FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME. First of all I would like to say my first experience on the phone (XS MAX) was interesting because of 2 things: Instructions were limited so I didn't know the significance of the boxes that you shoot with arrows and the lag during gameplay. I ended up playing with a mfi controller and that changed the experience completely (especially on apple tv) I’ve never seen a game with such a wide angle perspective and the graphics are phenomenal. After I got used to the controls and understood the gameplay it made me feel like I was playing breath of the wild with a free running ninja style twist which is a great thing. Fell in love with it. Its unique and has a huge open world.

Fantastic game. This game is the only reason I have an arcade subscription. Fun game play. Kind of an open world idea in that you're not set on a linear path, but can explore and do different tasks at your own pace. Each world section was larger than I expected from an ios game, and didn't feel empty. It also takes time to fully explore and find everything. Once you have the shoot/speed mechanic down, the boss battles don't tend to be difficult. I would not recommend this game on an iPhone! Haven't had any crashes or major issues while playing on an iPad. Can lag at times. Highly recommend a controller!

Great but crashes. I love this game. It’s very fun to play and I enjoy the storyline. My only complaint is that EVERY time you play a boss, the game suddenly crashes and you have to start the chase from the beginning. You have to pause the game, turn your screen off, and then let the phone completely cool down before playing again and you have to repeat this every 30 seconds or so. I feel like I’ve spent a lot more time waiting to be able to beat the bosses than I have anything else in the game. I’m on who I think is the last spirit, but I hope this issue gets fixed ASAP.

Amazing. Let me start by saying I wouldn’t give them five stars if the game didn’t lag so much. However the lagging doesn’t cause a problem for gameplay it is seamless and smooth. I overall really love this game and I would love to see it on more platforms or make it into like an actual video game for consoles! The storyline so far is really good clear and seamless I love how there’s not really any instruction in the beginning on how to play you kind of have to figure it out I think that adds more to it. The graphics are also really good especially for a mobile game. I’m only halfway through the storyline but I absolutely love it and I would love to see more added to it. I hope it doesn’t end.!

Crashes. Game constantly crashes towards the final boss it seems like the platforms in which is intended to play on can’t keep up with all the moving parts that it automatically crashes no matter where I play iPhone,iPad Pro and Apple TV I can’t even finish the game because where it ends up crashing there’s no manual save option so I have to rely on it automatically saving when it doesn’t no matter what stage I am in during the fight when it crashes I have to start the Bossfight from the beginning which is very annoying Plus the controller doesn’t seem to register which button I press which is a constant lag please fix

Devs...good game, but.... Devs, you really made a great game. Believe me when I tell you, I get bored easily. I’m the type of gamer to install a title, play it for maybe a week, and then I uninstall. I actually played this game through. Good storyline, kept me entertained, I loved running through the landscape shooting talismans. It’s almost like I was trying to make the character an aerial acrobatic with new moves and tricks as I was moving, jumping, and flying threw the air. It’s actually very pleasant to try and make her do cool stunts in the air. My few complaints : on many occasions I would accidentally hit auto walk or run. Very frustrating when you’re trying to get precise movements on a phone or tablet. Second, the frame rate drops are horrible. Getting yourself into intense visuals while playing and then having the frame rates drop 30% brings down the visual immersion of the game. Third : I’m running an iPhone 12 and I truly thought this would run flawless on the A14, but I felt like my phone could cook an egg on the glass surface on the back of the phone. No Bueno my friends. But long story short, in the end I hope you ladies and gentlemen make another amazing action adventure title. I would really look forward to it.

Has Potential but…. The game has amazing graphics, and I love the extent that you can explore and the mini puzzles you have to solve; but some aspects of the game are absurdly difficult, making it seem impossible to finish at which point the game becomes tedious. I’m playing using my touchscreen which is not ideal: the controls are not responsive nor accurate enough. It feels like I’m trying to control a drunk person. I went from loving the game to feeling like I’m just wasting time chasing my tail. At this point, I’m not enjoying the game anymore and am done with it.

The Funless. You start the game and are doing great! You beat the first boss and get some extra lightstones put them in the stone anticipate the reward but get nothing. You look it up and figure out that you need to get a ton more of them. You decide to go to the other areas and then come back to it later. Start getting discouraged by the second boss. After 6 hours and 13 walkthroughs you finally win. The you reach nimue. You spend weeks on it then decide to delete the app and reinstall it again after a year of not thinking about it. When you reinstall it you finally beat it. When you get to the bear you beat it pretty fast and you get sense of great accomplishment. You finally reach the godslayer. You keep trying for weeks to get past the eagle, get the bow and think it’s over. Then you realize you still have to beat the godslayer. After months of trying you beat him only to see a cutscene and the credits. You regain control of your character right in front of the place where you go to fight the godslayer and then you renter the place where you fought him out of your curiosity then find the exact same thing as the last time. You’re completely drained of your happiness and pride. In your sadness you return to the comfort of your creative mode world in Minecraft where the pathless can never hurt you again.

Outstanding, but laggy. Ok, so I actually really like the mechanics of this game! Very cool and fun! However, I’m at the very beginning and I’m honestly not sure where to go or what to do. Kind of stuck, and making it not very fun cause all I’m able to do is run out and shoot arrows at the floating eye things with no real goal or mission. Please implement a system that gives me some direction of what I’m supposed to do exactly. If I’m supposed to search for something, maybe give me a quest list that tells me what I’m supposed to do. Other than that, so far it’s a pretty cool game UPDATE: Ok, so I got some confusing stuff figured out. Once I figured that out, the game makes a lot more sense and is SUPER fun! However, it’s still quite laggy at times. I’m using an iPhone 12 Pro, so that’s pretty much going to be the fastest phone available and it’s laggy on my phone. I think the game is well developed and very cool, but fixing the lag would help it immensely. Love the world, and boss fight is epic and well done. Love the visuals and creativity.

The Pointless. This game came with so much hype, so I thought I’d give it a go. Apple Arcade consists of two types of games, about 5% decent games, and about 95% indie-trash. This is definitely the latter. It’s much like they took the outstanding SamuraiJack, removed the excellent visuals, plot, dialogue, and pretty much anything to do, and re-released it. This game consists of wandering aimlessly through a forest with no landmarks, that looks identical in all directions, looking to do something that isn’t defined. You run and run for 20 minutes in any direction only to finally find something, but you are missing some item (good luck figuring out what it is since they only use symbols). Then you wander around for another 20 minutes in another direction only to find something you cannot jump high enough to reach, then if you have any sense, you delete this game and move on to a game that was finished before release.

Phenomenal. I found the Pathless while wandering the App Store, and I sure am happy I did find it. This game is incredible, with exhilarating boss fights and clever puzzles. There is not a whole lot of mandatory dialogue, so at first it seems to lack story. But the world around you tells the story. Spirits who’s whispers can still be heard and mysterious tablets engraved with writing tell the story of the Godslayer (Main Boss), The Tall Ones (Corrupted Spirits), and what happened before the events of the game. Ruins scatter the landscape, hinting towards the fury of the corrupt Tall Ones. Overall, I love this game, from the tutorial to its bittersweet ending. It truly is an adventure you won’t regret…or forget.

Console quality gaming and an Amazing story. This game completely took my breath away. It reminds me of Skyrim in that it is a big game but also extremely entertaining. You have several huge mostly open worlds to play around in. You travel by shooting your arrows at the targets and running. It’s extremely fun to just do that. The story line is amazing. If you don’t like this bird at the end there’s something wrong with you. The game has an amazing way of portraying this nightmare like scenario where you get caught in a storm having to hide while catching your bird. It’s kinda annoying but it’s just part of the game and makes it all the more realistic. I can not recommend this title enough. I never recommend anything on here. This one? This one is amazing!

Absolute masterpiece. CLARIFICATION: I played this game on my PS4, if you can, you should play it there This game is without a doubt one of the most serene and enrapturing experiences I have ever had, when I started playing it I played it non stop for the entire weekend until I’d completed everything there was to do in the game. The graphics are stylized and beautiful, the environments are stunning and the lore is a joy to dig into. The thought that this game can fit into my pocket is a marvel. That said, it doesn’t run the best. If this is your only way to play this game or if this is just where you like to play your games then I think this is a perfectly acceptable way to experience it. The controls don’t require precise aiming but they do lend themselves to precise timing which is always appreciated in a mobile game. If you can play this on your TV I highly recommend you find the biggest, prettiest screen you can and feast your eyes on the pure beauty of this game. No matter where you play it I’m sure you’ll find this game as amazing as I do.

One of the Best Games on Mobile. I just finished the game, and it’s a great title. I really like all the adventure, exploration, boss fighting, and some of the puzzle mechanics. It’s a beautiful title, with clearly a lot of care put into it. The world itself is vast and beautiful, and it’s great to play within it. The game doesn’t tell you what you should be doing, or how every gameplay mechanic works, so you have to discover and learn all that yourself. So there’s definitely a learning curve, but I found it satisfying to explore the game through your own initiative. Although I found myself being frustrated sometimes, that is only the exception. The only comment about this game I have is the camera (the player’s POV) movement when you’re inside smaller buildings. It’s clear that the camera is made for when you’re exploring the outside, but when you enter places like ruins, the can camera go through walls, which makes it a little annoying. Aside from that, the game runs pretty smoothly, and the controls are fluid. It just needs some more optimization sometimes. If you dislike these types of exploration-based games, then this probably won’t change your mind. But if you do love these types of games, then you’ll really love it.

Fun and Frustrating. A beautiful environment that invites exploration. Tedious at times in that you are doing the same thing over and over, in slightly different situations. Some of the puzzles are simple, others a challenge, and some I never did figure out. There are a series of BOSS matches, each absurdly frustrating. What you are expected to do is not at all obvious. Once you do figure it out, your best efforts are still not good enough. You will repeatedly be wiped off the playing field. Recovery time, to get back into the match, is WAY WAY WAY too long. I thouroughly enjoyed playing the game, and recommend it, all except the fight matches. Humerously, the final BIG BOSS match is the easiest to figure out and endure! Sort of backwards.

Give It A Try. I am using a Macbook Air 3 with mouse and keyboard. I have finished two levels, almost. Each level involves exploring, puzzles, and dispatching a Boss. The exploring and puzzles are well done and relaxing and easily a 5. I found the Boss elimination segment to be tedious and frustrating. A mouse and keyboard are not ideal to play the Boss segment of your game. In fact, the mouse look feature stopped working when timing and reflexes were most needed at the end of level two. Now here is a heretical idea. A skip killing the Boss button so some of us who enjoy searching and puzzles can finish your game.

Absolutely amazing. I have to admit, I was on the verge of canceling my Apple Arcade subscription. There are some okay games in the arcade, but none that really made me feel like it was worth it so far. Until this game came out and blew my mind. If they continue producing games like this in the arcade, then I will continue paying the subscription. This game is so beautifully done, the gameplay is fantastic, graphics are top notch for a mobile game, the story line is intriguing and keeps you wanting to find out what happens next. Hands down the best game in the arcade now. Absolutely love it! Thank you for changing my mind about the Apple Arcade subscription. It would have been a shame if I had missed this game!

Beautiful and Terrifying. This game is incredibly beautiful and terrifying. It sucked me into it's immersive world and I got to the end in a little less than a month. I only wish that I could've been able to explore the fully cleansed world after I destroyed the GodSlayer. It lets me continue to explore the world once it's done, but the GodSlayer is still living on the floating island, so that's unfortunate. I love this game for the vast atmospheric quality and it would be lovely if they'd let the world be fully open after the total cleansing. Future update maybe? Highly recommend anyways, I'm not a gamer but this is lovely.

Wonderful game. This is probably my favorite all time iPad game. It ran very well on my 2019 iPad Air. I have gone through the game twice now with only a few issues. Occasional crashes but nothing major. The game is very immersive, and I love the lack of a game map. It creates a sense of adventure to be sure. I have seen some comments about the bosses being too tough. It really is all about mastering the running/jumping/flying combinations and recognizing the patterns of each boss’ attack. It’s worth the time. I love beating each boss as quick as I can and then roaming around each level looking for lanterns, lore, etc. before moving on. It’s a load of fun.

Fantastic!. This is one of my favorite games ever. The graphics are top notch, it’s great fun, and the story is unique and compelling. If you enjoy puzzles and exploring, you’ll love this game. Hint: if you get stuck, move on and come back later. 😉 It’s a bit glitchy at times, and I became quite frustrated when the game kept crashing during a particularly challenging boss battle, but I’m still giving it 5 stars. This game has an emotional component with the eagle companion that really enhances the overall tone of the game, as evil has seemingly conquered the world. You get to be the warrior who cleanses the land of that evil. The stuff you can do with your eagle is pretty cool, too! Each level up increases the challenges of puzzles, and increases your bond with your eagle companion. I would highly recommend this game! It is truly fantastic! The only thing I’d change is a longer story / more levels! Hats off to the creators & developers! 🌟🙌

Worth a play. Loved it - the art style, game play, story line, battles, all of it. It’s simple, yet enjoyable. You definitely grow attached to your eagle buddy. The puzzles make you work, but not too hard. If you’re a terrain explorer, this is a good play; there are secrets that you can’t find by flying the whole time. That said, I do wish you could move the control buttons. When you fly up to certain places and the eagle isn’t available to catch you because their talons are full, kinda irritating when you accidentally hit the auto run and sprint off a ledge. Aside from that, fabulous. Would recommend. 👍🏽

It’s great but needs an intro to where the characters are from. It a good game and I love the graphics but the intro is just the main character is sailing to this area. Where is the person from and how old is he/she/they, and why did he decide to defeated the Godslayer you know? How did the Godslayer come to be. Also it feels really lonely because all of the people are dead. It also needs a longer ending to the game like for example you can make it so the main character can be respected by the people if they weren’t all dead. But other than that it’s a really good game🦅👌👍👍😃😃😊

Sometimes fun and sometimes frustrating. The Pathless is at its best when it's remixing the gameplay elements that made its spiritual predecessor Breath of the Wild so fun. Moving around is a joy, if your rig can handle it. Alternating between shooting targets and jumping, all while holding the dash button, feels wonderful, but alongside the game’s awesome sense of scale and color, it’s a feeling that’s hard to put into words. The Pathless also knows how to properly reward exploration and puzzles, bestowing not meaningless trinkets but the means to make moving around more fun. It’s a shame, then, that this bliss is occasionally interrupted by some story-driven combat, a series of encounters that all fall on a spectrum between boring and antagonistic (the roving storm “stealth” segments) and somewhat enjoyable tests of skills (the finale encounter, suitably impressive to play and to watch) that nevertheless frustrated me most of all because they interrupted the really fun parts of the game. I still recommend it. I’m looking forward to replaying it in a few years when the hardware I’m playing on can handle it on ultra settings at 60 FPS.

Amazing game. The Pathless is one of the better games I have found in Apple Arcade so far. One of the top 3 best in my opinion. I beat the game in about 6 hours and it was very fun. Considering playing it over again just for the fun of it, but I think that it would be great if there were new aspects of the game. It felt like the story of how you take each boss down was the same, and it definitely would take time but if there was a part of the story that continues on after you defeat the God slayer, I think people would be even more satisfied with this game. Maybe something like another evil that arises after the newly restored world.

Nimue. This is a nice looking game. There is some glitchy parts. The stages you have to go through with the bosses is a little over the top. I am not new to playing video games and there are for sure bosses That I have faced that where hard but not to the extent of Nimue. The part where you are in a circular room and have to face a boss with seven heads is ridiculous. You have no room to run at all. The markers to hit to let you run faster has no advantage at all. It just lets you run ahead of it. Once you stop you still have no advantage. Hitting one of the heads when you have the chance still gets you knocked out. I went back and started a new game to see if I missed anything and the funny thing is it seemed boring the second time around so I just stopped playing. If devs want to make the bosses be harder than they should ok I guess. Like I said I have playing games a long time. This one is just ridiculous. And the only response you get from the devs is silence unless you give a good review. I see some of the same reviews about this on here. It’s just no fun as you play through this game. 4 stages to get through bosses is just insane takes the fun out of it.

Needs work please update it can be so great. I first wanna say that i love the mechanics and the art style. The demonic version of the characters are so cool and the puzzles are challenging. I got some critiques though. In this game you essentially can’t die i wish there was a life system to add a little more urgency. I have also had to beat the boss twice cause the first time didn’t save properly. I have also beaten all the animal spirits and claimed all gifts but the achievement says i only have 75% done. I have also experienced bad lagging to the point i had to restart the whole app. Please fix these small problems and this game could be legendary. 🙏🙏

Why Play. What you have here is a gem a once in a life time story wrought with detail emotion, you get caught in this immersive Tale of finding your own way that you can’t help but proceed onward the Team that put this together went above and beyond to make something that goes beyond anything I have ever played and the best part about it is that it’s free. I recommend this game to All ages wear headphones explore the lore in the game. Explore every nook and cranny there is some much to experience here I implore you please don’t miss out there is more than you can imagine. - a Fan

Beautifully painful. I love your game. Seriously, I downloaded this game and as many have said before, games tend to bore me after a week or two of playing. This game on the other hand captures my ADHD mind. HOWEVER, I just got a brand new iPhone 13 and I know it’s not the 13 pro BUT, it should not be crashing how it does. In the middle of countless boss battles(including the one that just prompted me to write this) the game just completely closes and I have to restart the battle. Pretty painful considering that I was over half way done!! But, I really do enjoy your game, and I would really appreciate some future updates that fix these issues.

Giant Squid makes great games. The Pathless is fantastic. Beautifully animated, fun to play, and a fully realized world with just the right balance of backstory and mystery. Probably the best game on Apple Arcade. The only drawback is it might be too much game for a phone—I have a 12 Pro, and it still gets laggy at times, which isn’t a big deal for most of the exploration and puzzles, but a couple of the boss fights took more tries than they should have because I couldn’t see or react in time. If I had it to do over, I’d buy the console version, but definitely a top tier game.

Outstanding game, too much lag on iPhone X. This is definitely an amazing title, unfortunately, there are too many cases of very low frame rate on my iPhone X for this game to continue to be enjoyable. Since the game was made with Unreal Engine, I’m confused as to why there are no graphics scalability options in the app. If the app is automatically trying to set graphics settings based on my device, this feature doesn’t seem to be working. Compared to a game like The Witness, which features a large area with many draw calls, they still manage to get perfect frame rate throughout the experience. Though, I think the world of The Pathless is much much larger. Still, it seems like there could be a lot more culling and optimization work in many many areas of the environments, especially ones where you are able to look at large vistas. Looking towards less busy scenes brings the FPS back up. Perhaps the experience is buttery smooth on newer phones, but this game was a big reason for me continuing to try out Apple Arcade. Speaking of the game itself, it is wonderfully designed and has a great big beautiful world to explore. I just wish there were simple graphics options, even as simple as the Sky game options would be nice-actually necessary to make this an overall enjoyable experience for me. The frame drops really kill the immersion and experience when it happens, and it happens far to often by modern standards.

Beautiful game. I’ve been obsessed with this game for a few weeks now and just finished it. Some of the puzzles and boss fights can get kind of challenging but overall this was a great game and I grew to really like the eagle companion. There are great graphics and good character development. I do, however, wish there was a longer introduction in the beginning to make the game’s premise more clear as it did get confusing who the tall ones were and who the pathfinders were when reading spirits’ “last words” bubbles. I also had some difficulty keeping track of the different names for the spirits (of the tall ones). I felt like more clarity on this at the start of the game would help the storyline feel more meaningful and add more conviction to the main character’s purpose in the game. It would also be helpful if it were clearer which puzzles to complete first, as they do seem to get gradually more difficult and lead you (spatially) to the next level/area of the game. All the other pieces to help the story along were there though. All in all, this was a well-made game and I’m interested to see what else this developer makes next.

Good ideas, low quality experience. I hadn’t checked the game trailers in the app store before playing the game, so when I opened it and was getting 10fps with comical 2007 Nintendo DS graphics, I thought my phone was malfunctioning. Nope, it’s just how the game plays. This looks like MYST from the early 2000s. If my phone can run COD mobile with no problem, I don’t think that a single player open world game would have one either. I mean, this is 240p resolution in 2020. That’s almost two decades after 240p was impressive for mobile games. The developers are claiming that they needed to make the resolution this way to allow it to run on all devices currently supported by iOS, but really this makes no sense. Just add a graphics slider so users can choose their resolution. For an offline game, the frame rate and picture quality is unacceptable. I’m headed back to Sky: Children of Light.

Game is awesome, but.... I have to say this one of the better adventure games I played. A lot of effort and talent has been put into making it. Great graphics, phenomenal landscapes and a good storyline makes it very enticing, but playing it on an iPhone can be daunting. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the touch screen interface for the iPhone is clumsy at best. One can slog through a good portion of the game using it, but you get to a point where you can’t make any mis-touches because the responsiveness of the touch screen is so bad, plus your fingers are always covering portions of the battlefield which makes it that much harder, if not impossible because your moves have to be split-second accurate and you can’t do that with half the battlefield covered with your fingers. Perhaps it would be best played on a computer or console. I’ll have to see about using a wireless controller to get through that portion of the game.

Amazing Game!. This game made me fall in love with all that Apple Arcade has to offer! Ain’t favorite game the iPhone has to date in my opinion! Every aspect of this game is what an arcade style adventure game is about. Subtle yet complex landscapes and scenarios. Can play at a very slow pace or fast pace if you’d like. Multiple areas to complete the puzzling situations you can find yourself in without the feeling of being stuck with plenty of game left to play. Absolutely amazing game. Developers deserve high praise! The lofi music and sounds added really helped when I needed to escape from any worldly stresses and relax especially with my high anxiety and depression. A very comfortable game to come to to feel calm.

Glitchy and laggy, but overall a great experience. The game so far is overall amazing! I love the scenery, the combat, the mechanics. It’s all great!! There’s a couple problems where the fps will suddenly drop really low. Another big problem is that my game continuously crashes during the cutscene after beating the second boss. No matter how many time I try, it always crashes and I can’t move on. When I reopen the game, it’s back to before I beat the boss. This may just be because I have an iPhone 8, but I’m not sure. I think there should be a way to either skip the scenes or to make it so that if you beat the boss, it saves right after. That way, if it does crash, it will open to after the scene. Please fix this so that I’m able to complete this amazing game. Update: I was able to make it past the second boss by pausing every couple seconds and keeping it paused for about 30 seconds. I’ve been going back now and getting the rest of the artifact things and encountered a broken one in the autumn steppe. It’s a challenge where I’m supposed to get the flame to the finish by maneuvering around different obstacles. Two deflection things are provided that the bird can move but after I moved one of them, it’s unable to move back. I have the bird grab it and it won’t move in either direction so I can’t finish it and get the flame to the end. I don’t know if this is fixable.

Incredible!. This was so worth the wait. I just finished and can’t wait to jump in again. The world feels massive and it is gorgeous. They did a great job getting me emotionally invested in the relationship between the hunter and the eagle. It was super satisfying finding secrets (so many!) and finding every last light stone. Bosses were not too difficult but they were all satisfying. I’m also really impressed with the design of the touch screen controls- quite a feat for a console game on iOS/iPadOS. Speaking of, as has been mentioned by others this game really makes apple arcade worth it. What a deal- and I’ll probably be buying this on console as well to support the devs and to experience it on the big screen. Thank you so much; just an awesome experience.

LOVE THIS GAME!! BUT I need some help. My game is kinda stalled and I don’t know where to go for help except here. I’m in the second “world” Redwood Steepe, and I’ve come to some shrine there has big statues ,one on both sides of of the front wall. Each are built attached to the shrine and each has big red eyes. The fire storm was no where near my eagle and I, but when we got close to the shrine my eagle was suddenly burned and needing attention from me. When I pushed the symbol to pet him, the symbol stutters and his sits on my shoulder screaming but the game won’t let me pet him to fix him and I can’t find any other way to move on with him. HELP!! Please?!?! Thanks. ~Willow Wondrbean

Amazing and Adventurous!. Wow! There are so many things to say about this. First of all, I love the story line. You have a clear picture of what you are doing. It gives you a clear and easy way to play. Plus, you gat a pet eagle! What’s more cool than that?! Each level gave you a different scenery. Not two levels were the same and each were it’s own level of difficulty. You get to solve puzzles and story like runes. Once your done, you could play it again! The ending was probably my favorite part. It was sad, but made me happy as well. Now, if I said all of this, it should get a five star review right? However, I did have difficulty’s with the game. It would glitch often any sometimes black out. Didn’t like that. But overall, I loved it. I wouldn’t stop playing. The graphics are beautiful and the story itself is just perfect. Good job on this! I really would like more games similar to The Pathless. Thank you!

Amazing Game 10/10. There’s this looming cloud in the distance that foreshadows that this game has an end. And I hate it. This game is out of this world. It’s crashed on me only once, and when I opened it back up it brought be back exactly where I left off. I’ve been playing on my backbone controller, and it feels and plays better than most of the console games! It pushed Apple’s hardware during some of the boss fights- but that’s to be expected with a game as pretty as this one. Perfect balance in my opinion of insane graphics, and animations that can still be ran on a phone (pro model or not). 10/10

Godslayer Groundhog Day. I defeated the Godslayer, returned the light to the land and watched credits roll. I even received the “The Truth is a Pathless Land” achievement badge, for completing the game and watching the credits. From the main menu, I then selected “Start”, loaded the last save slot, which stated my location as, “Unknown”. That turned out to be the tower where one ascends to the Floating Isle, with blackness all around, like a didn’t just kill the Godslayer and return the light. So, I dusted off my bow, ascended once again, and kicked some Godslayer booty and switched the light back on yet again. Credits rolled (Thanks, everybody. Again). When I returned to my final save slot, location of, you guessed it, “Unknown”, it loaded up in that same tower spot, enveloped in darkness once again. So, even after beating the Godslayer twice, I am still in the dark, on The Path...remind me again, what’s the point of this game?

Attention developers! Please read!. Ok, to start things off, I AM THIS GAMES BIGGEST FAN. Currently I am on the mountain tundra level and I have one complaint about it, when u first see the mountain tundra, it is EXTREMELY DEPRESSING. That place is GIANT. BIG QUESTION: (on my tv) so after I defeated the snake level, I was heading towards the shoot that brings me to mountain tundra and I noticed a wolf was following me. ? Much! The animals always run away, this wolf followed me when ever I stopped he stopped and just looked at me. I think it’s fur was black but I can’t quit remember. Whaaaat was up with that?? Then later when I downloaded the Pathless onto my phone and I got to that point, no wolf. Am I missing something????????? So a few requests… The game would be soooo much better if there was an option to get hints on what to do, I got sooooo confused at the point where u learn how to fly. I could not figure it out for ages. One more thing, PLEASE MORE ANIMALS!!! And can the animals PLEASE NOT RUN AWAY WHEN U GET CLOSE!!!!! P.s. I don’t think the monsters are hard enough to defeat! More please!!! P.p.s. Why is the hunter’s clothes red if red is the bad guy color??? MAKE THEM BLUEEEE! THATS ALL! Thanks for ur time! :P

A great and beautiful game. The wide open areas of this game are a delight. Zooming around a gorgeous open world to find the temples and solving the puzzles inside is joyous. Fortunately, that makes up 90% of the game. The unusual instruments and style of the music is both beautiful and helps place the game in another world. It helps combine the different game elements into a cohesive whole. The boss fights are fine, but mostly cribbed from other games. They do start with zooming around the environment, which is nice. But the rest wouldn't be out of place in a PS2 game. You can't lose them, so they don't feel dangerous as the story wants them to. The worst part is when you are caught in a storm. They are tedious “stealth” portions that interrupt the best part. A few would be okay. Perhaps when you first activate a tower. But when you are in the middle of a puzzle and the color starts going red, it’s so disappointing. If they were more predictable, it would be nice. In the same vein, when you cleanse Kumo, the light is red. Which has already been associated with evil. It would be better if the light was golden, and the plants got a green boost.

Best Game Ever for IOS. This tops any other Apple Arcade game. Worth the subscription for this game alone honestly. It’s games like this that apple needs more of. It’s perfect except for some technical flaws. The frame rate and resolution drops 30-40 percent of the time. Doesn’t bother me so much but still needs resolving. No what frustrates me is the game crashes on me during the unskipable sauro cutscene when you beat the boss. Keeps happening. I can’t continue. I’m not starting a new game. It’s crashed on me when getting achievements. I no longer have them any more. FIX THE CRASHES. I have an iPhone 8. I really want to enjoy this game more. Will rate 5 stars after patch. UPDATE - I managed to get threw the cutscene without crashing. I restarted my phone and paused the game often during the cutscene to give my phone some time to chill. It managed to work so I’m updating my review to 5 stars unless I hit another major roadblock. I love this game and I’m glad to have it on my phone! UPDATE 2 - I ran in to a glitch where I got stuck somewhere. Turns out there are multiple saves you can load previously which took me a while to figure it out. That should be explained somehow from the beginning. I thought I broke the game and might’ve had to restart completely. I’m glad I didn’t.

This game is honestly one of my favorites ever, but it is damaging iPhones!. Everyone involved in the development of this work of art, I salute you as it truly is an incredible experience. But I’m somewhat concerned with the ethics of porting this to iOS given that it causes overheating issues on my brand new iPhone 13 Pro, which should be about as state of the art as you can get in terms of mobile game hardware. And excessive heat is one of the main killlers to battery longevity. I understand it is a resource intensive game but I have to stop playing it as I don’t want to damage my phone :( I have even tried clearing out all background applications and turning on airplane mode, while helped a little but it was minor. I’m not sure what can be done to amend this, but i would gladly accept a graphics hit or shorter visual distances if it meant running at safer temperatures. Just my thoughts. Maybe even just a warning included to let players know it’s a possibility that it may cause damage or to avoid playing for too long. All that being said, I am inspired to purchase this game on something with more processing power like on my computer or on a console so that I can still enjoy the game!

Amazing (few bugs to patch up here and there ). When this game was first announced back in 2020 PlayStation 5 Event , I didn’t expect to come on the Apple Arcade as well. Want to clear this out but there are times when the game either freezes up or chunks aren’t loading. And the performance was somewhat :/ wish there was a graphics option as that would’ve been nice to adjust to your device so it doesn’t hamper your devices usage Now that’s out of the way, let’s talk about the game itself: WOW, the world and the lore, how huge and freeform the land is when you traverse from one point to the other , its flawlessly fast and the gameplay is simple to work with. Sure it would’ve been nice for something else but the bow itself is good enough. If you have played any other Annapunra Interactive games (Journey and Abzu) you’ll enjoy this. Hope this game comes to the App Store to support the indie dev :)

To the Developer of The Pathless at Giant Squid/Annapurna Interactive. Hello...I would like to request your immediate attention to this possible issue with accessibility in The Pathless game. I have to inform you that I am a deaf player. I do enjoy playing games with English subtitles for the deaf. However, I recently installed The Pathless on my Apple iPad Air (3 Gen.) . When I started to play, I went to the options first to enable the English subtitles for the deaf in this game. However, I was unable to locate the subtitles option. So, I decided to start the game to see if the subtitles appeared or not. But, I have to inform you and your developer team at Giant Squid/Annapurna Interactive that I am very disappointed to find out that there are no subtitles for the deaf in this game. I cannot enjoy playing this game if I am unable to understand what the characters in this game are saying through this entire game. So, I have to tell you & your developer team that it is so frustrating for me unable to understand the entire storyline in this game. Therefore, I have to inform you and your company that I do exercise my rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and ADA Amendments Act of 2008. I would like to request that the subtitles for the deaf to be enabled in this game. So, will you and your developer team please comply with my request? I do just want to enjoy playing this game while reading the English subtitles for the deaf. Thanks for your time.

Never judge a game by first gameplay. When I first got the game I was completely lost and I got stuck in like one minute, but then i restarted the game and I LOVE IT. Okay so yea the game is quite tricky cause your given no instructions but as you go on in the game you realize that’s the best part having to try again and again just to get it right is so satisfying and as you go on you soon realize that the dead people and the temples are actually telling the story but it’s all about how u interpret them, that’s how you move forward. My favorite part is when I had to beat the “final boss” (if only) just for it to be more adventures right after that is making me giddy. I wish I could play this on a controller tho, it would make it 10x better.

Controls. Wow I gotta tell you I love this game. It’s possibly my favorite Apple Arcade game out there. My one complaint is the controls. I think it would make gameplay a lot smoother if we could customize the controls and where the buttons are because having the auto sprint button where it is has caused more than a few problems for me when I accidentally push it. If we could move where the buttons are or customize button size, that would make gameplay so much smoother and less irritating when I find out that I’ve pushed the auto sprint button and run off the edge of an obelisk or right into the jaws of Kumo. But overall, this game is lovely. The story is so cool and I really appreciate finding those little memories from the people who fought for or against the Godslayer before I came into the picture. I can feel this world pulsing with lore and mysteries to uncover and I hope this game continues to expand or maybe even get a sequel/prequel!

Good but chugs/occasionally crashes. The game is very fun! I love the movement (playing with a DS4) and Austin did AMAZING with the score (PWL listener!). My only issues so far are: • the occasional crashes - but the game does a good job of auto saving so that when I load back in, not much if anything has been lost • some chugging - I’m using a 2018 iPad (not a pro) so I understand my hardware is the limit here. It especially doesn’t like if I let the screen sleep and go back into the game. Exiting to main menu and going back in fixes that though. The game is also very needy when it comes to battery life but eh what can you do when you’re running a game like this. Its to be expected. Overall very happy to be playing this and loving the game so far!

Nimue was hard but the game is beautiful. I love this game, it’s beautiful and Nimue was very hard you just had to run around and not get caught. It was easier on a iPad than on my PS4. This game is so unique and I’m still playing through it, I’m on the last son the one that I think is a bear. On my PS4 it kept overheating and would boot me out of my game every once and while but it will ALWAYS save your progress to the closest point it can. Which is honestly 🥰. And developers, don’t let the 1 star or 2 star reviews get to you, you made a beautiful game. The game doesn’t have any in game pay for things, and this game is really just a giant puzzle with boss battles before you go onto the next boss battle. It’s beautiful and fun sadly I am getting close to finishing it. I love this game and I want a second personally. I would love to see the rest of this world that the devs have made. The eagle is amazing and running around and shooting the talismans is so fun and then sprinting and you just keep on shooting them, I saw this game played by a YouTuber (I don’t remember the name, sorry) but I instantly fell in love with the graphics. The parts where the eagle is in it is beautiful. And, SPOILERS!! When the godslayer took one of the wings I actually thought the bird FREAKING DIED and I was like 👁👄👁 Spoilers over Please people, play this game if you like puzzles and boss battles. Also if you like eagles.

Thrilling!. In my mind, The Pathless perfectly represents the promise of what Apple Arcade could be best suited to: short-medium length, highly polished indie titles. The graphics are beautiful, traversal is satisfying and puzzle difficulty is just right. Apple if you’re listening, we want more games like this on Arcade!

Bossed around. Crashes every boss fight. Have to start again.

Beautiful, amazing game.. I started playing it on my iPad but the graphics an frame rate started getting worse. I switched to the Play station 5 and it was amazing. Graphics are beautiful the frame rate was 60, I love the story. It is quite similar to the legend of Zelda: breath of the wild, but instead, it forces you to do the bosses in a certain order. It is an amazing game, and if you want to get it, get it on the Play Station 5, not an iPad or phone. The last boss is quite tricky, but also really interesting. The end is kind of depressing but it works well. It is a beautiful, amazing and interesting game. But I have one more thing to say, why do you have the button that makes you automatically run on the iPad? I kept accidentally pressing it at boss battles and messing it up. Luckily, there isn’t a button that I know about on the Play Station 5 that does that. Overall it’s an amazing game and it deserves five shiny stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

It’s real good so far. I just started playing and I love it already. I am having trouble with some of the storm parts but that’s just part of the game I guess.

Please fix. The game keeps crashing on iPhone 13 pro when using Bluetooth controller. I’m using AirPods too. Not sure if it’s related but it renders the game unplayable as it crashes every 2 minutes. Please patch it so we can keep enjoying this great game!

Great game. But iPad gets too hot while playing. Amazing game and visuals. Works well on my ipad air 3rd gen. However my device heats up quite a but while playing this game. Hope there is a fix for that.

Good game but make my phone burning hot. Game is really well made and super cool to play. However, it makes my phone burning hot after 5 mins gameplay. I wish I can play more if they fix this issue. I'm using iPhone 11 pro

No Controller support on Mac OS, crashes on iOS. After playing for hours on iOS, wiht constant interruptions from crashes and lag every 3 minutes on an iPhone 13 Pro, I decided to play the game on MacOS to see if the game did not crash so often; only to discover that the game does not recognize my Xbox bluetooth remote. It seems like the game needs some polishing and updating. Last update was over a yeear ago, so a bit disheartened that new players won't get to fully enjoy this gem...

Great but Glitch. This game has a beautiful soundtrack, amazing graphics and really fun gameplay. Unfortunately the game randomly crashes on you fairly frequently. Currently made it to the second boss but literally cannot get past it because the game just cuts out every time in the first cut scene. Incredibly disappointing.

Bad port. The game itself is enjoyable enough, if you can get it to run. Unfortunately it is so poorly optimised you’ll be lucky if you can. There are more graphically and environmentally complex titles on iOS, which run just fine, so it seems that this title is just a bad port to the platform.

Enjoying but some glitches. Ive been really enjoying the graphics quality and game, although I’m really struggling with the boses. It’s almost impossible to run them down! Also, during various tasks, my eagle gets stuck, csnt call it, it won’t come off a perched position.

Doesn’t work. Using iPhone 10 iOS 14.2. After the company logo appeared it turned to dark screen with sound but no picture. Please check.

Awful. No originality, same stupid plot about the darkness taking over and finding the light, so goddam boring

Nice polished game. The game have nice polished graphics and reasonably smooth game play but I’m just struggling to get into it, I feel like it lacks direction and I’m always lost and unsure what I should be doing.

Much more than meets the eye. I enjoyed this game immensely. The soundtrack and sound design are of the highest quality triple A titles, thanks to Austin Wintory and his team. I picked this up for a quick play, but found hours of depth and substance and a deeply immersive environment that is simple but complex with the soundtrack. I’d strongly recommend for all ages.

Interesting. The game seems really interesting, however my iPad (6th generation) can’t seem to run it. It crashes after 5-10 seconds on the beach (at the very beginning) I am sure this is just a bug and will be fixed soon. Pls fix ASAP thanks :)

Overheating and frame drops on iPhone 12. Great game but it makes the phone super hot after 10mins or so and drop battery significantly.

A little bit of a scary story but it’s worth it.. Def

Performance issues on 12 pro. Looks great but not compatible with the latest iPhone, overheats the phone after 10 or so mins

iPhone 12 Pro overheating. Not sure if it’s this game or the phone but it gets extremely hot after 10-20 minute of play. As for the game it’s quite good but does take a bit of effort to find your way around.

Good experience. Great game. Would you please update to fit the new IPad mini screen?

Great game, but update it for M1 chips. This game is quite poorly optomised for M1, can you update it for Rossetta or make it a universal app. Cheers

AMAZING!!. My friend told me this came out in Apple Arcade so i tried it and its AMAZING! I started this a while ago. I’m having some trouble finding where to go but other than that this is amazing! This must have took a lot of effort! I thank you for making this on Apple Arcade.

Awesome if you have an iPad Pro. I’m running this on my iPad Pro which I think is why I’m having such a good experience. Graphics are good, game runs super smooth, and the overall experience is good. No glitches/crashes experienced so far.

Battery drain when playing. While my iPad was charging and playing this game, my battery drained due to the app of this game. Please fix the battery drainage issue. 4 star for you for this game but 1 star lost due to battery drainage.

Fix iPhone 12 Pro frame rate in game. Steady for the first 2 - 5 minutes but then the frame rate drops and the graphics downgrade the more you play, really well made game and I’d love to play more but please fix this issue and also add an option menu for video settings for iPhone users to adjust it

Awesome game but not compatible well. The picture and scene are very delicate and I really enjoy the special vibration feedback. But it seems has some problem in compatible with on my iPhone 12 pro max, only running about 20mins, my iPhone has been very hot which lead to the system to terminate the game and wait for the temperature going down. Also, please check the bug in Redwood Steppe, there is one lightstone in a ruin, you need to light all flames in both side of a giant stone stature, but one mirror can not move back once you put it in the end. This the last lightstone I haven’t get (1 of 9), please check. Thanks.

Awesome game but I have a idea. From the beginning I have liked the godslayer and the idea of having a game from the perspective of him. I really liked how instead of having to doge out of the way he just straight up blockes you’re attacks. I also had the idea of adding equipment, as it would give the chest on the map more of a reason to... well... be there. And like I was saying about how the godslayer can block, maybe as a end game item (if you add equipment) you can use his sword instead of your post-game bow. I hope you take this into consideration, and goodbye.

With no support for the Apple TV HD, this Apple Arcade title is a non-starter. The Pathless would have to be one of the titles that had me wanting to sign up to Apple Arcade in the first place. To find that it doesn't support my Apple TV HD (which is still sold in stores, so that means it's a current device), is disappointing. Playing on mobile is only an option for those that can. This just makes the game inaccessible, no matter how visually impressive it might be.

AMAZING!!!. Perfect. Best game ever for an iPad. Get it I really recommend it.

Best Apple Arcade Game!. Finally finished it after a few days with all skill upgrades from the Tall Ones! Strangely i found the first boss the most difficult. The story and relationship between eagle and hero amazingly injected emotion into the game which is quite unique. Gameplay and vibe was original. Great balance with hard challenges and easy challenges. Lagged considerably on my iphone 7, but after getting iphone 12 it ran so much smoother, but still had a couple of short lag moments, usually on scene of wide open spaces with a lot of animation.

Fun App, but not made for iOS. Great fun, but it doesn’t seem to be coded for iOS. An iPhone 12 Pro heats up so much within 5 minutes that the graphics become poor and frame rate is jittery.

Game itself is amazing but runs like garbage on my iPhone 7. Really not much I can say besides I really wish there was a way to turn down the graphics. I can’t play this on my iMac or MacBook because I refuse to update from Mojave. Gameplay was fun enough with 10 FPS to keep me trying for a while though.

Great atmosphere, repetitive gameplay. The game is exquisitely made - the visuals, sound and music are fantastic. The open world environments are fun to explore, even if it’s hard to know where you are sometimes! My only criticism is the gameplay is pretty repetitive - each section of the game involves the same tasks (but different puzzles to achieve it), and the boss bottles are pretty similar as well. I still recommend the game though, fun and challenging without becoming frustrating. Also be aware that some devices don’t support it (like my Apple TV HD), but managed to airplay to it with my iPad 7th gen and a controller anyway!

Repetitive gameplay/crashes. This game has some amazing graphics and the movement is extremely satisfying but if I can’t even play a game for more than 5 minutes without a crash I’m not gonna play it. on top of that the gameplay gets quite stale after not that long so even if I could play for longer I don’t think i would.

Good game but very glitchy. Enjoyable game. Good puzzles. But crashes often. I have tried various fixes but despite beating one of the boss levels it shuts off during the cut scene. Has also lagged and crashed during various times of gameplay. On one level there is a mirror that appears to be stuck making It impossible to finish the puzzle.

Best game on Apple Arcade. Having played the game to completion three times, I can say this game is an absolute star. The graphics match the story and are wonderful. The most recent performance update seems to leverage the Metal frameworks better and made a huge improvement in overall game performance. Cheers to the developers and I hope that Apple Arcade is profitable for you because I can’t wait to see what comes next!

Bug issue plz fix. Fix the mirror that won’t move. In the big reptile statue puzzle plz.

Beautiful game but poorly optimized. It is a really nice game but poorly optimized. Frame drop happens often. And my phone got so hot after a few minutes of gameplay.

Gorgeous artful game. A real gem in the Apple Arcade!

Almost perfect…. This game is great and all, but it kind of just throws you out there. No instructions. It could just be me, but I got stuck trying to figure out how to get more of the emblems (not sure if that’s right, but I’m talking about the ones that activate the towers) in the tutorial (where you save the bird). So honestly, just maybe hint the players on where to go and what to do just for the tutorial and then it’ll be perfect!

Game crash. Beautiful game but i am experiencing frequent crashes on my iphone 13 mini

Runs badly on my iPhone 12 pro Max. I have a brand new iPhone 12 pro max and after playing this game for about 60seconds it was on fire! Not to mention the frame rate dropped so much it looked like I was playing a flip book. A book I was flipping with my feet mind you. Uninstalled right away. Too much good content to waste time on this.

Too good. The vast space within the game, interesting puzzles, not too hard for me to give up solving them, I’m glad game was not short, I thoroughly enjoyed playing it, it does heat up iPhone 11 a bit after 30 minutes of gameplay, but that’s acceptable given the graphics and huge level rendering to be done.

Controller. Another Apple Arcade game that does not support my Nimbus controller. Very frustrating

The path less. The game is super exiting I changed phones just to play it

Wonderful game! So addicting, has some minor flaws but completely worth the download.. I love this game, I really do. Beautiful graphics, great story line. My only issues are the controls and a new issue where the game keeps crashing (I’ve just gotten to mountain tundra and I can’t even make it 10 seconds into the game before it crashes. Such a shame. I also have some ideas for future updates. 1. The continuous running button should be slightly higher. OR swap the two buttons on the left side. I find that I’m constantly hitting it at the WORST times. If it was slightly higher I definitely wouldn’t hit it so much. It’s great at times but not always. 2. Add on a map. Something. Anything to show where the heck I am and where I need to get to. 3. I cannot stand the timer for running. It’s awful. I would be happier if the “normal” running was faster... or just no timer at all. The normal running is way too slow. It’s irritating. 4. The red cloud (I don’t know what else to call it?) doesn’t show through buildings, everything else does. I feel as though this should have been made to do that as well. Obviously this isn’t too big but it would probably settle a bit of anxiety during gameplay. 5. Some sort of Home Screen/menu level percentage for how much you’ve completed? For example, in mountain tundra, I’ve done 2 puzzles let’s day. “15% completed” or even “3/20 puzzles completed” (I’m just throwing random numbers out there..) 6. I’m using the worst terms ever but the “bosses” that you have to beat... I dread it. Heading into a fight and not even knowing how much more you have to do... you should add in some sort of display in the corner showing how much more you have to go, or how many arrows you have to shoot or SOMETHING to display that you’re making progress. At the end of Great Plaines I felt as though I was fighting to get my eagle back for SO LONG because I had no idea how much more I had to go! 7. There’s a slight delay with jumping. It’s very slight... but it throws you off. I’ve gotten used to it but maybe it could be adjusted somehow? Don’t get me wrong, I’ve pointed out quite a few things but I love this game. It’s so addicting. I’m hoping if I give the game a break or something it’ll stop crashing on me... already going through withdrawals.. :(

It’s worth it. It’s worth to take all that space on your device. And It’s awesome! Thank you for adding this! P.S. Btw this game is one PS5 to.

Un petit détail a régler pour les prochaines fois. Bon le début est cool, mais quand il viens le temps de sauver les genre de dieu j’ai prouve de criss de difficulté, car la tarnake de caméra n’arrête pas de. Bouger tout le temps dans la mauvais direction et cela me fait ragée le plus au point et je joue ce jeux sur mon iPad et je dis fait un effor pour les prochaines fois parce que criss je ne suis pas capable de sauver Sauro par contre pour le reste tout est merveilleux et remplis de décors éblouissant et le personnage principale est ravissante et. Remplir de mystère.

Frustrating crashes. Anytime you are fighting big bosses, the app crashes and my phone heats up and my battery drains really fast. I have a brand new iPhone 13 pro max. What’s going on? Would be a 5 star game if it didn’t crash. Really frustrating, please fix.

Unexpectedly Good. after a weak start and a bug ridden first play I didn’t think I would enjoy this game, yet here I am with over 20 hours of gameplay. honestly, the game isn’t optimized very well, it lags a lot and the large buttons are surprisingly easy to miss. the beautiful scenery and the relaxing and entertaining gameplay make up for it most of the time… but when it comes to boss battles it’s a real pain since it’s easy to lose track of the character in low contrast red scenery. it eats battery life like nobody and makes my phone’s hard drive audibly skip so I suspect the issues don’t come from the game itself but how it runs. all negativity aside, the world you get to explore here really is amazing. so wide, varied and rich in details. exploring it is challenging enough to keep you entertained but never frustrating. if I could give this game 3.5 stars it’s what I would rate it as protip: try putting your phone on do not disturb and turning off Bluetooth if it’s too buggy

gamepad.... Pretty slick on my brand new Mac Mini M1 but I can't make it work with either my Logitech Gamepad, or my Nimbus. Stuck using my mouse and keyboard like it's 1995...

Stunning, breathtaking, but heats up phone like nuts 🥜. It’s a breathtaking game with incredible graphics. That said, my iPhone 11 heats up with a fury. 🥵 If this game were optimized a bit more it’s easily be one of the best games on AA

Great!. Great game, playing totally fine on my 2020 MacBook Air with M1.

PLAY IT. this game is fricking gorgeous. play it. it made me cry. I DEMAND A SEQUEL

Overheats on iPhone 12 promax. It seems like a cool game with some cool graphics but it doesn’t seem to be optimized for the A14 Sox

Incredibly beautiful game!. Simple mechanics and fluid gameplay. I’m amazed this game is available on iOS. It’s well worth the space on your device. Runs well on iPad Pro.

Game is not working. Please fix. I can’t start the game.

Great game needs updates. Very good exciting game! Very frustrating though during the ‘big boss’ portions of the levels it is very hard to control, almost seems laggy and she keeps getting stuck (not on objects). Plating on a newer iPad.

Amazing. Feels like sonic racing or something, but also adventure and has tricky puzzles

Brilliantly done!. A beautiful, artful game with an atmosphere a bit reminiscent of Shadow of the Colossus (i.e. large spanning landscapes in which you are usually completely alone, save for your animal companion). Rewards curiosity, doesn't hold your hand more than it needs to, and does a great job of keeping you immersed in its world. Edit: Took away one star because controller support is indeed currently broken (tried using an Xbox One controller on a late 2017 MacBook Pro).

Wonderful game. The maps are so big and they have so many details that really let the player choose how much they want to get out of the game. You could choose to only check off all the tasks or you can find the hidden puzzles to gain more powers. The animation is smooth, although the controls can be a bit difficult to adjust to at first. I never experienced bad lag or glitching. The story and lore you discover along the way is so captivating! It does a wonderful job of worldbuilding without being too overwhelming. I just wish that after you finish the game there was a world roaming option, I would've liked to keep exploring after.

Very nice. One of my favourite in Apple Arcade. Beautiful and different! Try it out!

Beautiful game!. Simplistic narrative with enjoyable gameplay that reminded me of why I like adventure based games that focus on puzzels and exploration. Beautiful music and sound, played extremely well on my Macbook air without any issues. Truly an ejoyable experience.

One of Arcade’s finest games!. The puzzles are entertaining; the protagonist’s journey is riveting and the visual graphics are beautiful. This is probably one of my favourites games on Arcade, hence why I gave it a 5 star rating. My only constructive feedback pertains to the battles against the bosses. I had difficulty controlling the protagonist which could be frustrating at times. I also experienced a few crashes. Overall this game is amazing! I look forward to the next adventure!

.... Sa ne sauvegarde pas... ça fait 3 fois que ça me fait ça sur la Apple TV les sauvegardes bogue énormément ce qui est très fatiguant de à chaque fois devoir recommencer...

Magnifiques. Votre créateur vraiment très bien fait et j’étais en train jouer avec ma manette PS4 ça fonctionne très bien avec mon iPhone XR mais mon Apple TV ça fonctionne pas je crois c’est un bug dommage c’est pas grave je préfère mettre la place mon iPhone 😁👍🏻

VERY Laggy Gameplay. I Have a Macbook Pro 15,1 2017 and this game lags so much

Would be a great game if it don’t crash half the time. Have an iPhone 13 still crashes every time I play against the boss, optimize your game better if not don’t put it on the App Store

A surreal, and superb experience.. Now, I have played ABZŪ, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Open, relaxing, and heart wrenching, ABZŪ is idyllic, fascinating, and excellently showcased. I loved swimming through the magical open sea, playing with dolphins, and breaching the surface with rays! It was a fantastic game, and worth the money I spent on it. Changing into this game, I had set my expectations quite high, even for a mobile game…but man, did I ever gasp at this games graphics! Everything I saw was pure eye-candy, watching my character sore above the enormous pines, and dash through grassy meadows with wildlife gave me a relaxed feeling! The music is so well played, the “voice-acting” was beautiful, and really engaged me in the scenes. The boss battles were dramatic, and enjoyable; pushing you to use your wits, and strength to shoot down your opponent. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I highly enjoyed it! I am looking forward to advancing in the story some more, and exploring this charming, and dangerous world in The Pathless. 🦅

Not able to play. It’s not letting me go in whenever I try to play it doesn’t let me play it doesn’t say anything or do anything when I press the play button

Looks wonderful. Transforms phone into a grill.. Not sure it’s worth the temperature my phone reaches after ten minutes of playing time. Amazing start but there’s definitely work to be done if they ever want people to play without their device being plugged in and liquid cooling.

WoW! Now it’s my favourite game. brilliant! great game!!!! I've played it 13 times in 1 year!🤩🤩🤩😍❤️💎💎❤️

One of the best games in Apple Arcade 👍🏻. It is very difficult but a fantastic long game. $20 video game quality!

Really great but..... The game looks amazing runs very smoothly, really enjoyed it. However, just after a few minutes my phone became incredibly hot. Using an XR

Trop compliqué. Je trouve que les boss sont vraiment compliqué à battre. Ça ne finit jamais… je suis sur iPhone et c’est beaucoup trop difficile de contrôler le personnage, de battre un boss compliqué et aussi long à battre. Mais le jeu est vraiment beau et bien fait.

Gorgeous game. Definitely best played on iPad with a compatible controller. This game is gorgeous with a perfect balance of puzzles, combat, and exploration.

Amazing and awesome game!. I think this is the absolute best free game in the App Store. Edge of your seat excitement. Did I say awesome? I completed it in 18 1/2 hours.To the developer… Will there be a part 2 to The Pathless?

Sensitivity. This game gets a 5 star from me as far as story line! I do, however, have one complaint! I wish you were able to adjust the sensitivity as I find sometimes I’m swinging all over the place trying to adjust! Aside from that I’m not so much experiencing the other problems I’ve seen listed and have found myself quite enjoying this game! Great job team!

Best game on mobile so far. I’ve only played until I fight the first boss but that fight alone is better than most of the games on the App Store and this game really gets you hooked on the story. Plus the gameplay is an A+, can’t wait to finish the rest of the story

Overall good game with small bugs. Overall I’ve really enjoyed this game! The style, the music, the bosses. It’s been an amazing experience. My only problem is the bugs, I’ve found that fighting some of the bosses causes the game to crash just as I am near finishing. But at the end of the day, an awesome game!!

Simply great!. This has got to be one of the best games on Apple Arcade right now.

Not working. Hey I was just wondering if it would be compatible on more devices, because it doesn’t seem to be working on my iPad. I’m sure it’s a great game and I can’t wait until I can play it.

Waste of time. I played this on a iPad Air 5 M1 chip a gaming beast yet it seemed like I switched to a potato what are you guys hiding under the hood why so laggy

Nice game…. But how come I’m being kicked out of the game when I’m doing a boss fight. Its unfair I have to start from the beginning. It makes the game the opposite of fun. And not to mention the lagging. I have an iphone 13 pro max, and my memory not being used, you’d think this wouldn’t happen at all…

Groundbreaking Game. This is an amazing game, control compatibility is fluid for both phone and iPad. This game alone is worth Apple Arcade. The adventurous free roam world with great visual aspects is unlike any other game. The Pathless is set up with quest throughout the game, most things learned by trial and error with a choice to peruse many side quests. From boss fights, and strategic puzzles to a deep storyline lore ending with a conclusion that leaves you wanting more! This underrated game has set the bar high for all other mobile games. Dev info: 1. Force closed once during boss fight, but due to auto save, minimized stress in having to repeat certain aspects. 2. FPS drops randomly in flight over map 3. Phone definitely was hot, but I’m sure it was due to being glued to the phone for a 12 hrs throughout 3 days.

Love this game!!. I have been obsessed with playing it ever since I started. There isn’t too much direction which I love but it’s pretty simple to figure out where to go on your own. The graphics are amazing. I can’t say enough about how much I love this game and trust me I am very picky when it comes to games. Thank you and keep up with the good work. I can’t wait to see what you guys do next.

Amazing game, but not for Older phones. It’s like sky children of light crossed over with sonic and Zelda. This game action pacing, music and art is beautiful. The mechanics where you use the bow to shoot at things to speed up is an awesome mechanic. The only thing is, it’s very laggy, and crashes. I’m in the first official boss, and it always crashes during the fight. It just can’t handle loading or too many items in the game. Maybe a rerelease on steam or on a console is order?

Gameplay is great but other issues are to be had for now. Like the title states the gameplay is great, but there is work to be done on the graphical settings such as giving the options to the higher end devices such as the new 12’s and 11’s. On the Apple 4K front proper support needs to given for connected homepods where all sounds are being “double timed” in a asynchronous sound effect. All in all the game is great and definitely welcome to have big story driven games on arcade

Best game in Apple Arcade. This game was really fun. It is challenging. I played on iPad and never had graphical issues. The controls were tough to get a hold of at first, but eventually it because easier. It was fun, beautiful, and good gameplay. Apple Arcade - please invest in getting more games like this one. Stop investing in simple games that I could play without Apple Arcade - please invest in richer games that actually make it worthwhile to pay the subscription, like this game. Thanks team for building this game dev team, and excited for what’s next.

Lag on iPhone makes boss levels near impossible.. Beautiful game, it my brand new iPhone 12 is extremely hot after 5 minutes of play. The boss levels require fast reflexes, but with the lag on the phone (assuming bc of the pull of the graphics chip and processor)... I can’t see how anyone would find enjoyment in the game play. If you want to just fly around and run, then great game. If you’re looking to play the storyline... maybe it would be better on MacBook Pro or something that could take the load. Pretty frustrating.

Bold, beautiful, puzzles. Kudos to all the designers, programmers, musicians that contributed to this game. I’ve spent a few long evenings enjoying the immersive world of The Pathless. I love the puzzles, scenery, and flying! So fun to soar over these mountains. I have had zero issues and pure fun. Took me a while to figure out what I was trying to do, haha. FYI - I am playing on Apple TV (2022) with a Sony ps5 controller. It’s projected onto 105” screen and the graphics are amazing.

Good so far, but crashes. This game has been very engaging and has pulled me in. I enjoy the story and game mechanics. However, I am stuck on a boss. Not because I am unable to beat the boss; I have beaten it multiple times now. I am stuck because the game consistently crashes during the boss defeat cutscene. Each time I reload the game, the game loads at the save point prior to the boss battle. While I enjoyed the game this far, the constant crash is progress-killing. As a result, I am uninstalling the game for now. If these crashes are fixed, I am happy to reinstall the game, and adjust my rating.

Fantastic!!. I had zero issues with this game. I played it non stop for a couple days and finally finished. The ending was touching and sad but it was AWESOME! Just had fun all around. Loved the moral and main character. (Spoilers) I do wish the ending was slightly different though. I wish I could have gone back and finished all of the puzzles. I also wish the darn eagle hadn’t just flown away uncaring lol, like bruh I loved you the whole game and you just fly away while I’m dying like that? Ugh. Not cool.

Great game expect for the constant crashing. Absolutely love the game except for one issue and that is in every boss fight the game crashes I’m currently on the 3rd boos and I will beat the boss get the cutscene and then it crash and I have to start over or I’ll get close to beating it and it will crash and again have to start all over but besides the issue of crashing with the boss fights it is an over great game( I have been at the third boss all day and have had the game crash 10 times on me)

Easily one of the best games I’ve played on the App Store!!. The Pathless and Beyond a steel sky are by far easily the best games I have ever played in the App Store! It’s amazing that I can play this on my Apple TV with a controller and on my phone while on the go. To think that I can have a whole interactive open map world to play with a compelling storyline and very acceptable graphics from the App Store is absolutely totally completely awesome!

Amazing game, but the crashes... I got this game very recently and since opening it I haven't stopped playing since! However, about halfway through my gameplay the game started suddenly constantly crashing. It wasn't too much of an issue until I got to the second boss. Initially I could get to the cutscene before it crashed, but now I can't even finish the boss fight without having to start over from the beginning. This has made the game unplayable, hence such a low rating. I've also seen other complaints regarding this that haven't been addressed. Please fix this!

Love the game, some annoying problems. Hey guys. Game is incredible so far! However I am constantly running into the problem where my character will keep moving forward even though I stopped making her move. So on severe jumping puzzles I get it just right then my character decided to continue running off the edge. As you could see its pretty frustrating and annoying. Would love to see a patch with this fixed before I seriously continue. Thanks again!

Cloud save game bugs. Edit2: cloud save is still not working across devices. I wanted to shift my progress to another device but it doesn’t recognize the other saves. Other Apple Arcade games recognize cloud saves. Edit: cloud saves is not working after additional testing. This should be a given for Apple Arcade games. I would give it a one star just for missing this feature but stuff happens. Please fix. Thanks. So far I like it but I don’t see the save games syncing up across devices. Not sure if this is an Apple issue or app. I am only doing two stars because this does take some time to get through the game’s cutscenes and storylines to resume where I led off. I would expect this to be more seamless. Otherwise it shows promise.

Decent game, with some issues. Overall it’s a fun game to play. I really like the focus on puzzles and exploration and not so much combat. Boss fights seem easy because you can’t die, but they’re still hard. It all comes down to timing. My biggest issues with the game are performance and controls. Performance: this game drains my battery (iPhone 12 pro) like a starving dog at a buffet. It’s insane. The game badly badly needs a frame rate limiting option. Controls: the inability to reconfigure the controls is terrible. In particular the placement of the dash button, I have often worked my way to the edge of a very high up point so I can look for red buildings to figure out where to go next, and then accidentally tap the dash button by mistake and then fall off a ledge. We need to be able to reposition the buttons. Yes there’s an option to make them smaller but that doesn’t help with placement. Overall this is a very solid game suffering from fixable issues.

Beautiful, well done.. Love this game on iOS. Obviously the graphical style necessitates grater processing power than what is available in most iOS devices, but on a newer device it runs like a console game. Excellent support and integration, the controls are fluid. Wish developers would make more games like this for mobile devices, as this game serves as the perfect example of what mobile gaming can become.

Love this game on my iPad Pro + DS4. Hooray, the wait is finally over for this amazing game! Job well done Matt Nava and the Giant Squid team. I've played approximately 28 hours so far and just can't get enough. My expectations were high, and scenery, the gameplay, the secrets, the unexpected surprises, and of course, the music all exceed what I hoped for. No issues on this device with framerates or anything else. I wish I could play it on my Apple TV HD though. Keep up the good work!

A beautiful, open world masterpiece. I can’t speak to the technical issues some others have mentioned (works perfect on my 2019 iPad Air), but the game itself is nothing short of stunning. Be patient learning the controls and game mechanics. You will be rewarded with one of the richest gaming experiences in the App Store. Gorgeous music and visuals. Unique gaming mechanics. True open world exploration and discovery. In this casual gamer’s humble opinion, this is a masterpiece.

Give this game a chance. It turns into something great.. I have to say that I wasn’t sure what to think of this game at first. At the beginning it’s a bit confusing and you’re left with no instruction on what to do or where to go. After getting out of the first area, however, the game really started to come together for me and ends up becoming a lot more like Zelda: Breath of the Wild (there are some big influences at least) As for how it runs, it runs great on my 2018 iPad Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max (not surprising).

Don't get me wrong, this game is great. Super fun, with a wonderful movement system and a dedicated “pet the eagle” button, and I was enjoying it until about now. On the 3rd plateau, the one with the snake/hydra boss, I accidentally clipped under this place that I think is called the shrine of the mask, near one of the big towers, and I cannot get out. I have tried every trick in the book, but I remain stuck. I would appreciate a fix for this, but that shouldn't stop any consumers reading this from getting the game.

Makes Arcade Worthwhile. This game, The Pathless, along with The Last Campfire, make subscribing to Arcade worthwhile. I am not very competent, so I was totally stymied by the time I got to the first boss fight. This game is so beautiful that I bought a game controller for my iPad, started the game over, and got through that boss fight. I did hit a big glitch where I needed to pet the eagle and the control would not work, either with the game controller or touch controls. I moved on and purposefully threw myself into the fire, and then got the pet eagle control back. Looking forward to continuing the journey.

AWESOME. Best game I have ever played on an iPhone. For me it’s not laggy what so ever at all. I would make sure your phone is up to date for software update and that you have a stable WiFi connection. I finished the game and it didn’t lag the entire time. I recommend you PLEASE PLAY THIS GAME , if you like these types of games. I just wish there was a record option so I could have recorded what I did but all in all thumbs up to all the creators man. This is a nice piece of work. 👍😊

One of my Apple Arcade favorites.. I loved the design, combat, and exploration (which isn’t mind numbing like other large open world games, because by shooting the talismans you can move FAST). Game mechanics and puzzles are good, only a few stumped me for a little bit; but I never had to look up where anything was. Just get someplace high, use the mask, and anything red is incomplete! I would recommend!

Beat the Godslayer, Still stuck in the dark. The game was fun and I loved the puzzles. I beat the Godslayer, rolled the credits, got the achievement unlocked, tapped start again to go back and get the talismans I missed, to find the world still covered in darkness and as if I didn’t just beat the big bad. I was expecting to be able to go back and the world be bright sunshiny and I could roam around the open world all happy and complete all the side achievements. But nooooooooo. Darkness everywhere again as if beating the final dude was pointless.

Amazing Game!. I have to say this has been the best game I played from the App Store, I thought this game was originally for ps but when I heard it was coming to Apple Arcade I had to subscribe to it, the story for this game has been phenomenal, the open world is beautiful, I have zero complaints as I am playing on the iPad Air 4, great game great music everything about this game is really phenomenal, thank you devs for making this beautiful game it was worth the wait

Glitch and lag ridden. I really want to like this game. The design is beautiful, the soundtrack is excellent, and the idea is original. But it is so laggy and glitchy it’s basically unplayable. I am playing on an iPhone 8 which I know is essentially a dinosaur in today’s tech so I don’t know if that is impacting it but I honestly had to just shut the game off because the cutscenes were lagging so bad. I hope a patch repairs the issue and if it does, I will update to 5 stars. Worth giving a shot, maybe your device will do better!

Glitches and lags,but other then it’s amazing 🤩. I finally found out how I can get further in the game instead of glitching and kicking me out I can play it in peace, you just hv to delete it and download it after a or two, and it would be better if you add boy skins even if I’m not a boy I really think you should add it and if it’s possible make it a multiplayer game. That all great game 🤩thank you for your time. :)

Ok umm not the best. Ok so my old teacher (a video game FREAK) told the class that a new game on Applearcade had come out. Me and my friend Emerson (also a game FREAK) downloaded it. Emerson said his favorite part of the game is shooting the thingys, I agreed, but that didn’t make sense shooting thingys should not be all you do in the game! You did not do a good job of explaining how to play, this is in fact VERY boring and I am about to delete it. Emerson actually deleted it too, and you should try to learn from other exploring other games such as: The Last Campfire, Sky: Children Of The Light, and if you stop the calmness of the game, maybe Sneaky Sasquatch. So goodbye please suggest other games for me goodbye. - a sassy 9 year old girl❤️

Brilliant Game Until There’s Too Much Action. This is one of the most beautiful and expansive games I’ve ever played. The realism of the feeling of motion, of flight, the artistic detail, the sheer vertiginous vastness of the game’s world are truly amazing. But even on a brand new iPhone 12 Pro Max, during normal play, it periodically slows to a crawl - 1 to 4 frames/second - and you just have to stand still and wait a minute for the phone’s hardware to catch up. I’m stuck at the Nimue boss battle and can’t continue, because the action buttons don’t respond quickly enough (or at all sometimes) to react to what’s going on in the battle. I love the game, but if the newest and best processors Apple has to offer can’t handle the load, even after a reboot, it may have been a premature release.

Awesome gameplay. This game has amazing visuals and I love the eagle I named her mystic cause I just wanted to call her something. it’s so fun to glide around and I always like to make the character an acrobat I love the bosses but Nimue was really hard for some reason. Still everything about this game is amazing it’s cool how if you look at the first place with the deer god if your go into a waterfall I think you can find the shark from abzu. It’s a super fun game but it’s really laggy nowadays I don’t think this game should change at all this is amazing!

Can we get a skip boss fight option?. I love this game! However, I am stuck at the last stage of the boss fight with Nimue. I just cannot make it around on the small areas to land on while avoiding the burning, fiery lava. So now I am unable to continue, which makes me very sad. I am not someone who likes that aspect of games anyway: what I enjoy about Pathless are the puzzles. If I could just skip that part of the boss fight, I could keep going.

A really good game, plagued by FPS Drops. I adore Annapurna Interactive as a publisher, and have ended up loving all of the games they’ve put out. This game seems amazing from what I’ve played of it. Traversal is a blast and the controls (using a controller) and animations feel great. Like others have said, the game doesn’t run at a stable FPS on my iPhone XS, which is disappointing. It dips to around 20-25FPS(?) too often that it becomes bothersome. I agree with the other reviewers that the graphic fidelity needs to be adjustable (or the game should have an option to switch between quality and performance)

Awesome game but glitches out. I really do like this game, but I can’t get through the cutscene after the second boss without the game crashing. I have a 6th gen IPad, and I’ve tried everything else to no avail. I have had it glitch to where I can’t control the movement a few times as well, but it usually fixes itself after restarting the game. Other than the glitches, it really is a beautiful game with great music and storyline. Hopefully they can fix the glitchy-ness is future updates. I would love to continue with the game.

Great game! Here are a few suggestions.. I really love this game, it gives me “Sky” vibes. I want to get straight to the point; there should be an internal suggestion box (even if you don’t read it it should be there). I really would like a way to mark locations in the distance in spirit view (since you can’t see through walls when you are going for a ‘key?’.) thats about it, aside from making some multiplayer activity’s. I would like to race in this game, that seems like fun.

Very fun but a little hot. Brand new iPhone 13 playing this is amazing. Runs really smooth besides a couple frames drops here and there, but not detrimental. Really fun to run while hitting talismans. Good controls but needs getting used to. Visuals are impressive to compliment the vast world you play in. Though the game will heat up your phone (not good for your battery) and even crash at the most inconvenient times ( like the bosses).

Apple Arcade’s Best. I had Apple Arcade for six months or so and ended up cancelling seeing as there were no more games that really caught my attention. When I saw this game, I had to resubscribe to try it. It just looked phenomenal. I’ve finished beating the first boss already, and all I can say is wow. This game is remarkable. I’m playing it on my iPad Pro 2020, it looks and plays amazing. The concept is super cool, and it’s a great way to spend a day. The developers nailed this game, and I can wholeheartedly say that this is the BEST game Apple Arcade has to offer to date.

Amazing game!!. This is genuinely and amazing game and I would honestly play it over and over again! The only issue is the fact that it crashes a lot. But when I was looking at reviews a solution came up: to pause for a little bit at a time during the places it crashes. For me that was during the chase scenes. But overall I love the different puzzles and the movement of the entire game!

Exceptional and Highly Addictive!!. Played this one with a controller, made all the difference! Excellent graphics! I’m not sure why some older iOS users where experiencing lag, but I had zero glitches and incredible video quality. The game is easy to pick up and interesting, the only thing that could’ve made it easier to navigate would have been some sort of map feature perhaps. Loved it!

Love love love this game!. The learning curve to make good use of controls was for me a bit challenging at first. Seemed like I was sliding and flying too fast everyonce at time. Then i got more adaptation to controls and now I like best the fastest mode! Also love to search and find the nautilus so I can enter the secret temple and see the other tall one. So good! And it was right there at the eagle’s nest in the very beginning, but broken off so i didn’t notice at first. Fantastique!

One of the best game of arcade.. This game is really amazing. It takes you to explore an open world with ruins and puzzles in it. The design for the world is very delightful. The monsters are very well design. They really project the darkness in them, which create a dark atmosphere and an exciting confrontation between the main character and the monsters. The controllers match very well with arcade. In overall the game is well balance. I am really hoping there are new games in arcade like this one in the future. This game really gives you the best parts of video games.

Great game but….. Over all this is a great game, I love the idea of having a bird as a companion and solving puzzles across the maps, however I would love to have the ability to just fly around freely, like a free play mode! For example if you finish the game what would you do? Or if you just want to explore the map without having to worry about the flight limit or stop to solve puzzles!

Pretty good.. Thought I would finish the game before reviewing, so here I am. Overall, it was a nice game. Definitely challenging and few directions are given at the beginning so you’ve gotta figure it out. Definitely requires some prior game experience. This takes time. I finished in just under 8hrs. Be prepared for 2(?) especially hard bosses (5 total). Requires good puzzle skills, quick fingers, and patience.

Absolutely... STUNNING!!. Just finished the game after not being able to put it down since it came out. The graphics, the open world, the interactive boss fights... OUTSTANDING!! I highly recommend this game for people who like puzzles, but not too challenging. Also, I played this mostly on my iPhone 12 Pro Max with the Razor Kishi remote controller. My coworkers thought I was playing on a switch 🤣🎮 I really hope to see more games like this on Arcade in the future. You guys and gals did a SPECTACULAR JOB!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Best game in Arcade. Personally think this is the best game in Apple Arcade! Whether you play with touch controls or separate controller this looks great in both art style and quality. Runs smooth even while screen recording gameplay. I used my Kishi controller with this game. Perfect pair and really fun open word puzzle game and nice battles. Really like the mechanics of the game bad how it feels good to move around. Nicely done! Passed the game a little too fast and did everything possible. 17 total hours well spent! Hope to see more great games like this one.

Excessive. I was enjoying this game until I got to the part where I had to chase down a fire demon, shooting arrows at 6 of its targets, while also shooting diamonds to keep my own speed, avoiding fireballs and the river in the dark. Then when I shot all of its targets. I for some reason had to do it again; this time in an arena format. Shooting all of its targets without any speed to actually get to the side of the stupid beast. At the beginning this game was fun as it was a “Pathless” journey through a world. This quickly changed and lost all of its zen.

Long wait rewarded. I have to admit that I kept my Apple Arcade subscription in anticipation of the release of The Pathless. The wait was worth it so far! I haven’t progressed too far yet, but so far the gameplay is smooth, graphics are amazing, and the story is well put together. There have been some glitches so far, but it was just released so I am NOT expecting perfection. Thanks for delivering this amazing game to Apple Arcade! Can’t wait to see what this game has in store.

Love the game but needs better graphics optimization for Apple hardware. Gameplay is fantastic and addictive. Really wonderful gameplay mechanics, themes, and story. Seriously it’s 👌. However on iOS and macOS, you’re going to get a subpar experience from the graphics department regardless of your hardware. On my new iPhone 12 pro it looked, to be very honest, really bad. Slow input responses, graphics looked blurry, muddy even. It looked like I was streaming the game to my device, not rendering it on the fly on my own device. Tried on my 2018 MacBook Pro and dropped frame rates, again looking like it was streamed and not rendering live. I even adjusted graphics sliders and it wasn’t performing that great. It hurt to see such a beautiful game perform so badly. Devs, I get it. it’s hard to optimize for so many hardware devices, especially when you’re launching not just on Apple Arcade but a new system like the PS5. But please, when you have time 🙏 address the graphics issues. I love the game but I can’t play it in its current state.

Good, but not best.. I really am enjoying the game so far, I love the thrill of moving at high speeds, and this game is perfect for that. The story line is, well, amazing. The puzzles are tricky, and fun to figure out. But what gets me, is the graphics. They are well.......terrible. I have a iPad Air latest gen, and more than plenty of storage. My WiFi is fine, I have stable connection, and the graphics are still garbage. I don’t know how, I don’t know why. Please help me fix this, as I love the game.

4.5 stars Beautiful Sprawling Landscapes. At first blush, this game seems overly simple and a bit of a Zelda clone. BUT when the game begins to reveal itself though story and puzzles, you get to see its unique qualities. I really enjoyed this one. 👍 My only gripes are that the game feels pretty much the same from level to level. Climb high up to get a good view, find red zones, clear red zones by 1-5 different ways, free 3 towers, chase down bad guy, shoot arrows at it, rinse and repeat 5 times. Though, even with that repeating pattern this game kept me coming back for more. The mystery of the island and the VERY slow story drip made me want to figure out what happened and why. But then again, if you are not a completionist, you will likely miss 90% of the story and never really understand why the game is called Pathless. 🤷‍♂️ Even with all of that, still a solid and time-worthy 4 star game. Download it now.

One of the best games on Apple Arcade. In my view this is one of the best games Apple Arcade offers. The story is beautiful, the gameplay is fantastic, the visuals stunning. I only wish there was more! There are a few achievements I can still play for but overall I’ve finished it and I’m upset about it! That’s when you know it’s a great experience!!
