Secondly, once you've got your bird back, you need to cleanse it by simulating a stroking motion all over until all of the curse juice is gone. This becomes tiresome after just a few times. You then need to slowly creep over to rescue it, periodically stopping whenever the big bad’s gaze falls your way. Firstly, before you're ready to face them, an area's boss will sometimes trigger an event whereby you’re separated from your eagle. (Image credit: Giant Squid/Annapurna Interactive) Find your way Sometimes, I'll get the best views soaring through the air, hanging from the feet of my remarkably strong eagle as we gently drift down to our next destination.
Outside of puzzles, I enjoy finding the thoughts of dead soldiers frozen in time, and admiring the abandoned temples, curious structures, and skeletons of huge, unknown beasts that have been left lying around. This caused me a bit of a head scratch when I found a weight on the ground, and a pressure plate about a hundred feet in the air. He's only able to carry one thing at a time, so he can't lift you into the air while he's already got something in his talons. Keith will need to move targets, perhaps, or lift weights to bring to pressure plates. You'll need to shoot arrows through consecutive targets, for example, but lining them all up will often involve asking Keith, your eagle (that’s not its name, but let's pretend) to help. Your eagle and your bow tend to be of equal importance in these puzzles. This isn’t an indication of puzzles that are too easy, rather another sign of the game’s dedication to constant, smooth motion. They test your brain without being obnoxious I never got stuck for more than a minute or so, and even that was rare. The world offers puzzles in place of enemies, and I enjoyed all of them. The Pathless doesn’t have a release date, but is “coming soon” to the PS5.(Image credit: Giant Squid/Annapurna Interactive) Eagle aid Instead of losing time, the player loses their progression towards gaining new upgrades. Rather, being defeated results in The Hunter’s having the crystals that she’s collected knocked out of her.
Interestingly, failing to beat the cursed creatures won’t result in a typical game over screen. Naturally, using the mask at higher vantage points will prove especially beneficial when trying to discover a new path forward.īeyond the exploring and puzzle-solving adventures, The Hunter will face “giant cursed spirits,” all of whom want to separate her from the eagle companion. It allows her to “peer into the spirit world and discover distant landmarks.” The helpful tools attached to this feature even show players where they’ve been previously. Enter the significance of The Hunter’s mask. Yet, a traditional open-world map doesn’t factor into this particular experience at all. In a game about traversal and exploring, one would think the map is of the utmost importance. Such maneuvers are also designed to factor into the eagle’s flight mechanics that The Hunter uses to soar over the land. Instead, striking the talismans, and any other object with the bow, will be all about timing. From the player’s point of view, however, this mechanic won’t revolve around precision.
Talismans planted throughout the world are what The Hunter must shoot to gain momentum and move at a quicker pace. In The Pathless, players are to assume the role of The Hunter, a master archer who aims to rid her world of a “curse of darkness.” She’ll be joined by her eagle companion on this journey, who assists her in navigating and exploring the mythic landscape.
