More than any game I have played in a while, this one is all about the triggers. Availability: Out on November 12th on PS4, Epic Games Store, Apple Arcade and PS5.These mythical landscapes are always in danger aren't they? But few are as thrilling to get around in as this one. Forget the plot, the task at hand, the ancient legends and the destruction of the world that looms red and malignant on the horizon. The Pathless is an absolute hymn to the pleasures of movement and speed. Beneath louring skies and surrounded by the halted spires of old temples, I did start to get my own bearings. These things were taken out, apparently, to ground the player in the world, to make them see these rain-darkened trees and murmuring grasslands as places to be understood and learned on foot rather than just empty stuff employed to space out the set-pieces. There's no map in The Pathless, no waypoint or fast-travel systems that might make navigating its daringly large fantasy forests and steppes a little easier.
