There’s a satisfying twist on the familiar archery mechanic, and doing away with the world map that has become standard in modern open-world games is a brave step forward It even offers some unique interpretations of the same formula. The Pathless emphasizes player choice and immersive world design, but on a much more bite-sized scale. Any exploration that comes after is the icing on the cake.

A completionist playthrough of Breath of the Wild can take upwards of 200 hours, but you can beat The Pathless in just five hours. Nintendo has deemed this style of open-world game “open air,” and we’re starting to see more games of this style pop up, like Genshin Impact and Immortals Fenyx Rising. While the endpoint is predetermined, the journey there makes for an adventure that’s unique for every player.

Near the beginning of both games, players are set loose in a large world and asked to explore it with only a few end goals in mind. If The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildwas too daunting in scope for you, The Pathless will be much more appealing.
