The creators of the well-received Abzu, studio Giant Squid, once again prepared a game in which unusual, artistic audiovisuals play a big role. It's probably the graphics that influence the creation and our perception of the plot the most – quite standard plot, let's add, because we save the world from looming dark forces. In The pathless, we take on the role of a mysterious warrior who travels the game world with her companion, eagle.

On the way to the goal we face sinister demons and powerful bosses, requiring proper preparation before the fight. The heroine has a bow and an interesting range of movements, pretty much acrobatics, at her disposal. The presence of the eagle, which can help us if we take care of it properly, e.g. by frequently petting it was also ingeniously used. This game received high ratings, and players emphasize its unique "magic" and the perfect combination of atmosphere, gameplay mechanics and environmental puzzles. The Pathless is also a fairly fresh approach to the open-world genre.
