    Quite boring, don't know how it is rated so high. You explore a bland world, with story being little text box messages when you click on fallen warriors.

    Too overrated and expensive game with arty graphics and relaxing soundtrack.    … Expand

    I would prescribe The Pathless to anyone feeling numbed and locked by our days of inanition; it’s perfect if you feel your home becoming an isle on the edge of the world.

    The Pathless is yet another brilliant game from Giant Squid, one with great harmony between almost all of its elements that sends you on a short adventure in its unknown and strange world.

    The Pathless is as majestic as it is haunting. It’s ruminative and captivating. Above all, it’s one of the most incredible meditative adventures ever created.
