My annual invocation to play The Pathless to anyone that will listen

#someone in my tags mentioned shadow of the colossus yesterday and bingo #many games have tried to ape its aesthetic but none have zeroed in on the game design DNA in sotc better than the pathless #the ethos of minimal GUI in a functional open world with an intricate traversal system and bonkers boss fights #wrapped in a mythic parable that doesn't overstay or overexplain itself one iota. and it looks incredible. and sounds astonishing #and! you get an eagle pal with cute petting mechanics! she snuggles you if you hit the sweet spot even. 10/10 #the pathless #my shots
