ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Pathless holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Pathless has 44 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of The Pathless's written reviews are positive against 68% of Laser Tanks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
