    Though it treads old ground at times, stand-out action sequences and appealing simplicity make it hard not to enjoy The Pathless.

    A beautiful, but derivative game, with bad performance on M1 Macbook.

    Pros:
    + An aesthetically pleasing game. The designs of the eagle and Змей Горыныч are especially good.
    + The movement feels interesting and fluid (it's never perfect though).
    + The score is good (nowhere close to ABZU, though. w/o the orchestra it doesn't catch the imagination that well).
    + The puzzles are fine (though, they're rather obvious).

    Cons:
    - Frame rate drops on M1 Mac are distracting. Also, there were visual glitches when rendering creatures.
    - The art direction is derivative. The game tries to be a mix of Shadow of the Colossus and Breath of the Wild and fails at both. It's a bad copy, not an 'inspired by' game.
    - The boss fights are repetitive and weakly designed. They follow the same structure for each one. And the art style of making everything red makes it hard to track things. (The final battle is fine, though.)
    - The map is barren and boring. Open world games are as good as their side quests, and here they range from bad to meh.
