In general i found the game to drag on a bit, the gameplay loop becoming a little stale after a while. Though they still give you other rewards, like being able to fly higher for example. I mostly focused on only getting enough puzzles solved to move on personally, because i didn't find them to be fun enough to seek out afterwards.

Most of the puzzles are rather simple, with a few more elaborate ones here and there. That will let you challenge the local boss, upon who's defeat you may ascend to the next plane or stay and keep solving the remaining puzzles if you so wish. The gameloop mainly consists of having to solve puzzles that are strewn about each of the 5 planes to gain enough seals to cleanse three towers in each area. Together, this makes traversing the huge areas fun and keeps you engaged. On top of that you get the help of your trusted eagle, which let's you glide around and gain vertical mobility. This lets you hit talismans even quicker, for quicker traversal in turn, but requires very precice timing, because otherwise your arrow will miss it's mark.ДЇor me personally though, the timing this required was a little too tight to reliably pull off, so towards the end of the game i usually opted to simply go for the guaranteed hits. This makes traversing the world quick and engaging.ДЇor another layer on that system, there's also 2 options you have when shooting talismans - either you fully draw back your bow, for a guaranteed hit or you try to charge it up to exactly half before shooting. The Pathless is a beautiful game with a unique twist on the open world exploration genre.Д®verywhere in the world are strewn about talismans you may shoot with your bow, which will give you a short burst of speed and charge up your stamina bar, which in turn you can use to sprint.
