The story in The Pathless is simple, linear, but also timeless. It's up to the Hunter, accompanied by a splendid eagle, to eliminate the evil spirits that occupy this once thriving land and finally restore peace. Many adventurers have attempted the feat, but no one has ever managed to defeat the dark threat that dominates the island. An unnamed Hunter, armed only with a powerful bow, reaches an island wrapped in a curse. Especially, because they gave to me the same emotions.īut let's start with the plot. And not because Giant Squid has "copied" from other studios' ideas, far from it, but the sensations contained in it reminded me of these games for very different reasons. In my first hour with The Pathless, at least a couple of games came to mind that are capable of exemplifying the powerful substance contained in this new title: Okami, Shadow of The Colossus, and The Last Guardian. And the result is incredibly satisfying, believe me. The Pathless - a new adventure game for PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 - confirms that it's still possible to develop games characterised by a relaxed pace, especially in a world where videogames as a medium seem increasingly obsessed with velocity. The achievement will pop up as soon as you've finished them all - no need to finish the game again.Īll that said, it has been a little tricky to decipher this since the game's release since there's no in-game achievement tracker, so I have a couple of (hopefully helpful) checklists that summarize everything above in this guide.I had no doubt that a combo such as that between an innovative publisher like Annapurna Interactive ( What Remains of Edith Finch, Gone Home), and a talented studio like Giant Squid Studios ( Abzû) would be a success.

In any case, two things to note: (1) It's OK to take breaks, as long as you don't start a new game and (2) If you already finished the game, you can just select "Continue" from the main menu. This likely explains the seemingly sporadic behavior of why some got the achievement and others didn't. UPDATE: I have now confirmed what others have known for months by now: in order to unlock this one, you have to have every other achievement unlocked in the same save file. If it doesn't immediately unlock, try finishing the game's story. Regardless, it's supposed to unlock once every other achievement is unlocked. Note however that as of this guide's posting, this achievement is bugged and may not always unlock. Happy hunting! And if you are ever in need of consolation, read on. If you think you have missed something, fear not, for this is an open world game, meaning that right up to the game's ending, you can go back to any point in the game, even the very beginning!.For that last case in particular, keep an eye out for small masked statues or a pixelated-looking diamond-eye icon.Use your spirit vision often! It will reveal to you: (1) Where you traveled, (2) What major things you missed (they have misty auras that will flash orange, as opposed to blue once completed), and (3) stuff for secrets.Do not worry so much about everything else. Seek out structures great and small, man-made and natural, for secrets are to be found there.This is a highly general tip that's useful in any exploration and hidden object game. Try not to go immediately for the game's goals. Always be exploring, whether freely or systematically.From this point on in the guide, all the achievements are missable, and a few of them are a little tricky, so I offer these tips you can try:
