sorry) but I instantly fell in love with the graphics. 

The parts where the eagle is in it is beautiful. And, SPOILERS!! When the godslayer took one of the wings I actually thought the bird FREAKING DIED and I was like 👁👄👁

Spoilers over

Please people, play this game if you like puzzles and boss battles. Also if you like eagles.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2021-12-18, version 1.0.5*

I found the Pathless while wandering the App Store, and I sure am happy I did find it. This game is incredible, with exhilarating boss fights and clever puzzles. There is not a whole lot of mandatory dialogue, so at first it seems to lack story. But the world around you tells the story. Spirits who’s whispers can still be heard and mysterious tablets engraved with writing tell the story of the Godslayer (Main Boss), The Tall Ones (Corrupted Spirits), and what happened before the events of the game. Ruins scatter the landscape, hinting towards the fury of the corrupt Tall Ones. Overall, I love this game, from the tutorial to its bittersweet ending. It truly is an adventure you won’t regret…or forget.
