The emptiness of the world is made apparent from the moment the Hunter sets foot on the beach. The eagle is a useful tool for traversal and puzzle-solving while also serving as the Hunter’s lone companion. While it might be a minor setback, missing a jump isn’t the end of the world all thanks to your eagle companion. If your timing is wrong, you might find yourself falling. The talismans you shoot give you a burst of forward momentum in addition to refilling your meter, so, for example, if you’re trying to get across a large canyon quickly, you need to time out your jumps as well as exactly when you want to hit each target. This mechanic works outstandingly well and is the absolute highlight for The Pathless. There is no aiming mechanic in the game which means that hitting targets isn’t about your precision, but instead your timing.

Speed and accuracy are not things that typically go hand in hand, so to remedy that, Giant Squid threw accuracy out the window.

When I first started the game, I was worried about how that mechanic would work. ' is the absolute highlight for The Pathless.'
