![]() ![]() That broken one on the floor? A shark! I’m pretty convinced this is a callback to Abzû. I also noticed in the room where each of the children were shown on totems, there was one more that was broken and lying on the floor. The Eagle Mother also mentions her children – elk, deer, lizard, bear and snake. Without too much spoiling here, this will lead to your new eagle companion. You’ll start by helping to cleanse her of corruption, but things don’t go as planned. On the first island, you’ll find The Eagle Mother, a guardian deity, glowing red and seeming to be in pain. Everything that looks to have been human has already died. There are a few animals here and there, but that’s all. As you explore, you’ll find there are no enemies throughout the land. You’ll find skeletons of those who came before her across the land, and some will tell you what happened to them. The Hunter has set out to an island that bridges the human realm with the spirit realm, in an attempt to stop the curse that has spread across the land by killing the Godslayer. You won’t be given a lot of story in the beginning of the game – you’ll be on a small boat sailing to an island. And as cute as the petting ability is, it is actually needed – as you pet the eagle to restore its health. It will also help to move objects for you into position when needed. The eagle is also used to help you solve puzzles – it can fly to places you can not, or into smaller places where you are physically too big. I think by the end of the game, I had earned close to 11 additional flaps. While in the air, you can glide, and this is incredibly helpful while you are looking for items. Each flap lets the eagle literally flap its wings while holding on to you, allowing you to go up into the air even higher. The eagle gives you an ability to jump even higher – and as you work through the game you will unlock additional ‘flaps’. More games need to have the option to pet the animal companions. The eagle becomes afraid at times, and looks to you for help. ![]() The Hunter is brave and fearless – the eagle is a baby. You will receive an adorable baby eagle companion. There is however, one more mechanic that makes this game even better. You also have a dashing mechanic, and if you hit the targets while dashing, you can extend your jumps or your dashing pretty much indefinitely. You have a button to fire arrows, but you can hold it down to aim a bit before firing. Joysticks to move around and to control your camera. ![]() I played this on the Playstation 4, and the controls were pretty straight-forward. As you begin the game, you’ll spend time learning how to navigate around and more importantly – how to shoot! She has a mastery of archery, and she’s traveling to a mystical land to break a curse. Let’s break The Pathless down into a few key areas: We strive to create innovative and deeply moving experiences that will inspire players, challenge convention, and push the boundaries of interactive entertainment to new exciting areas. Our goal is to create games that fulfill that potential. We believe that video games can be more than a pastime – they can be an artistic medium that delivers beautiful, meaningful, and timeless experiences to a wide range of people. It’s no wonder I have fallen in love with both of their games. I absolutely love how they describe the way they feel about video games. The developers of The Pathless, Giant Squid, are the same as Abzû. ![]()
