While its movement system is unique, The Pathless is otherwise clearly inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, with players exploring a large, mostly-destroyed open world, dotted with dilapidated buildings that are similar to BOTW's Shrines. Some open-world games struggle with keeping the inevitable travel between point A and point B interesting, but The Pathless' unique movement system makes these usually-dull sections of gameplay pretty fun. If players are able to send their arrows flying at the right times, they can chain together a ton of shots that will let them build up maximum speed and practically (or in some cases, literally) fly to their destination. The Pathless uses a stamina meter that players can constantly refill by shooting talismans dotted around the map. The Pathless' bow is key to the gameplay, as players not only use it to shoot switches and the game's few enemies, but it also plays a big role in movement. The Hunter is armed with nothing but her bow and before too long, an eagle companion that helps her better explore the game world.

The Pathless sees players take on the role of the Hunter, a mysterious warrior who is trying to restore order to a land ravaged by a demonic curse. Giant Squid's most recent game, The Pathless, is similar to Abzu in that it, too, has eye-catching visuals, but this new game is much more ambitious, especially from a gameplay standpoint. Abzu became somewhat of an indie darling at the time of its release, with particular praise given to its art style. In 2016, indie studio Giant Squid released Abzu, a gorgeous game about a diver exploring the ocean.
