Yesterday the world of "The Pathless" seemed okay.

But now a darkness that devours all light has settled over a magnificent island.

The villain responsible for this, called "God's murderer", lets his castle made of lava and fire float boldly in the sky.

Who can stop so much evil?

A real heroine is needed here!

And the players slip into exactly the role of this heroine in "The Pathless", a particularly beautiful action game from the Californian developer studio Giant Squid.

They are mainly known for the pretty, but playfully very simple underwater adventure "ABZÛ".

"The Pathless" is just as beautiful, but has a lot more to offer in terms of content.

"The Pathless": Frenzy and puzzlement

This time there is no diving, but running: the heroine of the game is a ranger who darts at breakneck speed through an open world full of puzzles.

Your most important tools are bows and arrows.

In “The Pathless” there is hardly any fighting, instead the bow is mainly used to solve puzzles and to move around.

Because small symbols are scattered all over the world.

If the heroine shoots them down, she receives a boost in speed - and thus sometimes develops breakneck speed.

"The Pathless" turns the mere movement into an interesting playful challenge.

However, the nameless heroine is not only on foot and not only on the move: At her side is a brave eagle who not only helps to solve puzzles, but can also carry her through the air - only short distances at first, in the course of the Game but also in breathtaking heights and almost across the entire game world.

And it's worth it, because the fantasy world of "The Pathless" with its varied, colorful landscapes is almost worth the entrance fee on its own.

Combined with the dramatically staged boss fights against the henchmen of the murderer and the atmospheric soundtrack, the result is an all-round successful adventure.

"The Pathless" by Giant Squid and Annapurna Interactive was released for PC, Playstation 4, Playstation 5 and iOS and costs 30 to 35 euros, depending on the platform.

The Pathless is only available on iOS as part of the Apple Arcade subscription service.
